New England Faculty and College Students Differ in Their Views about Evolution, Creationism, Intelligent Design, and Religiosity [PDF]
, 2010 Public acceptance of evolution in Northeastern U.S. is the highest nationwide, only 59%. Here, we compare perspectives about evolution, creationism, intelligent design (ID), and religiosity between highly educated New England faculty (n = 244; 90% Ph.D ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Evolutionary genomics of socially polymorphic populations of Pogonomyrmex californicus
BMC BiologyBackground Social insects vary considerably in their social organization both between and within species. In the California harvester ant, Pogonomyrmex californicus (Buckley 1867), colonies are commonly founded and headed by a single queen (haplometrosis,

Spontaneous assembly of redox-active iron-sulfur clusters at low concentrations of cysteine
Nature Communications, 2021 Iron-sulfur (FeS) proteins are involved in electron transfer and CO2 fixation. Here, the authors show that FeS clusters can form spontaneously in the presence of the amino acid cysteine, in conditions similar those expected in Hadean alkaline ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

PMEL is involved in snake colour pattern transition from blotches to stripes
Nature CommunicationsCorn snakes are emerging models for animal colouration studies. Here, we focus on the Terrazzo morph, whose skin pattern is characterized by stripes rather than blotches. Using genome mapping, we discover a disruptive mutation in the coding region of the

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...
