The synaptonemal complex(SC)is a meiosis-specific proteinaceous macromolecular structure that assembles between paired homologous chromosomes during meiosis in various eukaryotes.The SC has a highly conserved ultrastructure and plays critical roles in controlling multiple steps in meiotic recombination and crossover formation,ensuring accurate meiotic chromosome segregation.Recent studies in different organisms,facilitated by advances in super-resolution microscopy,have provided insights into the macromolecular structure of the SC,including the internal organization of the meiotic chromosome axis and SC central region,the regulatory pathways that control SC assembly and dynamics,and the biological functions exerted by the SC and its substructures.This review summarizes recent discoveries about how the SC is organized and regulated that help to explain the biological functions associated with this meiosis-specific structure.

骨细胞是骨组织主要的力学感受及转导细胞,它们通过众多突触结构相互连接,形成庞大的骨稳态细胞调控网络,联系着成骨细胞、破骨细胞等骨基质表面细胞.骨细胞通过旁分泌途径影响成骨细胞骨形成和破骨细胞骨吸收来调节骨代谢,维持骨更新.针对骨细胞在受到力学刺激后分泌或释放的一些信号分子或蛋白因子对成骨细胞和破骨细胞生长分化的影响,本文综述近年来关于受力学刺激的骨细胞如何与成骨/破骨细胞进行通讯,为骨细胞生物力学研究提供新思路.
Meiosis is an essential step in gametogenesis which is the key process in sexually reproducing organisms as meiotic aberrations may result in infertility.In meiosis,programmed DNA double-strand break(DSB)formation is one of the fundamental processes that
钛质网笼作为颈前路椎体次全切除减压融合术(anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion,ACCF)中使用的融合器之一,不仅能够在术中即刻重建颈椎稳定性、维持椎间高度及生理曲度,而且可以避免自体取骨造成供骨区并发症的问题,故成为ACCF术中较为常用的内植物.但传统钛笼多存在应力遮挡、钛笼下沉等问题,在一定程度上影响了手术效果,甚至导致严重术后并发症,需要行翻修手术.目前已有多种新型钛笼问世,一定程度上解决了传统钛笼带来的问题.生物力学评价及其测试方法是评判一款新型脊柱融合器
Male meiosis is a complex process whereby spermatocytes undergo cell division to form haploid cells.This review focuses on the role of retinoic acid(RA)in meiosis,as well as several processes regulated by RA before cell entry into meiosis that are critica
Repairing DNA double-strand breaks(DSBs)with homologous chromosomes as templates is the hallmark of meiosis.The critical outcome of meiotic homologous recombination is crossovers,which ensure faithful chromosome segregation and promote genetic diversity o
Programmed DNA double-strand breaks(DSBs)are necessary for meiosis in mammals.A sufficient number of DSBs ensure the normal pairing/synapsis of homologous chromosomes.Abnormal DSB repair undermines meiosis,leading to sterility in mammals.The DSBs that ini
