Synthetic Cells on Demand: From Molecular Stimuli to Cellular Functions
ABSTRACT Synthetic cells constructed via bottom‐up approaches using lipid or polymer vesicles have become essential tools for mimicking cellular functions and studying synthetic biological systems. These vesicles can undergo morphological changes and trigger internal reactions in response to external stimuli, such as osmotic pressure, temperature, pH ...

Effect of cadmium chloride on general body colouration and chromatophores of stinging cat fish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch) [PDF]
Chromatophores, specialized pigment cells in poikilothermic animals, have shown great potential in their use as a cell-based biosensor in the detection of a broad range of environmental toxicants, as structure and number of chromatophores alters ...

Using wall lizard embryos, we present an approach to isolate neural crest cells by antibody labeling and flow cytometry followed by single‐cell RNA sequencing. The approach does not require transgenic animals, and thus enables addressing evo‐devo questions across a range of vertebrate taxa.

An Annotated Checklist of the Freshwater Fishes of Texas, with Keys to Identification of Species [PDF]
Forty-five families and 247 species of fishes are known to inhabit the freshwaters of Texas. We report on the distribution and status of these fishes and provide a key to their identification.

Epigenetics in Captivity: Restoring Wild Phenotypes in Captive‐Reared Salmonids
ABSTRACT Captive rearing is a common practice for the stocking, conservation, and supplementation of fish species worldwide, but captive‐reared fish can exhibit altered phenotypes leading to reduced fitness in nature compared to wild conspecifics. In salmonids, certain studies have found limited genetic differentiation between wild and captive‐reared ...

Melanocortin systems on pigment dispersion in fish chromatophores
Alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) is responsible for pigment dispersion in the chromatophores of fish and other tetrapods such as amphibians and reptiles.

ABSTRACT Freshwater and sediment environments host diverse microeukaryotic communities that differ in structure and composition, yet exhibit taxonomic overlap. Using 18S V9 rRNA gene sequencing, we compared communities from these habitats in controlled 10‐day mesocosm experiments, examining diversity, overlap, and responses to treated wastewater (TWW).

The influence of chromatic background on the photosensitivity of tilapia erythrophores
Summary Non-mammalian vertebrates and invertebrates use extraretinal photoreceptors to detect light and perform diverse non-image-forming functions. Compared to well-studied visual systems, the effect of ambient light conditions on photosensory systems ...
