TDP2-dependent non-homologous end-joining protects against topoisomerase II-induced DNA breaks and genome instability in cells and in vivo. by Fernando Gómez-Herreros, Rocío Romero-Granados, Zhihong Zeng, Alejandro Alvarez-Quilón, Cristina Quintero, Limei Ju, Lieve Umans, Liesbeth Vermeire, Danny Huylebroeck, Keith W Caldecott, Felipe Cortés-Ledesma

“…Moreover, we show that the absence of TDP2 in cells impairs not only the capacity to repair TOP2-induced DSBs but also the accuracy of the process, thus compromising genome integrity. Most importantly, we find this TDP2-dependent NHEJ mechanism to be physiologically relevant, as Tdp2-deleted mice are sensitive to TOP2-induced damage, displaying marked lymphoid toxicity, severe intestinal damage, and increased genome instability in the bone marrow. …”

Design of a Full-Directional and Light-Weight Electric Vibrator by Baochao Wang, Chenyuan Lu, Qingtao Zong, Dongwei Wang, Alim Pulatov, Shuqi Shang

“…Vibrators are widely used in agriculture, such as for vibrating trees to harvest fruits and nuts, or for vibrating screens to separate different materials (e.g. plants and soil or grain and debris) in the harvesting process. Traditional vibrators are bulky and configured with fixed mechanical transmission, so they cannot be precisely controlled and cannot adapt to different conditions, causing negative effects such as ineffective vibration or damaging tree barks. …”
