For decades, human genome editing has been limited to small, localized modifications. Today, in a new paper published in
@science.org
, researchers from Arc's Hsu lab show that bridge recombinase technology is capable of large-scale genomic rearrangements in human cells.

Excited to share our new @NatureComms paper! We developed C-604, a selective inhibitor of Greatwall kinase, and discovered that cancer cells' sensitivity to it depends on a simple ratio: B55α/Greatwall expression levels.

A redox switch in p21-CDK feedback during G2 phase controls the proliferation-cell cycle exit decision
ROS oxidize cell cycle proteins and regulate cell proliferation. Vorhauser et al. show that oxidation of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p21 at cysteine 41 (C41) during the G2 phase controls its stability. Loss of C41 oxidation increases p21 stability, impairs proliferation, and promotes senescence after irradiation.

Snoozing APC/C for a sweet cell cycle entry
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 21 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41580-025-00891-8Paul et al. demonstrate that entry into the cell cycle from quiescence involves a transient, partial inactivation of the APC/C ubiquitin ligase, which halts the degradation of glycolysis enzymes and ensures sufficient ATP production for cell division.
