Precocious activation of APC/C-Cdh1 at pre-anaphase causes genome instability [PDF]
Faithful chromosome segregation and thereby accurate gene transmission are crucial for all organisms. Until proper attachment of the mitotic spindle to the kinetochore is established, the ubiquitin ligase (E3) Cdc20-activated APC/C (anaphase promoting ...

Rpd3L and Hda1 histone deacetylases facilitate repair of broken forks by promoting sister chromatid cohesion [PDF]
Genome stability involves accurate replication and DNA repair. Broken replication forks, such as those encountering a nick, lead to double strand breaks (DSBs), which are preferentially repaired by sister-chromatid recombination (SCR).

Errors in chromosome segregation during oogenesis and early embryogenesis [PDF]
Errors in chromosome segregation occurring during human oogenesis and early embryogenesis are very common. Meiotic chromosome development during oogenesis is subdivided into three distinct phases.

Flavouring Group Evaluation 82 Revision 2 (FGE.82Rev2): Consideration of epoxides evaluated by JECFA
Abstract The Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) of the European Food Safety Authority was requested to consider evaluations of flavouring substances assessed since 2000 by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), and to decide whether further evaluation is necessary, as laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No.

Aging and Immortality in a Cell Proliferation Model
We investigate a model of cell division in which the length of telomeres within the cell regulate their proliferative potential. At each cell division the ends of linear chromosomes change and a cell becomes senescent when one or more of its telomeres ...

Mussel eggs as indicators of mutagen exposure in coastal and estuarine environments [PDF]
The aim of this study was to develop a short-term genotoxicity assay for monitoring the marine environment for mutagens. Based on the developing eggs and embryos of the marine mussel Mytilus edulis, an important pollution indicator species, the test ...

Therapeutic Gene Editing: DNA Repair Pathways, Emerging Editors, and Clinical Progress
ABSTRACT The field of gene editing has evolved rapidly over the past decade, progressing from programmable zinc‐finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator‐like effector nucleases (TALENs) to the widespread adoption of CRISPR‐Cas systems. First‐generation editors catalyzed genome engineering by introducing targeted double‐strand breaks (DSBs ...

Graphene Triggers Inflammation in Murine Microglia via Phagocytosis
Phagocytosis of single‐layer graphene by microglia triggers inflammatory activation without cytotoxicity. Small carbon nanotubes elicit similar responses, whereas larger graphene nanoplatelets do not. Proteomic analysis reveals effects on inflammation, cytoskeleton, and proliferation, highlighting the importance of graphene stability for safe neural ...
