The paper uses single-molecule imaging in Xenopus laevis egg extracts to show that most parental histones are evicted during DNA replication, with histone recycling and nucleosome sliding occurring less frequently.

This paper develops rice tissue media to enhance conidiation of Ustilaginoidea virens, improving pathogenicity testing and genetic analysis for false smut resistance.

This paper introduces a fluorescent protein reporter to measure live human cell size, showing it is more robust than existing methods and useful for studying size-dependent cell cycle regulation.

This study investigates the biochemical properties of alarmone synthesis and hydrolysis in Staphylococcus aureus, revealing differences in substrate specificity and regulatory mechanisms among Rel, RelP, and RelQ proteins.

This study shows cyclin D-Cdk4,6 drives cell cycle progression by phosphorylating Rb's C-terminal helix, which is distinct from other cyclin-Cdk interactions and critical for tumor suppression.
