AGE READINGS AND ASSESSMENT IN COASTAL BATOID ELASMOBRANCHS FROM SMALL-SCALE SIZE-SELECTIVE FISHERY: THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA COMPARABILITY IN MULTISPECIFIC ASSEMBLAGES.

The paper develops a method to estimate age and growth parameters of batoid elasmobranchs using vertebral band pairs, showing that body size is a better predictor of age than vertebral size and that Gompertz models outperform Von Bertalanffy models.

β-Catenin associates with a Wnt signaling mRNA network in myeloid cells through canonical RBP binding.

The paper identifies β-catenin-associated mRNAs in myeloid cells through RIP-seq and shows MSI2 interacts with LEF1 mRNA, regulating Wnt signaling and HSPC expansion.

First evidence of in vitro cytotoxic effects of marine microlitter on Merluccius merluccius and Mullus barbatus, two Mediterranean commercial fish species

This study investigates the cytotoxic effects of marine microlitter on splenic cells of two Mediterranean fish species, finding significant viability reduction in exposed cells.

Cdc42 reactivation at growth sites is regulated by local cell-cycle-dependent loss of its GAP Rga4

The paper shows that Cdc42 reactivation at growth sites in fission yeast is controlled by the cell-cycle-dependent loss of its GAP Rga4.

Global transcriptome analysis reveals circadian control of splicing events in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper identifies circadian regulated splicing events in Arabidopsis thaliana using RNA-seq and bioinformatics tools, revealing the circadian clock's control over post-transcriptional processes.

Increased association between Epstein-Barr virus EBNA2 from type 2 strains and the transcriptional repressor BS69 restricts B cell growth

This study identifies a third BS69 binding motif in type 2 EBNA2 that restricts B cell growth by enhancing EBNA2-BS69 interaction, explaining reduced transformation efficiency of type 2 EBV.

Old fibroblasts secrete inflammatory cytokines that drive variability in reprogramming efficiency and may affect wound healing between old individuals

This study shows that old fibroblasts secrete inflammatory cytokines, leading to variability in reprogramming efficiency and affecting wound healing in older individuals.
