The transcription factor NF-Y promotes myeloid cell survival and protects from inflammatory vascular disease

Abstract Background Myeloid cells orchestrate vascular inflammation through transcriptional programs that regulate their maturation, effector function, and survival. While lineage-determining transcription factors establish myeloid identity, understanding of the transcriptional r...

Timing the origin: chromatin, transcription, and the spatiotemporal control of eukaryotic DNA replication

Abstract The eukaryotic genome is replicated according to a tightly regulated temporal program that ensures each DNA segment is copied once per cell cycle. This program reflects the coordinated action of replication origin licensing, chromatin state, transcriptional activity, and...
