Investigating the role of mitochondrial membrane potential in paternal inheritance of mitochondria

This study examines how mitochondrial membrane potential in sperm responds to egg signals in bivalves with different mitochondrial inheritance patterns, finding increased potential in DUI paternal mitochondria.

In vitro proliferation of Mytilus edulis male germ cell progenitors

The paper establishes in vitro culture conditions for male germ cell progenitors from the marine mussel Mytilus edulis, showing that DDX4-positive cells from male mantle tissue proliferate efficiently.

Mitochondrial metabolism and body condition of naturally infected sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus)

The paper examines how mitochondrial enzyme activity relates to body condition and parasite infection in sunfish, finding that cytochrome C oxidase activity in hearts correlates with lower body condition.

Evolutionary trajectories are contingent on mitonuclear interactions

This study shows that mitonuclear interactions shape evolutionary divergence in yeast populations with identical nuclear genotypes under different environmental pressures.

Global phylogeography of marine Synechococcus in coastal areas reveals strikingly different communities than in the open ocean

The paper analyzes global coastal Synechococcus communities using metagenomic data, revealing distinct community structures and niche partitioning compared to open-ocean environments.

Discordant population structure inferred from male- and female-type mtDNAs from Macoma balthica, a bivalve species characterized by doubly uniparental inheritance of mitochondria

The paper compares genetic structure of male- and female-type mtDNA in Macoma balthica to assess phylogeographic differences and mito-nuclear interactions.

Targeting the chemokine receptor CXCR4 with histamine analogue to reduce inflammation in juvenile arthritis: a proof of concept for COVID-19 therapeutic approach

This study shows that targeting CXCR4 with clobenpropit reduces inflammation in juvenile arthritis and COVID-19 by lowering cytokine levels and immune cell activity.

Transcriptomes of major renal collecting-duct cell types in mouse identified by single-cell RNA-Seq

The paper identifies transcriptomes of major renal collecting-duct cell types in mice using single-cell RNA-Seq and creates an online gene-expression database.
