A Deeply Branching Lineage in Heterolobosea (Discoba) With Multiflagellated and Multigrooved Life Stages

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Several distantly related, deep‐branching lineages within the eukaryotic tree of life share what is known as the “typical excavate” morphology. This cell architecture includes a suspension‐feeding ventral groove, supported by complex and specific structures of the cytoskeleton, and a vane‐bearing posterior flagellum.

Flavonoids as Promising Akt1 Inhibitors in Cancer Medicine: Insights From Molecular Docking, Dynamics, DFT Calculations, and In Vitro Validation

Cancer Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway is commonly deregulated in different types of cancers, contributing to tumor proliferation, persistence, and resistance to treatment. Akt1, a crucial kinase within this pathway, plays a critical role in tumor progression and the occurrence of therapeutic resistance.
