The mechanisms of lead neurotoxicity remain

Authors Burchert JP, Graceffa R, Saldanha O, Burghammer M, Köster S Journal Journal of Synchrotron Radiation Citation J Synchrotron Radiat. 2023 May 1. Abstract Owing to their large penetration depth and high resolution, X-rays are ideally suited to study structures and structural changes within intact biological cells. For this reason,

Authors Quililan K, Oberbeckmann E, Cramer P, Oudelaar AM   Journal BioRxiv   Citation bioRxiv 2023.02.27.530214.   Abstract The spatial organization of the genome modulates nuclear processes, including transcription, replication, and DNA repair1,2. Eukaryotic genomes are organized into distinct 3D chromatin domains3. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive the formation

Authors Homberg B, Rehling P, Cruz-Zaragoza LD Journal Trends in Cell Biology Citation Trends Cell Biol. 2023 Feb 28:S0962-8924(23)00020-X. Abstract Most mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and transported into mitochondria by protein translocases. Yet, mitochondria contain their own genome and gene expression system, which generates proteins that are
