The Proportion of Females in the Establishment: Discrimination, Preferences and Technology [PDF]
This paper examines determinants of the proportion of females in the establishment as this variable can affect the male- female wage gap in an important way.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Mating system variation drives rapid evolution of the female transcriptome in Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
This research was part funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, Grant Number: NE/I014632/1. The APC was paid through RCUK open access block grant funds.Interactions between the sexes are believed to be a potent source of selection on sex ...

Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Transport of dead infant mountain gorillas by mothers and unrelated females
This report describes prolonged carriage of the corpses of two mountain gorilla infants by both related and unrelated adult females. Two hypotheses regarding this transport are considered: 1) that maternal behavior toward unrelated infants may be a by ...

Physiological Effects of Zinc Oxide in Some of Reproductive and Blood Parameters in Female Rabbits
This study was performed to identify the physiological effects produced by addition of zinc oxide at 96 mg/ kg diet for 40 days in some of reproductive and blood parameters in female rabbits. Sixty local domestic rabbits of both sexes were used (20

How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
