Regional variation in the rural-urban fertility gradient in the developing world

Mathias Lerch

The study of regional trends in the rural-urban fertility gradient helps us to understand the pace of completion of the fertility transition and the geography of urban growth in the global South. We question whether the hypothesized inverted U-shaped evolu ...

The Caenorhabditis elegans protein SAS-5 forms large oligomeric assemblies critical for centriole formation

Pierre Gönczy, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Nicola Jane Dynes, Sheng Kai Pong

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles crucial for cell division, sensing and motility. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the onset of centriole formation requires notably the proteins SAS-5 and SAS-6, which have functional equivalents across eukaryotic evol ...
