Effects of Flight on Gene Expression and Aging in the Honey Bee Brain and Flight Muscle [PDF]
Honey bees move through a series of in-hive tasks (e.g., “nursing”) to outside tasks (e.g., “foraging”) that are coincident with physiological changes and higher levels of metabolic activity.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Soil contamination by heavy metals, particularly lead (Pb), which is considered the second most toxic metal, poses serious risks to plants and humans due to its accumulation from various anthropogenic activities. Strigolactones (SLs) are a novel class of

Gene Expression Profile Changes After Short-activating RNA-mediated Induction of Endogenous Pluripotency Factors in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells [PDF]
It is now recognized that small noncoding RNA sequences have the ability to mediate transcriptional activation of specific target genes in human cells.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Addendum: Precise tuning of gene expression levels in mammalian cells
Following re-sequencing of the miSFIT constructs used in the paper, two of the construct variants inserted into the 3’UTR of PD-1, namely ‘12C’ and ‘17A, 18G’, have been found to contain additional insertions not present in the other construct variants ...

Manipulating the Prion Protein Gene Sequence and Expression Levels with CRISPR/Cas9. [PDF]
The mammalian prion protein (PrP, encoded by Prnp) is most infamous for its central role in prion diseases, invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases affecting humans, food animals, and animals in the wild.

Expression of SMARCD1 interacts with age in association with asthma control on inhaled corticosteroid therapy. [PDF]
BackgroundGlobal gene expression levels are known to be highly dependent upon gross demographic features including age, yet identification of age-related genomic indicators has yet to be comprehensively undertaken in a disease and treatment-specific ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Gene amplification as a form of population-level gene expression regulation
Organisms cope with change by taking advantage of transcriptional regulators. However, when faced with rare environments, the evolution of transcriptional regulators and their promoters may be too slow. Here, we investigate whether the intrinsic instability of gene duplication and amplification provides a generic alternative to canonical gene ...
