New Tools for JCB
نویسندگان
چکیده
New technologies and approaches in cell biology research necessitate new venues for information sharing and publication. JCB continues its support of innovation in publishing with the launch of Tools, a new article type for the description of methods and high-throughput datasets, and of a new interface for the JCB DataViewer for hosting high-content screening datasets in their entirety.

Bringing Rad52 foci into focus
The Rad52 protein has pivotal functions in double strand break repair and homologous recombination. The activity of Rad52 is often monitored by the subnuclear foci that it forms spontaneously in S phase or after DNA damage (Lisby et al., 2001). In mammals, the functions of yeast Rad52 may be divided between human RAD52 and the tumor suppressor BRCA2 (Feng et al., 2011). The full host of molecul...
متن کاملJump-starting life? Fundamental aspects of synthetic biology
What is life and how could it originate? This question lies at the core of understanding the cell as the smallest living unit. Although we are witnessing a golden era of the life sciences, we are ironically still far from giving a convincing answer to this question. In this short article, I argue why synthetic biology in conjunction with the quantitative sciences may provide us with new concept...
متن کاملImaging cell biology in live animals: Ready for prime time
Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy is one of the main tools used to image subcellular structures in living cells. Yet for decades it has been applied primarily to in vitro model systems. Thanks to the most recent advancements in intravital microscopy, this approach has finally been extended to live rodents. This represents a major breakthrough that will provide unprecedented new opportunities t...
متن کاملInterrogating cellular perception and decision making with optogenetic tools
Optogenetics promises to deepen our understanding of how cells perceive and respond to complex and dynamic signals and how this perception regulates normal and abnormal function. In this study, we present our vision for how these nascent tools may transform our view of fundamental cell biological processes.
متن کاملAutomated microscopy for high-content RNAi screening
Fluorescence microscopy is one of the most powerful tools to investigate complex cellular processes such as cell division, cell motility, or intracellular trafficking. The availability of RNA interference (RNAi) technology and automated microscopy has opened the possibility to perform cellular imaging in functional genomics and other large-scale applications. Although imaging often dramatically...
