Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have

Regulation of chromosome congression : focus on the function of hSpindly and the kinetochore recruitment of the Ska complex [PDF]
, 2011 Mitosis is a process in which cells divide their genetic materials equally into two daughter cells. During mitosis, specialized structures called kinetochores (KTs), located at the centromeric regions of chromosomes, are captured by microtubules (MTs ...

Some assembly required: Redefining the mitotic checkpoint
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017 The spindle assembly checkpoint (also known as the spindle or mitotic checkpoint) is a surveillance system that ensures fidelity of chromosome segregation.

Mitotic Spindle Assembly in Land Plants: Molecules and Mechanisms
Biology, 2017 In textbooks, the mitotic spindles of plants are often described separately from those of animals. How do they differ at the molecular and mechanistic levels?

Translating whole‐genome doubling into precision medicine in cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Whole‐genome doubling creates a WGD‐positive tumor state characterized by persistent chromosomal instability, karyotypic diversification, and cellular stress. These same biological pressures drive aggressive tumor evolution while exposing therapeutic vulnerabilities, providing a rationale for WGD‐informed precision medicine. Whole‐genome doubling (WGD)

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level
Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

Prime movers : mechanochemistry of mitotic kinesins [PDF]
, 2014 Mitotic spindles are self-organizing protein machines that harness teams of multiple force generators to drive chromosome segregation. Kinesins are key members of these force-generating teams.

Aging-related aneuploidy is associated with mitochondrial imbalance and failure of spindle assembly
Cell Death Discovery, 2023 Despite aging is closely linked to increased aneuploidy in the oocytes, the mechanism of how aging affects aneuploidy remains largely elusive. Here, we applied single-cell parallel methylation and transcriptome sequencing (scM&T-seq) data from the aging ...
