DNA Bends the Knee to Transcription Factors
During gene expression, multiprotein-DNA complexes are formed to regulate transcription. Binding of transcription factors can locally deform DNA, for example, by bending its helical axis. Dimers or oligomers of transcription factors may interact with DNA at multiple sites and determine the bending angle collectively.

Inherent feminizing effect of germ cells: New insights into sex determination
Identification of cells that determine the female gender in teleost fish (medaka). The pink circles represent germ cells (the common origin of sperm and eggs). Germ cells, irrespective of the sexual fate (to become sperm or eggs), have the potential to feminize the body in medaka. The pink arrows indicate the feminizing effect from germ cell.

The Secret to Sperm’s Sexy Swimming
Human sperm cells get an extra oomph forward as they swim, thanks to interconnected elastic springs in their tails that communicate with other regions of the tail, a new study finds. These elastic springs transmit mechanical information to the distant parts of the tail, helping it bend as it wriggles its way toward an egg, the researchers said.

Gut Microbes Could Play a Role in Heart Disease Too
Research has shown that having the right gut microbes can reduce the risk of heart disease – if you’re a mouse. Now, our latest study, published in the European Heart Journal, shows that this might be true for humans, too.
