Exploring cohesin and replisome interactions during DNA replication.
Generating and Working with Drosophila Cell Cultures
Challenges and opportunities to improve the state of Drosophila cell cultures.
Modelling the Architecture of the Cell Nucleus
Polymer physics is the basis to models that explain chromatin folding mechanisms.
Lighting Up The Nanoscale Chromatin Structure
Synergistic developments in advanced fluorescent imaging and labeling techniques enable direct visualization of the chromatin structure and dynamics at the nanoscale level and in live cells.
A Bright Sight: New Atypical Plasma Source Improves Plasma Medicine
An atypical, low‐power, atmospheric pressure plasma source for application in plasma medicine.
Viruses as Controllable Nanodevices
Physical, chemical, and synthetic virology work together to reprogram viruses as controllable nanodevices.
Translational Control By Poxviruses
Poxviruses are an unusual family of large double‐stranded (ds) DNA viruses that exhibit an incredible degree of self‐sufficiency and complexity in their replication and immune evasion strategies.
Yeast: A Solution to Cost-Effective, Wearable Radiation Dosimeters
Low-cost, wearable sensor that use the metabolic response of yeast to measure ionizing radiation doses are developed.
The Complex Enzymology Of mRNA Decapping
Single stranded RNAs with a free 5′ monophosphate end are susceptible to rapid degradation. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are stabilized by hairpin structures and by “hiding” their 5′ ends within complex protein structures.
Methylated Cytosine: A Promising Regulator of RNA Function?
It is a well‐known fact that RNA is the target of a plethora of modifications which currently amount to over a hundred. The vast majority of these modifications was observed in the two most abundant classes of RNA, rRNA and tRNA. With the recent advance in mapping technologies, modifications have been discovered also in mRNA and in less abundant non‐coding RNA species.
