BMEMat, EarlyView.MiR‐29b is enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) via a tetraspanin transporter‐dependent endocytosis and sorting complex required for the endosomal transport (ESCRT)‐dependent pathway. These EVs target the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of TGFB2, thereby inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad3 signaling pathway and repairing endometrial damage in intrauterine ...

Mid‐Domain Effect and Wooded Habitat Shape Mediterranean Reptile Communities
Biological Diversity, EarlyView.Analyzing a large number of reptiles observed across protected areas in Central Italy, we tested whether the mid‐domain effect explains hump‐shaped richness–elevation patterns. Species richness was best predicted by the combined influence of geometric constraints and woodland cover, revealing two contrasting species clusters and offering a robust ...
