Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Understanding why the response to infection varies between individuals remains one of the major challenges in immunology and infection biology. A substantial proportion of this heterogeneity can be explained by individual genetic differences which result

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease. This study combines bioinformatics analysis with in vivo and in vitro experiments to elucidate the molecular mechanisms through which melatonin (MT) regulates mitophagy to alleviate OA.

New mitogenomes of Runcinidae and Facelinidae: two understudied heterobranch families (Mollusca: Gastropoda) [PDF]
Here, we present the mitochondrial sequences of two sea slugs (Heterobranchia): Runcina aurata and Facelina auriculata, the latter being the type species of the family.

The first next-generation sequencing approach to the mitochondrial phylogeny of African monogenean parasites (Platyhelminthes: Gyrodactylidae and Dactylogyridae) [PDF]
, 2018 Background Monogenean flatworms are the main ectoparasites of fishes. Representatives of the species-rich families Gyrodactylidae and Dactylogyridae, especially those infecting cichlid fishes and clariid catfishes, are important parasites

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono‐(2‐ethyl‐5‐hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2‐ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells (MMSCs).

Effects of Tributyltin Chloride on Human Neuronal Differentiation and Mice Brain Development
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT According to the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis, perinatal exposure to an environmental toxicant during the development of the nervous system could cause a permanent cellular modification that may promote the appearance of neurodegenerative diseases at an older age.

Genomic characterization of a South American Phytophthora hybrid mandates reassessment of the geographic origins of Phytophthora infestans [PDF]
, 2015 As the oomycete pathogen causing potato late blight disease, Phytophthora infestans triggered the famous 19th-century Irish potato famine and remains the leading cause of global commercial potato crop destruction.

Insect Science, EarlyView.The mitogenome was transcribed into complete primary polycistrons on both strands. The heteropteran mitochondrial transcription termination factor (HmTTF) functions as a bidirectional attenuator rather than a terminator, and co‐evolution of HmTTF and the binding sites was observed.

The Genetic Architecture of Intra-Species Hybrid Mito-Nuclear Epistasis
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Genetic variants that are neutral within, but deleterious between, populations (Dobzhansky-Muller Incompatibilities) are thought to initiate hybrid dysfunction and then to accumulate and complete the speciation process.

Mitogenomics of Central American weakly-electric fishes [PDF]
, 2019 Electric fishes are a diverse group of freshwater organisms with the ability to generate electric organ discharges (EODs) that are used for communication and electrolocation. This group (ca.
