Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3732-3744, April 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major global food crop, and understanding its maternal lineage and genetic diversity is essential for breeding, authentication, and evolutionary studies. Chloroplast genomes provide valuable markers for phylogenetic inference and cultivar discrimination; however, conventional plant DNA ...

Molecular Carcinogenesis, Volume 65, Issue 4, Page 523-536, April 2026.ABSTRACT Canine hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) requires further molecular characterization to identify diagnostic and therapeutic targets, and to establish whether dogs with this condition can model the human disease. Accordingly, we aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in canine HCC and evaluate cross‐species transcriptomic ...

Connexin 26 Functions as a Direct Transcriptional Regulator During the Cochlea Development
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.Connexin26 can not only form intercellular channels that mediate rapid communication on the cell membrane, but also enter the nucleus as a transcription factor to directly regulate the transcription of nuclear genes. In the developing cochlea, Cx26 can control the maturation of the molecular scissor ADAM10 by regulating the transcription of TspanC8 ...
