Abstract:
... Cell deformability plays an important role in cellular processes and functions, including cell growth and differentiation, as well as cell transfer and cell cycle. Measuring deformability at the single-cell level has attracted great interest in biomedicine owing to its importance in various applications, such as cell separation, disease diagnosis, and drug screening. Therefore, an accurate, robust ...

Abstract:
... With high mortality and morbidity rates, lung cancer (LC) has become one of the major threats to human health. The treatment strategies for LC currently face issues, such as drug resistance and body tolerance. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is characterized by novel pharmacological mechanisms, low toxicity, and limited side effects. TCM includes a substantial number of biologically active ingr ...

... The nucleus is highly compartmentalized through the formation of distinct classes of membraneless domains. However, the composition and function of many of these structures are not well understood. Using APEX2-mediated proximity labeling and RNA sequencing, we surveyed human transcripts associated with nuclear speckles, several additional domains, and the lamina. Remarkably, speckles and lamina ar ...

... The interaction of RB with chromatin is key to understanding its molecular functions. Here, for first time, we identify the full spectrum of chromatin-bound RB. Rather than exclusively binding promoters, as is often described, RB targets three fundamentally different types of loci (promoters, enhancers, and insulators), which are largely distinguishable by the mutually exclusive presence of E2F1, ...
... The coincidence of cell cycle exit and differentiation has been described in a wide variety of stem cells and organisms for decades, but the causal relationship is still unclear due to the complicated regulation of the cell cycle. Here, we used the planarian Dugesia japonica since they may possess a simple cell cycle regulation in which Cdh1 is one of the factors responsible for exiting the cell c ...
... A photo-activated aptamer–drug conjugate, HG1-9–DNP, was developed based on an aptamer HG1-9 and a photolabile naphthalimide derivative DNP. HG1-9–DNP could be internalized into cells mediated by TfR, then photocleaved, and released a promising cytotoxic agent, DNNH, which arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase, resulting in high photo-induced cytotoxicity. ...
... N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) is an abundant RNA modification that plays critical roles in RNA regulation and cellular function. Global m⁶A profiling has revealed important aspects of m⁶A distribution and function, but to date such studies have been restricted to large populations of cells. Here, we develop a method to identify m⁶A sites transcriptome-wide in single cells. We uncover surprising heterog ...

Abstract:
... Cellular processes are highly dependent on a dynamic proteome that undergoes structural and functional rearrangements to allow swift conversion between different cellular states. By inducing proteasomal degradation of inhibitory or stimulating factors, ubiquitylation is particularly well suited to trigger such transitions. One prominent example is the remodelling of the centrosome upon cell cycle ...

Abstract:
... While exposure of C17.2 neural progenitor cells (NPCs) to nanomolar concentrations of carbon nanotubes (NTs) yields evidence of cellular substructure reorganization and alteration of cell division and differentiation, the mechanisms of NT entry are not understood. This study examines the entry modes of (GT)₂₀ DNA-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) into NPCs. Several endocytic mechanis ...

Abstract:
... Omics data integration plays an essential role in manifesting hidden cancer insights. To detect the main combinatorial/parallel impact of cancer events, integrative approaches in pan-cancer studies must be used. Here, we assessed gastrointestinal (GI) cancers from several perspectives of genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, and also combinatorial impacts using a novel integrative approach to sc ...

Abstract:
... Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as regulators of diverse cellular processes. Although the vast majority of lncRNAs are expressed at lower levels compared to messenger RNAs (mRNAs), many lncRNAs play a central role in the regulation of cellular homeostasis and gene expression. With the advancement of next generation sequencing technologies, recent studies illustrate the diversity of lncR ...

Abstract:
... It has been proposed that ATR kinase senses the completion of DNA replication to initiate the S/G2 transition. In contrast to this model, we show here that the TRESLIN-MTBP complex prevents a premature entry into G2 from early S-phase independently of ATR/CHK1 kinases. TRESLIN-MTBP acts transiently at pre-replication complexes (preRCs) to initiate origin firing and is released after the subsequent ...

Abstract:
... Ordinary differential equations (ODE) have been widely used for modeling dynamical complex systems. For high-dimensional ODE models where the number of differential equations is large, it remains challenging to estimate the ODE parameters and to identify the sparse structure of the ODE models. Most existing methods exploit the least-square based approach and are only applicable to Gaussian observa ...

Abstract:
... p53 plays a critical role in regulating diverse biological processes: DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and senescence. The p53 pathway has therefore served as the focus of multiple drug‐discovery efforts. p53 is negatively regulated by hDMX and hDM2; prior studies have identified 14‐3‐3 proteins as hDMX and hDM2 client proteins. 14‐3‐3 proteins are adaptor proteins that modulate localizati ...

Abstract:
... Tumor development studies should adapt to cancer cells’ specific mechanisms in connection with their microenvironment. Standard two-dimensional cultures and gas composition are not relevant to the real cancer environment. Existing three-dimensional models are often requiring sophisticated conditions. Here, we propose and characterize, in two cancer models, melanoma (B16F10) and kidney cancer (RenC ...

Abstract:
... The function of trichome in plants, the first barrier against biotic stress and changing environments, is irreplaceable in physical protection and chemical defense. The regulation processing developments of trichome in plants can be divided into two categories: the single-celled trichome exampled by Arabidopsis and multicellular trichome exampled by tomato. This paper focuses on the types, morphog ...

Abstract:
... The histone variant H2A.Z has been extensively studied to understand its manifold DNA-based functions. In the past years, researchers identified its specific binding partners, the ‘H2A.Z interactome’, that convey H2A.Z-dependent chromatin changes. Here, we summarize the latest findings regarding vertebrate H2A.Z-associated factors and focus on their roles in gene activation and repression, cell cy ...

Abstract:
... Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a major component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and play an important role in tumor progression. MSCs remodel the extracellular matrix, participate in the epithelial–mesenchymal transition, promote the spread of metastases, and inhibit antitumor immune responses in the TME; however, there are also data pertaining to the antitumor effects of MSCs. MSCs activa ...

Abstract:
... Understanding why various organisms evolve alternative ways of living requires information on both the fitness advantages of phenotypic modifications and the costs of constructing and operating cellular features. Although the former has been the subject of a myriad of ecological studies, almost no attention has been given to how organisms allocate resources to alternative structures and functions. ...
