Primary data for "A role for the carbon source of the cell and protein kinase A in regulating the S. pombe septation initiation network"

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp, Bastien Mangeat, Özge Uysal Özdemir

The Septation Initiation Network (SIN) is a conserved signal transduction network, which is important for cytokinesis in S. pombe. The SIN component Etd1p is required for association of some SIN proteins with the spindle pole body (SPB) during anaphase and ...

Design of New Low-Carbon Floor Systems by Reusing Cut Cast-in-Place Concrete Pieces

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Célia Marine Küpfer, Numa Joy Bertola

As floors typically account for the largest share of a building embodied carbon footprint, new strategies to build low-carbon floors must be developed and implemented. Among these strategies, the reuse of existing components is a promising circular approac ...
