GeTe exhibits intrinsically high carrier concentrations that limit its thermoelectric performance. Herein, CuAgSe alloying synergistically tunes the band structure, induces band flattening and valence‐band convergence, promotes Cu‐ion delocalization, and generates multiscale hierarchical structures to suppress phonon transport.

The Double Face of Base Excision Repair: Preventing and Triggering Double‐Strand Breaks
Base excision repair is conserved from bacteria to man, robustly eliminating oxidized bases in DNA and reinserting the appropriate nucleotide to restore an intact double helix. Recent results describe conditions and mechanisms that misregulate long‐patch BER to generate double‐strand breaks, triggering chromosome fragmentation and cell death, altering ...

DNA repair in cancer: emerging targets for personalized therapy [PDF]
Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is under constant threat from endogenous and exogenous DNA damaging agents. Mammalian cells have evolved highly conserved DNA repair machinery to process DNA damage and maintain genomic integrity.

ABSTRACT Mycobacteriophage Mcgavigan could be a promising candidate for use as a preventative agent against infections with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Bioinformatic analysis of the Mcgavigan genome revealed the presence of an operon containing a “Bxb1‐like” repressor.

tRNA ligase structure reveals kinetic competition between non-conventional mRNA splicing and mRNA decay. [PDF]
Yeast tRNA ligase (Trl1) is an essential trifunctional enzyme that catalyzes exon-exon ligation during tRNA biogenesis and the non-conventional splicing of HAC1 mRNA during the unfolded protein response (UPR).

Sister chromatid telomere fusions, but not NHEJ-mediated inter-chromosomal telomere fusions, occur independently of DNA ligases 3 and 4 [PDF]
Telomeres shorten with each cell division and can ultimately become substrates for non-homologous end-joining repair, leading to large-scale genomic rearrangements of the kind frequently observed in human cancers. We have characterised over 1400 telomere

HLA‐Knockout: Enabling Allele‐Specific Knockout of HLA Class I Genes for Immunogenic Engineering
ABSTRACT The interaction between T‐cell receptors (TCRs) and antigenic peptides presented by HLA molecules is fundamental to adaptive immunity. However, the extreme polymorphism of HLA genes poses major challenges for transplantation, antigen discovery, immunotherapy and studies of allele‐specific function.

Plant tRNA ligases are multifunctional enzymes that have diverged in sequence and substrate specificity from RNA ligases of other phylogenetic origins [PDF]
Pre-tRNA splicing is an essential process in all eukaryotes. It requires the concerted action of an endonuclease to remove the intron and a ligase for joining the resulting tRNA halves as studied best in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

ABSTRACT Metastasis is the leading cause of death related to breast cancer. Premetastatic niches (PMNs), which are remodelled by the primary tumours in distant organs, are essential for the colonisation of disseminated cancer cells. The vascular niche is among the most pivotal PMNs in breast cancer lung metastasis, and the underlying mechanism remains ...
