The Minc Team has just published a new paper in PNAS :
Contribution of cytoplasm viscoelastic properties to mitotic spindle positioning
Abstract
Cells are filled with macromolecules and polymer networks that set scale-dependent viscous and elastic properties to the cytoplasm. Although the role of these parameters in molecular diffusion, reaction kinetics, and cellular biochemistry is being increasingly…

14TH FRENCH 3R MEETING
REPLICATION - RECOMBINATION - REPAIR: FROM MOLECULAR MECHANISMS TO CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
MAY 10-13, 2022, PRESQU’ÎLE DE GIENS, FRANCE
Mechanisms of genome surveillance monitor and guarantee the integrity of genomic material and the accurate duplication of DNA before cell division. Any failure or misregulation of these mechanisms often leads to deleterious genetic disorders. Activation of these mechanisms…

A new study by the Grange/Geigl team published in Science Advances on 14 January 2022!
Before the introduction of the domestic horse in Mesopotamia, valuable equids were being harnessed to ceremonial or military four wheeled wagons and used as royal gifts, but their true nature remained unknown.
According to a palaeogenetic study, these…
