... H3K27me3. However, we still do not fully understand what defines Polycomb targets, how their expression state is switched from epigenetically ON to OFF and how silencing is subsequently maintained through many cell divisions. An excellent system in which to dissect the sequence of events underlying...

It has been known for some time that store-operated Ca 2+ entry is shut down during cell division. Recent work has revealed complex...
