Enhanced Infection Resistance and Regenerative Healing of Titanium Implants via Peptide‐Loaded Biodegradable Coatings

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a new biodegradable coating for titanium implants using a natural antimicrobial peptide, caerin 1.9. Applied via solvent casting, the coating offers sustained antibacterial protection and promotes healing. Tested on 3D‐printed porous titanium scaffolds, it effectively prevented infection—including against resistant bacteria—while ...

Mangrove Forests: Natural Laboratories for Studying Epigenetic and Climate Changes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
In the adaptation market, plants cash in the changes of their DNA (either genetic or epigenetic) to purchase fitness. Fitness is negatively affected by stressful conditions caused by climate change and well-designed studies are required to investigate ...

Magnetic Textiles: A Review of Materials, Fabrication, Properties, and Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Magnetic textiles (M‐textiles) are emerging as a programmable materials platform that merges magnetic matter with hierarchical textile structures. This article consolidates magnetic material classes, textile architectures, and fabrication and magnetization strategies, revealing structure–property–function relationships that govern magneto‐mechanical ...

Insights into the genome of the ‘Loco’ Concholepas concholepas (Gastropoda: Muricidae) from low-coverage short-read sequencing: genome size, ploidy, transposable elements, nuclear RNA gene operon, mitochondrial genome, and phylogenetic placement in the family Muricidae

BMC Genomics
Background The Peruvian ‘chanque’ or Chilean ‘loco’ Concholepas concholepas is an economically, ecologically, and culturally important muricid gastropod heavily exploited by artisanal fisheries in the temperate southeastern Pacific Ocean.

Shuffling the yeast genome using CRISPR/Cas9-generated DSBs that target the transposable Ty1 elements

PLoS Genetics, 2023
Although homologous recombination between transposable elements can drive genomic evolution in yeast by facilitating chromosomal rearrangements, the details of the underlying mechanisms are not fully clarified.

Scattered organization of the histone multigene family and transposable elements in Synbranchus

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2014
The fish species Synbranchus marmoratus is widely distributed throughout the Neotropical region and exhibits a significant karyotype differentiation. However, data concerning the organization and location of the repetitive DNA sequences in the genomes of

DNA transposons have colonized the genome of the giant virus Pandoravirus salinus [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Transposable elements are mobile DNA sequences that are widely distributed in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, where they represent a major force in genome evolution.

Liver Stiffness Directs Intrahepatic Cholesterol Accumulation Through YAP/TAZ in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Liver stiffness promotes intrahepatic cholesterol accumulation by repressing LXRα through YAP/TAZ activation. Stiff matrices impair cholesterol efflux in hepatocytes, while YAP/TAZ deletion restores LXRα activity and prevents cholesterol‐induced fibrosis.

Highly Variable Genomic Landscape of Endogenous Retroviruses in the C57BL/6J Inbred Strain, Depending on Individual Mouse, Gender, Organ Type, and Organ Location. [PDF]

, 2017
Transposable repetitive elements, named the "TREome," represent ~40% of the mouse genome. We postulate that the germ line genome undergoes temporal and spatial diversification into somatic genomes in conjunction with the TREome activity.

A MODEL FOR DNA SEQUENCE EVOLUTION WITHIN TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENT FAMILIES [PDF]

Genetics, 1986
ABSTRACT A quantitative model is proposed for the expected degree of relationship between copies of a family of transposable elements in a finite population of hosts. Special cases of the model (in which the process of homogenization of element copies either is or is not limited by transposition rate) are presented and illustrated, using
