By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Bridging the gap: Multi‐stakeholder perspectives of molecular diagnostics in oncology

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Although molecular diagnostics is transforming cancer care, implementing novel technologies remains challenging. This study identifies unmet needs and technology requirements through a two‐step stakeholder involvement. Liquid biopsies for monitoring applications and predictive biomarker testing emerge as key unmet needs. Technology requirements vary by

Comparative analysis of fecundity in close amphimictic Aporrectodea сaliginosa and apomictic A. trapezoides earthworms, and the problem of reproductive advantages of parthenogenetic animals.

Zoodiversity, 2020
The comparative analysis of fecundity and fertility was studied experimentally for the amphimictic Aporrectodea caliginosa diploid earthworms and the close parthenogenetic A. trapezoides triploid earthworms during two seasons. The individual fecundity of

Maturation, Spawning Period, and Fecundity of the White Crappie, Pomoxis annularis Rafinesque, in Beaver Reservoir, Arkansas [PDF]

, 1981
Gonosomatic indices and ovum diameter frequency distributions showed that the Beaver Reservoir white crappie spawns from late April through May. During the spawning season females release eggs more than once.

The impact of low erythrocyte density in human blood on the fitness and energetic reserves of the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae [PDF]

, 2013
Background Anaemia is a common health problem in the developing world. This condition is characterized by a reduction in erythrocyte density, primarily from malnutrition and/or infectious diseases such as malaria.

Exploiting metabolic adaptations to overcome dabrafenib treatment resistance in melanoma cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that dabrafenib‐resistant melanoma cells undergo mitochondrial remodeling, leading to elevated respiration and ROS production balanced by stronger antioxidant defenses. This altered redox state promotes survival despite mitochondrial damage but renders resistant cells highly vulnerable to ROS‐inducing compounds such as PEITC, highlighting redox

Advances in methods for determining fecundity: application of the new methods to some marine fishes [PDF]

, 2009
Estimation of individual egg production (realized fecundity) is a key step either to understand the stock and recruit relationship or to carry out fisheries-independent assessment of spawning stock biomass using egg production methods.

Overview of molecular signatures of senescence and associated resources: pros and cons

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cells can enter a stress response state termed cellular senescence that is involved in various diseases and aging. Detecting these cells is challenging due to the lack of universal biomarkers. This review presents the current state of senescence identification, from biomarkers to molecular signatures, compares tools and approaches, and highlights ...

On some problems of reproduction of ruff, Gymnocephalus cernuus (L., 1758) in the Lake D±bie [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1988
Changes in the Lake Dąbie ruff gonad maturity and egg diameter were studied. Absolute and relative fecundity values were calculated. The egg diameter distribution suggests portional spawning. The absolute fecundity was found to range within 13,338-82,233
