    Pan-tissue transcriptome analysis reveals sex-dimorphic human aging

    Siqi Wang, Danyue Dong ... Zefeng Wang
    Widespread sex-dimorphic transcriptomic changes during human aging in pan-tissues scale reveal distinct molecular aging trajectories and potential links to age-related disease vulnerability.

    Genome organization by SATB1 binding to base-unpairing regions (BURs) provides a scaffold for SATB1-regulated gene expression

    Yoshinori Kohwi, Xianrong Wong ... Terumi Kohwi-Shigematsu
    Modified ChIP-seq and 4C-seq approaches, using urea-purified crosslinked chromatin, uncovered a two-tiered chromatin organization mediated by SATB1 that is linked to gene expression.

    Nuclear and cytosolic J-domain proteins provide synergistic control of Hsf1 at distinct phases of the heat shock response

    Carmen Ruger-Herreros, Lucia Svoboda ... Bernd Bukau
    The nuclear J-domain protein Apj1 controls the shut-off phase of the yeast heat shock response by displacing DNA-bound heat shock transcription factor Hsf1.
