Dynamic co-evolution of transposable elements and the piRNA pathway in African cichlid fishes

The paper investigates the dynamic co-evolution of transposable elements and the piRNA pathway in African cichlid fishes, revealing expanded piwil1 genes and divergent piRNA-producing loci.

Cell therapy with human iPSC-derived cardiomyocyte aggregates leads to efficient engraftment and functional recovery after myocardial infarction in non-human primates

This study transplants human iPSC-derived cardiomyocyte aggregates into non-human primates with myocardial infarction, showing efficient engraftment and functional recovery with lower cell doses than previous single-cell approaches.

Evidence that the Isc Iron-Sulfur Cluster Biogenesis Machinery Delivers Iron for -Cofactor Biosynthesis in Escherichia coli

The paper identifies the Isc machinery as the source of iron for the Fe(CN)2CO group in [NiFe]-hydrogenases in E. coli, while the Suf machinery can deliver the [4Fe-4S] cluster to HypD.

Increased prostaglandin-D2 in male but not female STAT3-deficient hearts shifts cardiac progenitor cells from endothelial to white adipocyte differentiation

This study shows that male STAT3-deficient hearts have increased PGD2 secretion, leading to epigenetic changes in cardiac progenitor cells that shift their differentiation from endothelial to white adipocyte.

Exploring multiple sensory systems in ovipositors of Drosophila suzukii and related species with different egg-laying behaviour

This study investigates the sensory systems in the ovipositor of Drosophila suzukii and related species, finding shared and specific sensory receptor expression across species.

Evolutionary compromises to environmental toxins: ammonia and urea tolerance in Drosophila suzukii and Drosophila melanogaster.

This study compares ammonia and urea tolerance between Drosophila suzukii and Drosophila melanogaster, finding D. suzukii more sensitive to these compounds due to less efficient detoxification mechanisms.
