Mechanisms underlying the production of carapace vibrations and associated waterborne sounds in the American lobster, Homarus americanus [PDF]
American lobsters produce carapace vibrations, which also lead to waterborne acoustic signals, by simultaneously contracting the antagonistic remotor and promotor muscles located at the base of the second antenna.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Muscle Differentiation: A Gene for Slow Muscle? [PDF]
Skeletal muscle comes in two fundamental flavours, slow and fast, which determine physiological performance. Zebrafish screens have provided a handle on the molecular mechanism driving slow muscle formation. The transcriptional repressor Blimp1 has now been shown to be required in embryonic slow muscle precursor cells.

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...
