Article Abstract

The restoration of homeostasis after tissue damage relies on proper spatial-temporal control of damage-induced apoptosis and compensatory proliferation. In imaginal discs these processes are coordinated by the stress response pathway JNK. We demonstrate that JNK signaling induces a dose-dependent extension of G2 in tissue damage and tumors, resulting in either transient stalling or a prolonged but reversible cell cycle arrest. G2-stalling is mediated by downregulation of the G2/M-specific phosphatase String(Stg)/Cdc25. Ectopic expression of is sufficient to suppress G2-stalling and reveals roles for stalling in survival, proliferation and paracrine signaling. G2-stalling protects cells from JNK-induced apoptosis, but under chronic conditions, reduces proliferative potential of JNK-signaling cells while promoting non-autonomous proliferation. Thus, transient cell cycle stalling in G2 has key roles in wound healing but becomes detrimental upon chronic JNK overstimulation, with important implications for chronic wound healing pathologies or tumorigenic transformation.

The sluggish kinetics and diffusion of lithium polysulfide (LiPS) intermediates lead to the decline in the capacity and rate of high-energy lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Integrating adsorbents and electrocatalysts into the Li-S system is an effective strategy for suppressing the polysulfide shuttle and enhancing the redox kinetics of sulfur species. The disordered structure of the electrocatalysts exhibits significantly enhanced catalytic activity.

Despite significant advancements in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using conventional therapeutic methods, drug resistance remains a major factor contributing to disease recurrence. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential benefits of combining PI3K inhibition with Cisplatin in the context of NSCLC-derived A549 cells. Human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells were cultured and treated with BKM120, cisplatin, or their combination.

Apicomplexan AP2 (ApiAP2) family proteins are a family of transcription factors that are known to regulate gene expression in apicomplexan pathogens, including . In this study, we focused on TgAP2X-7, a member of the APiAP2 family that is predicted to be essential for fitness. Endogenous tagging of TgAP2X-7 followed by immunofluorescence analysis revealed that it's a cell cycle-regulated nuclear protein with peak expression in the G1 phase.

DNA replication requires recruitment of Cdc45 and GINS into the MCM double hexamer by initiation factors to form an active helicase, the Cdc45-MCM-GINS (CMG) complex, at the replication origins. The initiation factor Sld3 is a central regulator of Cdc45 and GINS recruitment, working with Sld7 together. However, the mechanism through which Sld3 regulates CMG complex formation remains unclear.

Oxidative stress induces a wide range of cellular damage, often causing disease and cell death. While many organisms are susceptible to the effects of oxidative stress, haloarchaea have adapted to be highly resistant. Several aspects of the haloarchaeal oxidative stress response have been characterized; however, little is known about the impacts of oxidative stress at the translation level.
