Nucleic acid and histone modifications critically depend on tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for substrates and co-factors. Although a few TCA cycle enzymes have been reported in the nucleus, the corresponding pathways are considered to operate in mitochondria. Here, we show that a part of the...
In annually reoccurring patterns, microalgae form blooms that persist and decline thereby contributing massively to global biogeochemical cycles. The decline of blooms is mainly caused by nutrient limitation and goes ahead with the aging of individual algal cells. Nutrient intake can re-initiate ...
Synthetic biology, relying on Design-Build-Test-Learn (DBTL) cycle, aims to solve medicine, manufacturing and agriculture problems. However, the DBTL cycle’s Learn (L) step lacks predictive power for the behavior of biological systems, resulting from the incompatibility between sparse testing dat...

Cell size and the cell cycle are intrinsically coupled and abnormal increases in cell size are associated with senescence and permanent cell cycle arrest. The mechanism by which overgrowth primes cells to withdraw from the cell cycle remains unknown. We investigate this here using CDK4/6 inhibito...
