Genomics of Preaxostyla Flagellates Illuminates the Path Towards the Loss of Mitochondria

The notion that mitochondria cannot be lost was shattered with the report of an oxymonad Monocercomonoides exilis, the first eukaryote arguably without any mitochondrion. Yet, questions remain about whether this extends beyond the single species and how th ...

Clinical efficacy of ONC201 in H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline gliomas is driven by disruption of integrated metabolic and epigenetic pathways

Sebastian Martin Waszak, Li Jiang

H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma (DMG) patients have no proven effective therapies. ONC201 has recently demonstrated efficacy in these patients, but the mechanism behind this remains unknown. We assessed clinical outcomes, tumor sequencing, and tissue/ ...

Potent Virustatic Polymer-Lipid Nanomimics Block Viral Entry and Inhibit Malaria Parasites In Vivo

Francesco Stellacci, Matteo Gasbarri

Infectious diseases continue to pose a substantial burden on global populations, requiring innovative broad-spectrum prophylactic and treatment alternatives. Here, we have designed modular synthetic polymer nanopartides that mimic functional components of ...

Dissecting centriole fate in C. elegans development

Nils Kalbfuss

The presence of centrioles is critical for fundamental cell and developmental processes, including polarity, migration and division. Although centrioles are present in most proliferating cells, they are thought to vanish after cell cycle exit in some diffe ...

Regulation of sedimentation rate shapes the evolution of multicellularity in a close unicellular relative of animals

Omaya Pierre Dudin

Significant increases in sedimentation rate accompany the evolution of multicellularity. These increases should lead to rapid changes in ecological distribution, thereby affecting the costs and benefits of multicellularity and its likelihood to evolve. How ...

Principles of checkpoint override

Ahmad Sadeghi

Why biological quality-control systems fail is often mysterious. Specifically, checkpoints such as the DNA damage checkpoint or the spindle assembly checkpoint are overriden after prolonged arrests allowing cells to continue dividing despite the continued ...

Structures of SAS-6 coiled coil hold implications for the polarity of the centriolar cartwheel

Pierre Gönczy, Georgios Hatzopoulos

Centrioles are eukaryotic organelles that template the formation of cilia and flagella, as well as organize the microtubule network and the mitotic spindle in animal cells. Centrioles have proximal-distal polarity and a 9 fold radial symmetry imparted by a ...

Metabolic regulation of cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Özge Uysal Özdemir

All cells need to be able to sense their environment, and adapt their metabolism, growth and cell division appropriately. In this study, I examined the response of Schizosaccharomyces pombe to a change in the carbon source and how that affects cytokinesis. ...

Microfluidics Approach to the Mechanical Properties of Red Blood Cell Membrane and Their Effect on Blood Rheology

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In this article, we describe the general features of red blood cell membranes and their effect on blood flow and blood rheology. We first present a basic description of membranes and move forward to red blood cell membranes' characteristics and modeling. W ...

Carbon nanotube uptake in cyanobacteria for near-infrared imaging and enhanced bioelectricity generation in living photovoltaics

Vitalijs Zubkovs, Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Alessandra Antonucci, Charlotte Elisabeth Marie Roullier, Nils Schürgers, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert, Alice Judith Gillen, Melania Reggente, Mohammed Mouhib

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have unique optoelectronic properties that make them suitable for applications ranging from phototherapy to imaging and sensing, but their uptake has mainly been explored in eukaryotic cells. Here the authors explore ...

Live-seq enables temporal transcriptomic recording of single cells

Bart Deplancke, Pernille Yde Rainer, Riccardo Dainese, Wanze Chen, Magda Zachara, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Wouter Saelens, Orane Josiane Guillaume-Gentil

Single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) has greatly advanced our ability to characterize cellular heterogeneity(1). However, scRNA-seq requires lysing cells, which impedes further molecular or functional analyses on the same cells. Here, we established Liv ...
