Haploid cells, which contain one copy of each chromosome, should not undergo further reduction of their chromosome number (through a type of cell division called meiosis). To prevent such a catastrophic event, haploids block the production of a protein called IME4, which triggers meiosis, by expressing antisense IME4. Failure to block sense IME4 results in the aberrant meiotic events shown above i...

The building blocks of healthy collagen, above, begin with one-nanometer-sized amino acids, which form the universal 300-nanometer tropocollagen strands. Fibrils composed of those strands, in turn, make up the steel-cable-like collagen fibers.
