Shape-Evolution and Growth Mechanism of Fe3O4 Polyhedrons by Liqiao Chen, Qiang Zhou, Qingfeng Xiong, Wenlin Li, Jisong Liu, Xianfeng Yang

“…Using FeCl3·6H2O as the precursor, triangular and hexagonal plates, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and spherical Fe3O4 were obtained by selecting the adequate ration of NaOH, N2H4·H2O, Fe3+, and EDTA. The slow nucleation and growth rate favor the formation of low energy plate-like products, and the spherical crystals are obtained as the result of extremely fast nucleation and growth rate. …”

Pathogenic variants of TUBB8 cause oocyte spindle defects by disrupting with EB1/CAKP5 interactions and potential treatment targeting microtubule acetylation through HDAC6 inhibiti... by Hui Luo, Jianhua Chen, Cao Li, Tian Wu, Siyue Yin, Guangping Yang, Yipin Wang, Zhihan Guo, Saifei Hu, Yanni He, Yingnan Wang, Yao Chen, Youqiang Su, Congxiu Miao, Yun Qian, Ruizhi Feng

“…Methods Using microinjection mRNA and genome engineering to reintroduce the conserved pathogenic missense variants into oocytes or in generating TUBB8 variant knock‐in mouse models, we investigated that the human deleterious variants alter microtubule nucleation and spindle assembly during meiosis. Live‐cell imaging and immunofluorescence were utilised to track the dynamic expression of microtubule plus end‐tracking proteins in vivo and analysed microtubule nucleation or spindle assembly in vitro, respectively. …”
