Melanosomes or microbes: Testing an alternative hypothesis for the origin of microbodies in fossil feathers [PDF]
Microbodies associated with fossil feathers, originally attributed to microbial biofilm, have been reinterpreted as melanosomes: pigment-containing, eukaryotic organelles.

Hepatotrophic effects of FK506 in dogs [PDF]
Portacaval shunt (Eck fistula) in dogs causes hepato- cyte atrophy and organelle disruption, as well as tripling of hepatocyte mitoses. After submitting dogs to this pro-cedure, FK506 was infused into the tied-off left portal vein.

Refurbishing the marine parasitoid order Pirsoniales with newly (re)described marine and freshwater free-living predators. [PDF]
Abstract Pirsoniales is a stramenopile order composed of marine parasitoids of diatoms with unique life cycle. Until recently, a single genus, Pirsonia, uniting six species, was known. The recent identification of new free‐living eukaryotrophic Pirsoniales Pirsonia chemainus, Feodosia pseudopoda, and Koktebelia satura changed our understanding of this ...

Strategies of subcellular fractionation suitable for analysis of peroxisomes and microperoxisomes of animal tissues. [PDF]
Strategies of subcellular fractionation are reviewed from the perspective of their utility in the analysis of peroxisomes. The considerable potential inherant in the method of rate dependent banding In zonal rotors is emphasized.

Molecular cloning and transcriptional activity of a new Petunia calreticulin gene involved in pistil transmitting tract maturation, progamic phase, and double fertilization [PDF]
Calreticulin (CRT) is a highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed Ca2+-binding protein in multicellular eukaryotes. As an endoplasmic reticulum-resident protein, CRT plays a key role in many cellular processes including Ca2+ storage and release ...

The Role of RANBP3L in Pan‐Cancer With Its Significance in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
ABSTRACT Background RAN binding protein 3‐like (RANBP3L), a member of the Ran‐binding protein family, has been linked to various cellular functions, but the role in cancer remains underexplored. In this research, we assessed the diagnostic and prognostic value of RANBP3L in pan‐cancer, especially in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC).

Exploring and Validating the Molecular Mechanisms Linking Fatty Acid Metabolism and Sarcopenia
This study provides reference for fatty acid metabolism related potential candidate genes for sarcopenia and initially creates an effective machine learning models for further investigating the direction of the mechanism level. ABSTRACT Sarcopenia is an ageing‐related disease characterised primarily by skeletal muscle functional decline.

Candida auris is an emerging multidrug‐resistant fungal pathogen that poses a serious global health threat. In our study, we comprehensively delineate both the pan‐genomic and transcriptomic features of C. auris. Intriguingly, our findings reveal an unexpected alkaline pH‐dependent regulation required for C. auris virulence and commensalism mediated by
