Excited to share our new preprint on @biorxivpreprint! We show that USP28 mutations found in cancer block its interaction with 53BP1, disrupting p53 stabilization. Check out the full story... @Midori_RuruOta www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out our review on "PLK4: Master Regulator of Centriole Duplication and Its Therapeutic Potential". Everything you need to know about centriole duplication, mitotic stopwatch and TRIM37-mediated cancer-specific vulnerabilities. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We wish you Happy Holidays from Okinawa!

A prolonged mitosis is characteristic of defects that drive genome instability. What are the underlying causes and broader implications of prolonged mitosis? Check out our review... authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Interested in Base Editing and Genetic Screening? Check out our method chapter: link.springer.com/protocol/10.... Esther Ng did an excellent job developing these methods in our lab. The constructs will soon be available on @addgene.bsky.social Many thanks to OIST for supporting open access!
