The paper measures histone synthesis rates in vivo and finds that stress induces a surge in hepatocyte nucleosome production uncoupled from DNA replication.

This study identifies Topoisomerase II divergence as a cause of reproductive isolation between Drosophila species due to its role in resolving DNA satellite-induced topological stress.

The paper identifies how reduced ribosome levels in neural progenitor cells contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders and shows that mTOR activation can alleviate these defects.

This study identifies ZNF692 as a nucleolar scaffold that enhances 40S ribosome maturation and translation efficiency in rapidly proliferating cells, particularly in cancer cells.

This study identifies MSL3 as a master regulator coordinating transcription and translation during meiosis in female Drosophila and shows its conserved role in mouse spermatogenesis.

This study identifies Importin-9's role in Drosophila germ cell nuclear processes, showing its necessity for chromosome segregation, histone-to-protamine transition, and proteasome function during gametogenesis.

The paper identifies GCNA as a conserved regulator of genome stability in germ cells across species, showing its role in preventing DNA damage and maintaining fertility.
