Rapid formation of a supramolecular polypeptide-DNA Hydrogel for in situ three-dimensional multilayer bioprinting
Chuang Li,Alan Faulkner-Jones,Alison R. Dun,Juan Jin,Ping Chen,Yongzheng Xing,Zhongqiang Yang,Zhibo Li,Wenmiao Shu,Dongsheng Liu,Rory R. Duncan +10 more
TL;DR: 3D cell printing was demonstrated to fabricate live-cell-containing structures with normal cellular functions and the hydrogel becomes an ideal biomaterial for 3D bioprinting to produce designable 3D constructs for applications in tissue engineering.
SAF-A Regulates Interphase Chromosome Structure through Oligomerization with Chromatin-Associated RNAs
Ryu Suke Nozawa,Lora Boteva,Dinesh C. Soares,Catherine Naughton,Alison R. Dun,Adam Buckle,Bernard Ramsahoye,Peter C. Bruton,Rebecca Sonia Saleeb,Maria Arnedo,Bill Hill,Rory R. Duncan,Sutherland K. Maciver,Nick Gilbert +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that SAF-A and caRNAs form a dynamic, transcriptionally responsive chromatin mesh that organizes large-scale chromosome structures and protects the genome from instability.

TL;DR: By disrupting plasma membrane lipid order, it is found that all of the t-SNARE clusters now adopted a single conformational state corresponding to the three helical t- SNARE intermediates.

The t-SNARE complex: a close up.
TL;DR: This work reported the presence of both partially and fully zippered t-SNARE complex at the plasma membrane in agreement with the earlier in vitro findings, and revealed a spatial segregation into distinct clusters containing predominantly one conformation apparently patterned by the surrounding lipid environment.
