Biology The Unkempt RNA-binding protein reveals a local translation program in centriole overduplication Excess centrosomes cause defects in mitosis, cell-signaling, and cell migration, and therefore their assembly is tightly regulated. The divergent Polo kinase, PLK4, controls centriole duplication at the heart of centrosome assembly, and elevated PLK4 levels promote centrosome amplification (CA), a founding event of tumorigenesis. Here, we investigate the transcriptional consequences of elevated PLK4 and find […] Written by Admin July 24, 2025July 24, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Environmental Science Right to repair ‘would reduce inequality’ The UK has the second highest level of e-waste per person in the world, and the UK’s material footprint is over twice the sustainable limit identified by the UN. However, if the UK could reverse its consumption habits and create a circular economy, it would benefit not only the environment, but also bring a £25 […] Written by Catherine Early July 24, 2025July 24, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
