Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Inhibitory Effects of Antiparkinsonian Drugs and Caspase Inhibitors in a Parkinsonian Flatworm Model
It has been known that rotenone and 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+, a metabolite of MPTP), which inhibit mitochondrial complex I, are useful tools for parkinsonian models in vertebrates such as primates and rodents.

Fraternal cooperation of hierarchical cancer parallels metazoan multicellularity and eusociality
ABSTRACT Metazoan multicellularity and eusociality — both outcomes of the fraternal major transitions — have numerous features in common such as uneven distribution of group‐establishing potential. In addition to this framework, I argue herein that the group‐forming principles of metazoan multicellularity and eusociality are analogous to hierarchical ...

The paper proposes that the root cause of aging is the loss of anatomical goal‐directedness after development. Using evolutionary neural cellular automata simulations, the authors show that after the organism has reached its developmental homeostatic setpoint (the adult morphology), the absence of target state to pursue leads to a drifting anatomical ...

The polymeric adsorption of Hg(II) and the assessment of ecotoxicity. ABSTRACT In this study, an adsorbent was produced by the copolymerization of acrylic acid and acrylamide, followed by cross‐linking. The impact of pH, duration of contact, concentration, presence of interfering ions, and reuse was investigated.

Cell lineage tracing: Methods, applications, and challenges
Abstract Cell lineage tracing is a crucial technique for understanding cell fate and lineage relationships, with wide applications in developmental biology, tissue regeneration, and disease progression studies. Over the years, experimental cell lineage tracing methods have advanced from early labeling techniques to modern genetic tools such as CRISPR ...

Orthogonal muscle fibers have different instructive roles in planarian regeneration
The ability to regenerate missing body parts exists throughout the animal kingdom. Positional information is crucial for regeneration, but how it is harboured and used by differentiated tissues is poorly understood.
