A numerical method for generating dynamic stall using ANSYS Fluent and a user-defined function (UDF), with the complete script shared for reference, is introduced and tested. The study draws inspiration from bird flight, exploring dynamic stall as a method for achieving enhanced aerodynamic performance. The numerical method was tested on NACA 0012 airfoils with corresponding chord lengths of c1=40 mm, c2=150 mm, and c3=300 mm at Reynolds numbers ranging from Re1=2.8×104 up to Re5=1.04×106. Airfoil oscillations were settled for all cases at ω=0.55 Hz. Detached eddy simulation (DES) is employed as the turbulence model for the simulations presented, ensuring the accurate representation of the flow characteristics and dynamic stall phenomena. The study provides a detailed methodology, encouraging further exploration by researchers, especially young academics and students.

How specific enhancer-promoter pairing is established remains mostly unclear. Besides the CTCF/cohesin machinery, few nuclear factors have been studied for a direct role in physically connecting regulatory elements. Using a murine erythroid cell model, we show via acute degradation experiments that LDB1 directly and broadly promotes connectivity among regulatory elements.

Most of the microbes in nature infrequently receive nutrients and are thus in slow- or non-growing states. How quickly they can resume their growth upon an influx of new resources is crucial to occupy environmental niches. Isogenic microbial populations are known to harbor only a fraction of cells with rapid growth resumption, yet little is known about the physiological characteristics of those cells and their emergence in the population.

Stress granules (SGs) are membraneless cytoplasmic compartments that form in response to stress stimuli. In these compartments, most translation factors stall, except for activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), which is preferentially translated to ensure cell survival under stressful conditions. Cancer cells encounter various stress conditions in the tumor microenvironment during tumorigenesis; however, how they exploit the pro-survival effects of ATF4 in SGs remains unclear.

Stalled replication forks, susceptible to nucleolytic threats, necessitate protective mechanisms involving pivotal factors such as the tumor suppressors BRCA1 and BRCA2. Here, we demonstrate that, upon replication stress, RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is recruited to stalled forks, actively promoting the transient formation of RNA-DNA hybrids. These hybrids act as safeguards, preventing premature engagement by the DNA2 nuclease and uncontrolled DNA2-mediated degradation of nascent DNA.

Viral DNA packaging is a required step in the assembly of many dsDNA viruses. A molecular motor fueled by ATP hydrolysis packages the viral genome to near crystalline density inside a pre-formed prohead shell in ~5 min at room temperature in vitro. We describe procedures for measuring the packaging of single DNA molecules into single viral proheads with optical tweezers.
