Article Abstract
The nucleoplasmic extract (NPE) of Xenopus laevis eggs contains a physiological concentration of nuclear proteins that recapitulate a functional nuclear environment. This system has been widely used to study key nuclear processes, including DNA replication, repair, transcription, and chromatin assembly. Its soluble nature, free from membrane fractions and insoluble structures, enables direct analysis of nuclear responses to specific DNA structures and lesions. Here, we describe an NPE preparation protocol with our modifications and its application in the processing of DNA double-strand breaks, a critical step in homology-directed repair.

Biological systems intricately regulate their density and volume throughout their life cycles and in response to physiological changes. Mass density, as a fundamental physical quantity, plays significant roles in biological processes such as differentiation, cell growth, protein synthesis, and condensate formation. Loss of density homeostasis on the other hand can have severe consequences including cellular senescence and disease states.

Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) has been one of the most severe digestive system malignant tumor with poor prognosis that threatens human health. Chemotherapy is essential for patients with advanced PC, but unfortunately the curative effect is limited by chemoresistance. CircTNPO3, a recently discovered circular RNA (circRNA), has been indicated to be associated with multi-types of tumors.

Intermediate filaments called lamins line the metazoan nuclear envelope and organize the nucleus and genome. Unlike actin and microtubules, purified intermediate filament proteins assemble into non-physiological structures, making it difficult to connect lamin functions to their assembly and regulation. To overcome this challenge, we reconstituted lamin assembly without nuclear assembly using interphase egg extracts that recapitulate physiological context.

Radiotherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment for glioblastoma (GBM). However, the frequent occurrence of radiation resistance presents a significant therapeutic challenge. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying this resistance is essential for improving GBM treatment strategies.
