NY medical schools press Gov. Hochul to put up billions for scientific research
The request comes amid continuing uncertainty over federal funding, with research and thousands of jobs on the line.

How do replisomes walk on DNA? And what happens when they run into a G-quadruplex? @sahilbatra.bsky.social and @benallwein.bsky.social provide unexpected insight in our latest paper with Richard Hite @mskcancercenter.bsky.social @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... Congrats to all authors!

G-quadruplex–stalled eukaryotic replisome structure reveals helical inchworm DNA translocation
DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non–B-form DNA secondary structures that threaten genome stability by impeding DNA replication. To elucidate how G4s induce replication fork arrest, we characterized fork ...

Splenic TNF-α signaling potentiates the innate-to-adaptive transition of antiviral NK cells
NK cells possess innate and adaptive features, but unlike T and B cells, NK cells are not thought to require priming in lymphoid organs. Mujal et al. demonstrate that the spleen supports enhanced expa...

Specific tRNAs promote mRNA decay by recruiting the CCR4-NOT complex to translating ribosomes
The CCR4-NOT complex is a major regulator of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) stability. Slow decoding during translation promotes association of CCR4-NOT with ribosomes, accelerating mRNA degradation....
