Zebra stripes: the questions raised by the answers

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2660-2680, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Multiple hypotheses have been suggested to explain why the three zebra species (Equus quagga, E. grevyi and E. zebra) are striped. We review how well these theories explain the nature (rather than simply the existence) of the stripes. Specifically, we explore how well different theories explain (i) the form of zebra stripes (especially on ...

Arthropod ectoparasites of synanthropic rodents in northern‐central Italy

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 787-793, December 2025.
The presence of ectoparasites in synanthropic rodents in various Italian provinces was investigated. Eighty‐one Rattus norvegicus, 49 Rattus rattus and 10 Mus musculus were examined Polyplax spinulosa lice, Myobiidae mites, Laelaps echidninus and Notoedres muris were mainly recovered.

On the politics of movement: Borderscapes, choreopolicing and choreopolitics

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 50, Issue 4, December 2025.
Short Abstract The paper introduces choreography as a novel tool of analysis for investigating how movement shapes and is shaped by the apparatus of territorial security. It examines how dance choreography can intervene in security imperatives and enact embodied transgression.

Cytomegalovirus infection is common in prostate cancer and antiviral therapies inhibit progression in disease models

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, Volume 19, Issue 11, Page 3035-3059, November 2025.
Human cytomegalovirus infection is common in normal prostate epithelium, prostate tumor tissue, and prostate cancer cell lines. CMV promotes cell survival, proliferation, and androgen receptor signaling. Anti‐CMV pharmaceutical compounds in clinical use inhibited cell expansion in prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo, motivating investigation ...

Exploring the role of cyclin D1 in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma beyond cell cycle regulation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, Volume 19, Issue 11, Page 3175-3192, November 2025.
Cyclin D1 overexpression altered the cell adhesion pathway, while cyclin D2 upregulation had less impact on pathway enrichment analysis. Multiple myeloma (MM) patients with cyclin D1 overexpression showed reduced CD56 expression and increased circulating tumor cells (CTC) levels, suggesting that cyclin D1 may contribute to MM cell dissemination ...

EEG Correlates of the Influence of Somatosensory Input, Expectations and Trait‐Like Bias on Pain Perception

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pain, Volume 29, Issue 10, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The weighting of somatosensory input and pain expectation during pain perception is promising for pain phenotyping, with good test–retest reliability. Yet, their concurrent validity with neural and psychological variables requires further investigation.

Akebia Saponin D Targeting Ubiquitin Carboxyl‐Terminal Hydrolase 4 Promotes Peroxisome Proliferator‐Activated Receptor Gamma Deubiquitination and Activation of Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis in Obesity

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
ASD, a natural plant product screened from small molecule compound library, is an antiobesity agent in mice. ASD promotes BAT thermogenesis to inhibit body weight gain. USP4 was identified and validated as a direct molecular target of ASD. ASD‐induced thermogenesis is modulated by a USP4–PPARγ–UCP1 axis.
