Open AccessUnderstanding how junction resistances impact the conduction mechanism in nano-networks
Networks of nanowires, nanotubes, and nanosheets are important for many applications in printed electronics. However, the network conductivity and mobility are usually limited by the resistance between the par...

Open AccessSmc5/6’s multifaceted DNA binding capacities stabilize branched DNA structures
Smc5/6 is an evolutionarily conserved SMC complex with roles in DNA replication and repair, as well as in viral DNA restriction. Understanding its multiple functions has been hampered by a lack of mechanistic ...

Open AccessNucleosome-directed replication origin licensing independent of a consensus DNA sequence
The numerous enzymes and cofactors involved in eukaryotic DNA replication are conserved from yeast to human, and the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S.c.) has been a useful model organism for these studie...

Open AccessChromatin sequesters pioneer transcription factor Sox2 from exerting force on DNA
Biomolecular condensation constitutes an emerging mechanism for transcriptional regulation. Recent studies suggest that the co-condensation between transcription factors (TFs) and DNA can generate mechanical f...

Open AccessA gland-sparing, intraoral sialolithotomy approach for hilar and intraparenchymal multiple stones in the submandibular gland
Multiple intraglandular sialolithiasis for stones deep in the glandular parenchyma may require submandibulectomies, especially if sialendoscopic facilities are unavailable. We describe a gland-sparing intraora...

Open AccessReversible histone glycation is associated with disease-related changes in chromatin architecture
Cellular proteins continuously undergo non-enzymatic covalent modifications (NECMs) that accumulate under normal physiological conditions and are stimulated by changes in the cellular microenvironment. Glycati...
