Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.A central molecular adaptor, ZSL, is identified that links transverse filaments ZYP1 to central element SCEP1/2 to drive synaptonemal complex assembly in Brassica napus. Loss of ZSL abolishes synaptonemal complex formation, disrupts meiotic chromosome segregation, and markedly increases crossovers, providing mechanistic insight into meiotic fidelity ...

Integrating Genetics and Environment to Find Causal Mechanisms for Multiple Sclerosis
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 5, May 2026.Genetic and epidemiological studies have together identified hundreds of risk factors for MS, but we know relatively little about the mechanisms through which these cause disease. In this review, we explore a new generation of studies that are integrating genetics and environment to uncover disease mechanisms.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 4, Page 351-360, May 2026.ABSTRACT Animals with seasonal reproductive cycles, as the Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), have developed mechanisms to synchronize reproduction with the environmental cycle in order to optimize reproductive success through melatonin. Angiogenesis and oxidative stress are key processes in spermatogenesis, contributing to testicular remodeling and ...

RNA Modifications: Current Understandings and Future Perspectives
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.Types of RNA modification. We have summarized the currently common types of RNA modifications, including ac4C, m6A, m1A, m5C, m3C, m7G, and ψ, and visually characterized their features through structural formulas. The characteristic structures are marked with a background color different from the background color.

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.
