Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

Abstract Objective Developmental epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are epilepsy conditions characterized by significant severity and treatment challenges. Spectral components of the encephalogram (EEG) may provide a valuable biomarker of epileptic severity.

Investigating the Role of Zebrafish Retinoschisin Homologs Rs1a and Rs1b During Retinal Development. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Deficiency in the retinoschisin protein (RS1) causes X‐linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS), a retinal degenerative disease that disrupts retinal layers and forms cystic cavities. In addition to its structural function, RS1 is believed to play a role in retinal development.

Protein tandem repeats that produce frameshifts can generate new structural states and functions
We explored an alternative protein structure landscape by analyzing amino acid sequences from frameshifted tandem repeats—regions prone to frameshifts. These frameshifts, especially in short repeats, lead to more drastic changes than in non‐repetitive regions, often altering structure, function, localization, and potentially contributing to disease ...

Human SART3 has two RRM domains to engage with U6 snRNA for spliceosome recycling. This study reports solution structures of SART3 RRM domains and investigates the interaction between RRM and U6 snRNA. SART3 binds to the asymmetric bulge of U6 snRNA as a dimer via conserved positively charged surfaces.

Zebrafish Tgds, when expressed as a recombinant protein, catalyzes the dehydration of UDP‐D‐glucose, the initial step in the formation of 6‐deoxyhexoses. Corresponding Tgds mutations found in Catel–Manzke syndrome patients lead to reduced enzymatic activity and stability.

midkine‐a (mdka), a pan‐injury response gene in vertebrates, is precisely regulated in the zebrafish telencephalon by a modular cis‐regulatory architecture. This control ensures proper expression during development, adult brain homeostasis, and regeneration.

Calcium‐binding S100 proteins are important mediators of inflammation in humans. Distant members of this family have been recently discovered in teleost fish but their resemblance to human proteins has not been explored yet. This study demonstrates that zebrafish‐specific S100i1 and S100i2 (ictacalcins) possess identical structural organization and ...

Duplication of vas genes is universally observed in aphids, and phylogenetic analysis indicates that this event predates the divergence of Aphididae and Phylloxeridae. Ap‐vas1 is germline‐specific, whereas Ap‐vas2–4 exhibit somatic expression, indicating functional divergence during aphid embryogenesis.
