The Evolution of Locally Adaptive Chromosome Inversions in Mimulus guttatus
ABSTRACT Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms are ubiquitous across the diversity of diploid organisms and play a significant role in the evolution of adaptations in those species. Inversions are thought to operate as supergenes by trapping adaptive alleles at multiple linked loci through the suppression of recombination. While there is now considerable

Immunomodulation of salivary gland function due to cancer therapy
Abstract Functional salivary glands (SG) are essential for maintaining oral health, and salivary dysfunction is a persistent major clinical challenge. Several cancer therapies also have off‐target effects leading to SG dysfunction. Recent advances highlight the role of SG immune populations in homeostasis, dysfunction and gland regeneration.

Summary The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful tool for genomic editing with significant potential for gene function validation and molecular breeding in medicinal plants. Salvia miltiorrhiza, a model medicinal plant, was among the pioneers to utilize CRISPR/Cas9 technology, though achieving high‐efficiency homozygous knockout mutants has been ...

Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are small, non‐coding RNAs that play a crucial role in gene regulation, making them potential biomarkers for various diseases. In the field of veterinary medicine, there is a growing interest in exploring the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of miRNAs in kidney diseases affecting dogs and cats.

Abstract figure legend Both ATP synthase and adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) play key roles in mediating the permeability transition. The contribution of ANT becomes evident in the presence of atractylate (ATR) at pH 6.5, a condition that prevents ATP synthase channel activity. At pH 7.4, this effect is minimal, suggesting a critical role for ATP

Abstract The use of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022.

Effects of Aging on Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Mice
Lien et al. report a characterization of metabolism with aging across three different strains of mice. They find that glucose metabolism is robust during healthy aging; however, aging tissues exhibit evidence of upregulated fatty acid and sphingolipid metabolism reactions that regenerate NAD+ from NADH.

Genetic Loci Influencing Cue‐Reactivity in Heterogeneous Stock Rats
A genome‐wide association study characterizing individual differences in cue‐reactivity (sign‐tracking; A) identifies multiple genetic loci, particularly on chromosomes 1 and 18 (B). Multiple candidate genes in these regions were identified, including those with known psychiatric relevance (e.g., Tenm4; C) and novel candidates with heritable ...

A novel mouse model of diverse tumors derived from epithelial cells
CK19‐CreER/LSL‐KRasG12D/P53L/L/R26‐LSL‐LacZ mice could recapitulate multiple tumors originating from epithelial cells. Abstract A deeper understanding of pathophysiology, from the initiation of tumors of epithelial cells to the outcomes associated with it, is imperative to test potential interventions for these diseases.
