The spindle assembly checkpoint ensures that mitotic cells only segregate their sister chromatids once all chromosomes are attached via kinetochores by microtubules of the mitotic spindle. Reporting in Developmental Cell, Silió et al. (2015) show that in human cells the signaling cascade controlling the checkpoint operates through two separate branches.

Cyclin Dependent Kinases (CDKs) are closely connected to the regulation of cell cycle progression, having been first identified as the kinases able to drive cell division. In reality, the human genome contains 20 different CDKs, which can be divided in at least three different sub-family with different functions, mechanisms of regulation, expression patterns and subcellular localization. Most of these kinases play fundamental roles the normal physiology of eucaryotic cells; therefore, their deregulation is associated with the onset and/or progression of multiple human disease including but not limited to neoplastic and neurodegenerative conditions.

This article explores the complicated relationship between feminism and women's mental health. I discuss the differences and convergences between neurodiversity and mental health and how feminist theory has approached these topics. While contrasting the pathologisation that mental health disciplines can apply to women, feminism has often reduced mental health conditions to mere manifestations of patriarchy.

But climate change, combined with aging and underfunding, is increasingly testing the limits of-and reversing gains made by-these large-scale water systems. To address these growing strains and gaps, we must assess and advance alternatives to centralized water provision and sanitation.

In recent years, there has been a growing and high-profile movement for 'global mental health'. This has been framed in 'psych system' terms and had a particular focus on what has come to be called the 'Global South' or 'low and middle-income countries'. However, an emerging 'Mad Studies' new social movement has also developed as a key challenge to such globalising pressures.

Emerging evidence suggests that transgender individuals are more likely than cisgender peers to receive a diagnosis with a primary mental disorder. Attributions of madness, though, may serve the social function of dismissing and discrediting transgender individual's self-perceptions. The narratives of individuals who stop or reverse an initial gender transition who also identify as living with mental health conditions can sometimes amplify these socio-political discourses about transgender people.
