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 ...

A link between phenotypic robustness and life expectancy in Drosophila melanogaster
Long-lived systems are expected to be stable, i. e. resistant to either external influences, or internal failures. Robustness of biological systems can be defined as a reciprocal value to their phenotypic plasticity expressed through a coefficient of ...

IntroductionPlasma free hemoglobin is the gold standard for monitoring hemolysis in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) but its routine use has some limitations. Carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) is also a marker of intravascular hemolysis.

Insights into a long life without cancer: The case of the bowhead whale
Long‐lived, large‐bodied organisms have evolved powerful anticancer mechanisms that preserve cellular and tissue integrity across extended lifespans. A recent study by Firsanov et al. shows that greater genome stability is a key factor underlying the remarkable longevity and cancer resistance of one such species, the bowhead whale.

Research on Life Extension of Primary Rubber Springs for Railway Vehicles
In order to understand and master the real change after the operation of a lifespan (5 years or 600,000 km) of the primary conical rubber spring, which is a critical part for railway vehicles, and to provide data support for life extension research and ...

Interleaved Pro/Anti-saccade Behavior Across the Lifespan
The capacity for inhibitory control is an important cognitive process that undergoes dynamic changes over the course of the lifespan. Robust characterization of this trajectory, considering age continuously and using flexible modeling techniques, is ...

A urine‐based digital PCR assay targeting two hotspot TERT promoter variants detected bladder cancer with high sensitivity and no false positives in this case–control cohort. The streamlined AbsoluteQ workflow outperformed Sanger sequencing and supports non‐invasive molecular testing for bladder cancer detection.

Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

Fundamental equations linking methylation dynamics to maximum lifespan in mammals
We describe a framework that addresses concern that the rate of change in any aging biomarker displays a trivial inverse relation with maximum lifespan. We apply this framework to methylation data from the Mammalian Methylation Consortium.

Most eukaryotic genes express multiple transcripts and proteins, and a sophisticated gene expression strategy plays a crucial role in ensuring the cell-specificity of genetic information and the correctness of phenotypes. The Drosophila melanogaster gene
