DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are posing serious threats to genome stability. During mitosis, cells mainly rely on polymerase theta (Polθ) -mediated repair to fix these breaks. However, how the CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex regulates this process remains unclear.

Stem cells possess the unique ability to self-renew and transform into different types of cells. For example, rare hematopoietic stem cells found in bone marrow can become any type of blood cell. Throughout life, they can produce new blood cells to replace those lost because of infection, bleeding, or chemotherapy. However, as people and animals age, hematopoietic stem cells become less effective.

Pertussis, or whooping cough, continues to cause periodic outbreaks worldwide and can be especially dangerous for infants who have not completed vaccination. Yet conventional surveillance depends on people seeking medical care, being tested, diagnosed, and reported, which can delay recognition of changes in community transmission.
