Chromosome architecture constrains horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Despite significant frequencies of lateral gene transfer between species, higher taxonomic groups of bacteria show ecological and phenotypic cohesion. This suggests that barriers prevent panmictic dissemination of genes via lateral gene transfer. We have

Horizontal transfer, not duplication, drives the expansion of protein families in prokaryotes. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2011 Gene duplication followed by neo- or sub-functionalization deeply impacts the evolution of protein families and is regarded as the main source of adaptive functional novelty in eukaryotes.

Decreased Serum 5‐HT: Clinical Correlates and Regulatory Role in NMJ of MG
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Although 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) indirectly stimulates muscle contraction and participates in regulating Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster homeostasis in cellular, animal, and clinical studies, evidence regarding its potential to modulate muscle contraction in myasthenia gravis (MG) remains limited.

Horizontal Gene Transfers in Mycoplasmas (Mollicutes) [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2018 The class Mollicutes (trivial name "mycoplasma") is composed of wall-less bacteria with reduced genomes whose evolution was long thought to be only driven by gene losses. Recent evidences of massive horizontal gene transfer (HGT) within and across species provided a new frame to understand the successful adaptation of these minimal bacteria to a broad ...

Health‐Related Quality of Life in Rare Forms of Childhood‐Onset Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We assessed health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in 80 children with rare hereditary spastic paraplegias using the Caregiver Priorities and Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities and clinician‐reported outcomes. HRQoL was consistently reduced, particularly in relation to motor, autonomic, and bulbar symptoms.

Horizontal gene transfer: A critical view [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 It has been suggested that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the “essence of phylogeny.” In contrast, much data suggest that this is an exaggeration resulting in part from a reliance on inadequate methods to identify HGT events. In addition, the assumption that HGT is a ubiquitous influence throughout evolution is questionable.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...
