Insect Science, EarlyView.Distinct lineages of the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) form a well‐known hybrid zone (HZ) in the Pyrenees mountain range; the Iberian endemism C. p. erythropus (Cpe) and the subspecies C. p. parallelus, (Cpp) widely distributed throughout the rest of Europe. Both subspecies differ in diverse traits, including the strains of

The molecular basis of lactase persistence: Linking genetics and epigenetics
Annals of Human Genetics, EarlyView.Abstract Lactase persistence (LP) — the genetic trait that determines the continued expression of the enzyme lactase into adulthood — has undergone recent, rapid positive selection since the advent of animal domestication and dairying in some human populations.

Comparative study of the biological activities of the aqueous extracts of two spontaneous plants harvested in the Algerian Sahara [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The present study investigates the insecticidal and herbicidal effects of leaf extracts from two plants were harvested in the Northern Algerian Sahara. These are Cleome arabica (Capparaceae) and Pergularia tomentosa (Asclepiadaceae). The efficacy of the extracts from the plants was evaluated by the reflux extraction method.

Differences and similarities in enzymes from the neopullulanase subfamily isolated from thermophilic species [PDF]
, 2008 Six glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 13 members, classified under the polyspecific neopullulanase subfamily GH13_20 (also termed cyclomaltodextrinase) were analysed. They originate from thermophilic bacterial strains (Anoxybacillus flavithermus, Laceyella

Cancer Science, Volume 116, Issue 5, Page 1433-1448, May 2025.We propose a novel CHI3L1‐associated vascular phenotype classification for glioma, each characterized by unique tumor features, including immune cell infiltration, metabolic reprogramming, and genomic alterations. We identified CHI3L1‐associated vascular signatures that reflect tumor angiogenesis and immunosuppression.

Xylan degrading enzymes from fungal sources [PDF]
, 2015 Fungi have the ability to degrade xylan as the major component of plant cell wall hemicellulose. Fungi have evolved batteries of xylanolytic enzymes that concertedly act to depolymerise xylan backbones decorated with variable carbohydrate branches. As an
