Terminating the replication helicase
Nature Cell Biology 19, 410 (2017). doi:10.1038/ncb3519 Authors: Vincent Gaggioli & Philip Zegerman A feature of the cell cycle is that the events of one cycle must be reset before the next one begins. A study now shows that the replication machinery is removed from fully replicated DNA by a conserved ubiquitin- and CDC48 (also known as p97)-dependent pathway. This explains how eukaryotic chromosomes are returned to the unreplicated state. (Source: Nature Cell Biology)

Science in the age of Trump
Nature Cell Biology 19, 409 (2017). doi:10.1038/ncb3526 The steep cuts in science funding proposed in the 2018 US budget blueprint have raised alarm in scientific quarters, and signal the current administration's disregard for the significance of science and research in modern society.

Microbial metabolites regulate host lipid metabolism through NR5A – Hedgehog signalling
Nature Cell Biology 19, 550 (2017). doi:10.1038/ncb3515 Authors: Chih-Chun Janet Lin & Meng C. Wang Microorganisms and their hosts share the same environment, and microbial metabolic molecules (metabolites) exert crucial effects on host physiology. Environmental factors not only shape the composition of the host’s resident microorganisms, but also modulate their metabolism. However, the exact molecular relationship among the environment, microbial metabolites and host metabolism remains largely unknown. Here, we discovered that environmental methionine tunes bacterial methyl metabolism to regulate host mi...

A three-dimensional model of human lung development and disease from pluripotent stem cells
We report here the generation from hPSCs of lung bud organoids (LBOs) that contain mesoderm and pulmonary endoderm and develop into branching airway and early alveolar structures after xenotransplantation and in Matrigel 3D culture. Expression analysis and structural features indicated that the branching structures reached the second trimester of human gestation. Infection in vitro with respiratory syncytial virus, which causes small airway obstruction and bronchiolitis in infants, led to swelling, detachment and shedding of infected cells into the organoid lumens, similar to what has been observed in human lungs. Introduc...

When cancer needs what's non-essential
Nature Cell Biology 19, 418 (2017). doi:10.1038/ncb3523 Authors: Mark R. Sullivan & Matthew G. Vander Heiden The non-essential amino acids serine and glycine are critical for proliferative metabolism. A study in Nature now finds that dietary serine and glycine deprivation inhibits growth of some tumours. Whether this dietary intervention is effective depends on both the oncogenic context and tumour tissue of origin. (Source: Nature Cell Biology)
