Molecular dynamics simulations of oleuropein diffusion in chitosan‐based nanoparticles
Abstract BACKGROUND This study explores the diffusion mechanisms of oleuropein (OLE), a promising polyphenolic compound, within chitosan‐based nanoparticles using molecular dynamics simulations. Chitosan nanoparticles serve as drug delivery carriers, leveraging biocompatibility and tunable release properties influenced by environmental factors such as ...

ABSTRACT Rapid phenotypic change may be mediated by intergenerational transmission of early developmental experiences. In birds, exposure to glucocorticoids during early development can alter global DNA methylation and gene expression. However, DNA methylation is labile, and it is currently unclear whether the impacts of stress suffered during juvenile

Eye Darkening Under Dehydration Stress in the Neotropical Frog Boana punctata (Schneider, 1799)
Dehydration induces a strong and partially reversible increase in iris pigmentation in the Neotropical frog Boana punctata. The tight relationship between iris darkening and hydration state identifies ocular pigmentation as a simple, non‐invasive physiological biomarker with broad potential for assessing hydric stress in amphibian populations ...

Food restricition amplifies the reduction in voluntary locomotion after immune challenge in Xenopus laevis, ilustrating the energetic trade‐off between immunity and performance. ABSTRACT Mounting an immune response and locomotor activity are energetically costly processes that can generate trade‐offs affecting energy allocation, muscle performance, and

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius
