STK19 facilitates the clearance of lesion-stalled RNAPII during transcription-coupled DNA repair.

Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) removes bulky DNA lesions impeding RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription. Recent studies have outlined the stepwise assembly of TCR factors CSB, CSA, UVSSA, and transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) around lesion-stalled RNAPII. However, the mechanism and factors required for the transition to downstream repair steps, including RNAPII removal to provide repair proteins access to the DNA lesion, remain unclear.

Experienced career perspectives of nursing students and their supervisors in learning departments: a qualitative study.

Background: Due to the nursing shortage, positive work environments are needed to retain (student) nurses. More and attractive internships for students need to be ensured. In order to provide more internship places learning departments were developed, which are characterized by a buddy system and supervisors who coaches at least two students during a shift.

CRISPR screens in sister chromatid cohesion defective cells reveal PAXIP1-PAGR1 as regulator of chromatin association of cohesin.

The cohesin complex regulates higher order chromosome architecture through maintaining sister chromatid cohesion and folding chromatin by DNA loop extrusion. Impaired cohesin function underlies a heterogeneous group of genetic syndromes and is associated with cancer. Here, we mapped the genetic dependencies of human cell lines defective of cohesion regulators DDX11 and ESCO2.

Patients' experiences of safety in a hospital learning department: A qualitative study.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore experiences of the safety of hospital-admitted patients in learning departments where students and nurses provide care together.

Methods: This general qualitative explorative study was conducted in a University Medical Center in the Netherlands. Patients admitted to a learning department were purposefully sampled.
