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...
To elucidate the function of oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) during B-cell differentiation we employ CD23Cre-driven expression of the dominant-negative K320E mutant of the mitochondrial helicase Twinkle (DNT). DNT-expression depletes mitochondrial DNA during B cell maturation, reduces the abun...
BACKGROUND: In all living organisms, DNA replication is exquisitely regulated in a wide range of growth conditions to achieve timely and accurate genome duplication prior to cell division. Failures in this regulation cause DNA damage with potentially disastrous consequences ...
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 ...
Macrophage-derived foam cell plays a pivotal role in the plaque formation and rupture during the progression of atherosclerosis. Foam cells are destined to divergent cell fate and functions in response to external stimuli based on their internal states, which however is hidden in the traditional ...
Ubiquitin-like protein ISG15 (interferon-stimulated gene 15) has been implicated in the regulation of central carbon metabolism, but conflicting findings across experimental systems have limited mechanistic insight. Here, we applied a multi-omics approach in cells ectopically expressing the ISGyl...
