The uncomfortable science in the womb: How biological experience disrupts surrogacy narratives
Abstract The discourse surrounding surrogacy portrays pregnancy as a temporary process, depicting surrogates as neutral “carriers” whose involvement concludes at birth. This narrative minimizes gestation's biological significance despite evidence of its lasting effects on both women and children.

ABSTRACT This article examines how the reconstruction of Shanidar Z, a 75,000‐year‐old Neanderthal woman discovered in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, became a focal point for digital negotiations of identity, ancestry, and belonging. Drawing on 51 Facebook and YouTube posts and 17,126 associated comments in Kurdish, Arabic and English, the study ...

Nativism, Sons of the Soil and Autochthony: On Internal Migration and the Politics of Belonging
ABSTRACT There is a longstanding and global history of fierce opposition to internal migration across regions. Yet despite the salience of this issue, there is a relative dearth of scholarship on the politics around domestic population movements. This paper critically engages three interrelated concepts in conversation: nativism, sons of the soil and ...

AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs: from transcription factors to auxin effectors
Molecular evolution of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) effector function. Summary Signalling pathways have originated and diversified extensively during evolution. Using AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs) as a model, we examine how a plant signalling system evolved through the co‐option of pre‐existing transcriptional regulators, a principle well established in

microRNA‐mediated control of cell fate specification and patterning in Marchantia polymorpha
The gemma developmental program in Marchantia polymorpha is coordinated by MpMIR166‐mediated repression of MpC3HDZ and auxin homeostasis. Summary MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non‐coding RNA molecules essential for growth and development in eukaryotes. In plants, the master gene DICER‐LIKE 1 (DCL1) catalyzes the biogenesis of miRNAs by processing double‐
