The Spike gene expressed by the vector-based vaccine Vaxzevria bears the risk of cryptic splicing, which in turn may lead to cellular production of soluble, instead of membrane-anchored, Spike protein variants.

Meiotic recombination and chromosome segregation require the establishment of chromatin boundaries by the acetyltransferase Eco1, which anchors both chromatin loops and cohesion.

Live imaging of the duel of an NK cell versus a metastatic cancer cell on pulmonary epithelial cells reveals a novel survival tactics adopted by cancer cells.

The repression of HIF-1 plays a central role in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction and subsequent tissue damage in diabetes, which is mediated by increased mitochondrial respiration, making HIF-1 signaling an attractive therapeutic target for diabetes complications.

Infrared high-pulse-energy low-pulse-repetition-rate excitation advances deep intravital microscopy in strongly scattering tissues such as skin tumors and thick bone, thereby bringing previously inaccessible tumor areas in reach with subcellular resolution.

Pre-RC component Cdc6 is primed for origin licensing by phosphatases and Cdk1 inhibitor.

A 3.1 Å structure of cytoplasmic dynein-1 in complex with its regulator Lis1 reveals the interfaces between dynein and Lis1, all of which are important for dynein function in vitro and in vivo.

The bacterial periplasm must adapt to factors effecting the width of the cell envelope.

MakA, a pore-forming cytotoxin produced by Vibrio cholerae, forms oligomers and remodels membranes into high-curvature tubes, resulting in membrane integrity loss inside acidified organelle lumens or when cultured with cells in an acidic medium.

Alternative 9-1-1 complexes have evolved to play essential roles in mammalian meiosis and function to activate the protein kinase ATR and promote key meiotic events necessary for fertility.
