The pattern of terminal mitosis in mouse otocyst observed by Ruben led him to postulate the existence of a growth zone at the junction of saccular and cochlear primordia. With the use of colchicine, an antimitotic drug, a localized zone of mitotic activity has been demonstrated at this predicted site.

Replication-Poison Treatment in BRCA1-Deficient Breast Cancer Causes MRE11 Over-Resection that Induces Single-Stranded DNA Accumulation and Mitotic Catastrophe.

BRCA1 deficiency is observed in approximately 25% of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). BRCA1, a key player of homologous recombination (HR) repair, is also involved in stalled DNA replication fork protection and repair. Here, we investigated the sensitivity of BRCA1-deficient TNBC models to the frequently used replication chain terminator gemcitabine, which does not directly induce DNA breaks.

Background: The aging of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) impairs bone tissue regeneration, contributing to skeletal disorders. LncRNA NEAT1 is considered as a proliferative inhibitory role during cellular senescence, but the relevant mechanisms remain insufficient. This study aims to elucidate how NEAT1 regulates mitotic proteins during BMSCs aging.

Intratumour hypoxia is a feature of all heterogenous solid tumours. Increased levels or subregions of tumour hypoxia are associated with an adverse clinical prognosis, particularly when this co-occurs with genomic instability. Experimental evidence points to the acquisition of DNA and chromosomal alterations in proliferating hypoxic cells secondary to inhibition of DNA repair pathways such as homologous recombination, base excision repair and mismatch repair.

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is an endometriosis-related neoplasm, in which traditional histologic grading does not show prognostic significance. Tumor budding was associated with poorer outcomes in OCCC in previous studies. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of tumor budding in OCCC in an independent cohort.

Its activity depends on dynein-dynactin-cargo adaptor complexes, such as dynein-dynactin-BicD2 (DDB), which typically function with two dynein motors. We show that mechanical tension recruits a third dynein motor via an auxiliary BicD adaptor binding the light intermediate chain of the third dynein, stabilizing multi-dynein assemblies and enhancing force generation.
