Sperm-contributed centrioles segregate stochastically into blastomeres of 4-cell stage Caenorhabditis elegans embryos
Pierre Gönczy, Fernando Romero Balestra
Whereas both sperm and egg contribute nuclear genetic material to the zygote in metazoan organisms, the inheritance of other cellular constituents is unequal between the 2 gametes. Thus, 2 copies of the centriole are contributed solely by the sperm to the ...
GENETICS SOCIETY AMERICA2023Extensive programmed centriole elimination unveiled in C. elegans embryos
Centrioles are critical for fundamental cellular processes, including signaling, motility, and division. The extent to which centrioles are present after cell cycle exit in a developing organism is not known. The stereotypical lineage of Caenorhabditis ele ...
AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE2023Human reproduction is regulated by retrotransposons derived from ancient Hominidae-specific viral infections
Didier Trono, Julien Paul André Pontis, Yu Tao
The transcription factor network required for primordial germ cell (PGC) specification is known to diverge in mammals. Here the authors show that hominidae-specific transposable element (TE) LTR5Hs becomes transcriptionally active during PGC specification, ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Challenges and Opportunities of Edge AI for Next-Generation Implantable BMIs
Mahsa Shoaran, Mohammad Ali Shaeri, Arshia Afzal
Neuroscience and neurotechnology are currently being revolutionized by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. AI is widely used to study and interpret neural signals (analytical applications), assist people with disabilities (prosthetic applica ...
IEEE2022The effects of previous summer drought and fertilization on winter non-structural carbon reserves and spring leaf development of downy oak saplings
Xiaoyu Wang, Yue Yang, Peng He
It is still unknown whether the previous summer season drought and fertilization will affect the winter non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) reserves, spring leaf development, and mortality of trees in the next year. We, therefore, conducted an experiment wit ...

LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS2021KRAB zinc finger protein-mediated control of transposon-embedded regulatory sequences from human germline to early embryos
Transposable elements (TEs), also called jumping genes, are genetic elements capable of changing their position within the genome of their host. They make up large fractions of genomes, including 45% of human DNA content, according to current estimates.

EPFL2021Altered orbitofrontal activation in preterm-born young adolescents during performance of a reality filtering task
Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Vanessa Siffredi
Preterm birth is one of the main causes for neurodevelopmental problems, and has been associated with a wide range of impairments in cognitive functions including executive functions and memory. One of the factors contributing to these adverse outcomes is ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2021The Emergence and Diffusion of Birth Limitation in Urban Areas of Developing Countries
The rising heterogeneity of women in terms of family size over the course of the fertilitytransition challenges the classic hypothesis about the diffusion of birth limiting behaviors acrossparities, known as family limitation. We evaluate whether birth lim ...
Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research2020Alternative Scenarios for the Development of Oil Palm in the Tropics: Carbon and Nutrients Dynamics
Expansion of agriculture in forested areas poses significant threats and pressure to ecosystems and potentially the global climate. More specifically, expansion of oil palm (OP) plantations has been found to exert great impact on key ecosystem functions li ...
