PrimPol-deficient cells exhibit a pronounced G2 checkpoint response following UV damage [PDF]
PrimPol is a recently identified member of the archaeo-eukaryote primase (AEP) family of primase-polymerases. It has been shown that this mitochondrial and nuclear localised enzyme plays roles in the maintenance of both unperturbed replication fork ...

Choice between 1- and 2-furrow cytokinesis in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos with tripolar spindles
Excess numbers of centrosomes often lead to multipolar spindles, and thus probably to multipolar mitosis and aneuploidy. In Caenorhabditis elegans, approximately 70% of the paternal emb-27APC6 mutant embryonic cells contained more than 2 centrosomes and ...

Clinical and genetic landscape of epilepsies with absence seizures and single‐gene etiology
Abstract Objective To characterize the clinical, electroencephalographic, and genetic features of epilepsies featuring absence seizures within monogenic etiology, highlighting the diagnostic, treatment and prognostic implications. Methods We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study including patients with monogenic epilepsies and ...

The frequency and consequences of multipolar mitoses in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells.
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cells widely used in cell therapy and tissue engineering. However, the broader clinical applications of ES cells are limited by their genomic instability and karyotypic abnormalities.

Abnormal cleavage patterns in equine in vitro‐produced embryos lead to higher early pregnancy loss
Summary Background Despite significant advances, in vitro production (IVP) of equine embryos continues to lack standardised embryo classification criteria and is associated with increased rates of early pregnancy loss compared with in vivo‐derived blastocysts.

Phosphorylation of Targeting Protein for Xenopus Kinesin-like Protein 2 (TPX2) at Threonine 72 in Spindle Assembly [PDF]
The human ortholog of the targeting protein for Xenopus kinesin-like protein 2 (TPX2) is a cytoskeletal protein that plays a major role in spindle assembly and is required for mitosis.

Mitotic cell death induction by targeting the mitotic spindle with tubulin-inhibitory indole derivative molecules [PDF]
Tubulin-targeting molecules are widely used cancer therapeutic agents. They inhibit microtubule-based structures, including the mitotic spindle, ultimately preventing cell division.

Sinup is essential for the integrity of centrosomes and mitotic spindles in zebrafish embryos
Fish lineage-specific gene, sinup [Siaz-interacting nuclear protein], modulates neural plate formation in embryogenesis and shares homology with human TPX2 protein, a member of the vertebrate mitogen-activating protein family. In spite of the presence of

Cytoarchitecture and myeloarchitecture of the sheep auditory cortex
This article describes the cyto‐ and myeloarchitecture of the sheep auditory cortex. It outlines a six‐layered cortical organization, with variations in cellular types and densities. The potential location of the primary auditory cortex is indicated by parvalbumin immunostaining.
