Meiosis-specific cohesin complexes differing in their kleisin subunit display different chromosome binding dynamics and perform specialised functions in sister chromatid cohesion, chromosome axis organisation, and double-strand break repair.

The protocol reported can open the way to investigation of the effects of a variety of sensory stimulations on brain activity in embryo.

A biochemical approach using the Wnt pathway as a model system demonstrates a new mechanism for specificity in interconnected signaling networks through scaffold-mediated shielding of bound proteins.

A review of the current empirical literature underscores the need for longitudinal research examining potential spillover effects between hesitancy, intention, or uptake for the COVID vaccine and HPV and HBV vaccines, especially to account for social media misinformation.

The endopeptidases ECS1 and ECS2 regulate double fertilization and their modulation is a powerful tool for the induction of haploids and the formation of triparental plants, which are two agronomically relevant breeding targets.

Artificial RNA interference is a novel loss-of-function method for highly stringent target validation in oncology and beyond.

Application of museomics facilitates characterization of the contribution of historical factors to genetic diversity declines in Numenius shorebirds and highlights that extinction of ecosystem-engineering megafauna may have been detrimental for open-landscape species.

HIV-1 infection activates the human CARD8 inflammasome via innate immune recognition of HIV-1 viral protease activity.

Combination of primary brain culture and single-cell RNA sequencing in brain organoids identifies microglia as the main target of rubella virus infection.

Biallelic MAD2L1BP variants contribute to oocyte metaphase I arrest in women with primary infertility and p31^comet is required for human oocyte maturation.
