ESCRT-III Proteins Protect DNA Bridges to Safeguard Genome Stability

Researchers Reveal How Fruit Fly Embryos Establish Germline Cell Boundaries

Researchers at King’s, the University of Utah, and Altos Labs have discovered that ESCRT-III proteins form a protective coating around DNA bridges during cell division, safeguarding genome stability. Published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, the findings reveal an unexpected function for proteins traditionally known for helping cells reshape and repair membranes. During standard cell … Read more
