Re-reading the Danish intelligence report from February 2025, which, I think, is the least conservative assessment of Russian reconstitution timelines & capability among all the published views from European intelligence services in the past year.

Thrilled to share our lab's first preprint, led by an exceptional PhD student Gita Chhetri and with the support of wonderful collaborators, we find that replisome function is rate-limited by strand-specific PCNA dynamics. Hope you will enjoy reading.

Brief teaser:
PAF15-PCNA assembly exhaustion governs lagging strand replication and replisome integrity
Genome replication in eukaryotic cells is surveyed by the S-phase checkpoint, which orchestrates sequential replication origin activation to avoid exhaustion of hitherto poorly defined rate-limiting r...

Happy to post a new study on BioRxiv, where we show Integrated Stress Response activation as an off-target effect of multiple clinically evaluated WEE1 inhibitors. Team effort with the lab of Dan Durocher @durocher1.bsky.social and many others. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
WEE1 inhibitors trigger GCN2-mediated activation of the integrated stress response
The WEE1 kinase negatively regulates CDK1/2 to control DNA replication and mitotic entry. Genetic factors that determine sensitivity to WEE1 inhibitors (WEE1i) are largely unknown. A genome-wide inser...

Anyone can provide Ukraine with more drones. For example via these two Czech sites:

Or you can just helplessly watch what's happening there. Retweets help for sure.

It feels a little bit postclimactic to post this now, after the first version of our paper hit bioRxiv when X was still a thing that people used, the revised version was formally accepted at Cell Community past November. But here is the final print version of our paper
