Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

Domination Versus Sisterhoods in the Blood Microbiota of Migrating Birds: Patterns of Within‐ and Between‐Individual Blood Parasite Diversity Revealed Through Metabarcoding

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian haemosporidian blood parasites are typically identified through Sanger sequencing of a partial cytochrome b fragment, the MalAvi barcoding region. Next‐generation sequencing is seldom used for avian blood parasite identification; this study demonstrates a higher detection rate of co‐infections via metabarcoding and its possible implications ...

Decoding Dual Regulatory Layers: Integrating Differential Expression and Alternative Splicing Dynamics in the Evolution of Laryngeal Echolocation Across Chiropteran Lineages

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We integrated short‐read and long‐read RNA‐seq data from cochlear tissues of echolocating and non‐echolocating bats to disentangle transcriptional and post‐transcriptional regulation. Echolocating bats showed neural‐function enrichment among differentially expressed genes, while alternatively spliced genes were linked to epigenetic regulation. Overlaps

Management of Adult Patients With Isocitrate Dehydrogenase‐Mutant Gliomas in Australia: An Expert Position Statement From the Cooperative Trials Group for Neuro‐Oncology

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
Following maximal surgery when feasible, management of adult patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)‐mutant glioma is complex and should be considered in a neuro‐oncology multidisciplinary context balancing disease control versus potential treatment‐associated toxicities. Options include continued surveillance, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and/

Comprehensive Analysis of Codon Usage Bias in Human Papillomavirus Type 51

Polish Journal of Microbiology
Human papillomavirus type 51 (HPV-51) is associated with various cancers, including cervical cancer. Examining the codon usage bias of the organism can offer valuable insights into its evolutionary patterns and its relationship with the host.

Cryptorchidism: Novel genetic insights into CCDC149 mutations

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cryptorchidism, characterized by the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum, is a common congenital condition that can lead to infertility and increased risk of testicular cancer. CCDC149, a coiled‐coil domain‐containing protein, has been implicated in various developmental processes, but its role in the male ...

Integrated high‐resolution copy number and histomolecular analysis of diffuse hemispheric glioma, H3 G34‐mutant reveals universal TP53 abnormalities

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
This integrated high‐resolution copy number and histomolecular analysis of diffuse hemispheric glioma, H3 G34‐mutant expands the spectrum of associated genetic changes and underscores the presence of universal TP53 abnormalities at copy number, sequence, and protein expression level, with frequent yet largely unrecognized TP53 copy‐neutral loss of ...

Molecular and clinical features of a Japanese medulloblastoma cohort: Subgroup‐specific prognostic stratification using economical/accessible diagnostic methods

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
This study characterizes the molecular subgroup–specific features of a nationwide Japanese cohort comprising 242 medulloblastomas (MBs). Furthermore, we introduce SEE‐6‐CNA, a simple, cost‐effective, and FFPE‐compatible molecular test that is applicable to routine pathology samples and serves as a surrogate for risk stratification in non‐WNT/non‐SHH ...
