Biomaterial Physical Cues as Gene Regulators for Cellular Agriculture
This review elucidates how biomaterial physical cues—ranging from matrix stiffness to remote electromagnetic fields—serve as extrinsic regulators of gene expression in cellular agriculture. By identifying central mechanotransduction pathways that bridge physical inputs to genetic remodeling, the authors propose the “Material Genome” concept: a ...

NAD+‒circadian rhythm coupling in dementia
Abstract The circadian rhythm system and sleep coordinate whole‐body functions across the 24‐h cycle, yet these rhythms progressively deteriorate with neurodegenerative diseases, including dementia. Growing evidence indicates that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) interacts with the circadian system through multiple molecular pathways and that ...

Avian cryptochrome 4 binds superoxide
Flavin-binding cryptochromes are blue-light sensitive photoreceptors that have been implicated with magnetoreception in some species. The photocycle involves an intra-protein photo-reduction of the flavin cofactor, generating a magnetosensitive radical pair, and its subsequent re-oxidation.

Clocks, cryptochromes and Monarch migrations [PDF]
The annual migration of the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) from eastern North America to central Mexico is one of nature's most inspiring spectacles. Recent studies including one in BMC Biology, have begun to dissect the molecular and neurogenetic basis for this most complex behavior.

A photolyase-like protein from Agrobacterium tumefaciens with an iron-sulfur cluster.
Photolyases and cryptochromes are evolutionarily related flavoproteins with distinct functions. While photolyases can repair UV-induced DNA lesions in a light-dependent manner, cryptochromes regulate growth, development and the circadian clock in plants ...

Effects of dark or of red, blue or white light on germination of subterranean clover seeds [PDF]
Dry or imbibed seeds of the negatively photoblastic burr burying subterranean clover cv. ‘Seaton Park’ were treated with dark or with red, blue or white light to evaluate the effects of light on seed germination.

ABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

Regulation and Identity of Florigen: Flowering Locus T Moves Center Stage [PDF]
The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is controlled by day length in many plant species. Day length is perceived in leaves and induces a systemic signal, called florigen, that moves through the phloem to the shoot apex.
