Extinction risk of threatened and non-threatened mosses: Reproductive and ecological patterns
For the conservation of species, it is crucial to predict extinction risk by discerning drivers such as biological traits and habitat specificity within the current context of environmental change.

The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Global analysis of a new nonlinear stochastic differential competition system with impulsive effect
We propose a new stochastic competition chemostat system with saturated growth rate and impulsive toxicant input. The main purpose of this paper is to study the stochastic dynamics of a high-dimensional impulsive stochastic chemostat model and find the ...

Extinction, periodicity and multistability in a Ricker Model of Stage-Structured Populations
We study the dynamics of a second-order difference equation that is derived from a planar Ricker model of two-stage (e.g. adult, juvenile) biological populations.

Deep-learning-enabled antibiotic discovery through molecular de-extinction
Molecular de-extinction aims at resurrecting molecules to solve antibiotic resistance and other present-day biological and biomedical problems. Here we show that deep learning can be used to mine the proteomes of all available extinct organisms for the ...

Strength through diversity: how cancers thrive when clones cooperate
Intratumor heterogeneity can offer direct benefits to the tumor through cooperation between different clones. In this review, Kuiken et al. discuss existing evidence for clonal cooperativity to identify overarching principles, and highlight how novel technological developments could address remaining open questions.

Homologous expression and purification of human HAX‐1 for structural studies
This research protocol provides detailed instructions for cloning, expressing, and purifying large quantities of the intrinsically disordered human HAX‐1 protein, N‐terminally fused to a cleavable superfolder GFP, from mammalian cells. HAX‐1 is predicted to undergo posttranslational modifications and to interact with membranes, various cellular ...

Scaling laws in the evolutionary processes of marine animals over the last 540 million years
Scaling laws are ubiquitous in modern biological systems. However, whether such patterns existed in deep-time biological systems is less investigated; the best-known example is the scaling law between the frequency and size of extinction events.

The extinction probability in systems randomly varying in time
The extinction probability of a branching process (a neutron chain in a multiplying medium) is calculated for a system randomly varying in time. The evolution of the first two moments of such a process was calculated previously by the authors in a system
