Applicability of Redirecting Artemisinins for New Targets
Global Challenges, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Repurposing of drugs has great practical appeal. However, a systematic approach is essential. Here, artemisinins (ARTS) are used to illustrate some considerations that are critical in this process. Several mechanisms of action are suggested for ARTS, among which only a few are successfully examined in vivo, mainly the induction of oxidant stress and ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2188-2209, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Multicellularity evolved multiple times in the history of life, with most reviewers agreeing that it appeared at least 20 times in eukaryotes. However, a specific list of multicellular eukaryotes with clear criteria for inclusion has not yet been published.

On the evolution of epigenetics via exaptation: A developmental systems perspective
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1529, Issue 1, Page 21-32, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Evolution and development are interrelated processes influenced by genomic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Epigenetic processes serve critical roles in development and operate as intermediaries that connect the genome to the rest of the world. Therefore, it is of interest to consider the evolution of epigenetic processes.

Diet and mitonuclear haplotype interactions affect growth rate in a slime mould
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 Three‐way interactions between mitochondrial, nuclear haplotypes and dietary P:C ratios affected the slime mould's surface area of growth but not biomass. Our findings have broad implications for our understanding of the effect of mitonuclear interactions on trait expression across diverse eukaryotic lineages.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 6924-6939, November 2021., 2021 Summary Nitric oxide (NO) is a signalling molecule in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. NO levels transiently boost upon induction of conidiation in Aspergillus nidulans. Only one pathway for NO synthesis involving nitrate reductase has been reported in filamentous fungi so far, but this does not satisfy all the NO produced in fungal cells. Here we

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 68, Issue 6, November/December 2021., 2021 Abstract The Cutosea represent a deep‐branching lineage within the phylum Amoebozoa that is still relatively poorly explored. Currently, there are four cutosean representatives known – the monotypic genera Armaparvus, Idionectes, Sapocribrum, and Squamamoeba – with marked genetic distances. Idionectes vortex is the deepest‐branching species and differs

Speciation in progress? A phylogeographic study among populations of Hemitrichia serpula (Myxomycetes). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Myxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds, Amoebozoa) are often perceived as widely distributed, confounding to the "everything is everywhere" hypothesis. To test if gene flow within these spore-dispersed protists is restricted by geographical barriers, we ...

EVOLUTION OF HIERARCHICAL CYTOPLASMIC INHERITANCE IN THE PLASMODIAL SLIME MOLD PHYSARUM POLYCEPHALUM [PDF]
Evolution, 2004 A striking linear dominance relationship for uniparental mitochondrial transmission is known between many mating types of plasmodial slime mold Physarum polycephalum. We herein examine how such hierarchical cytoplasmic inheritance evolves in isogamous organisms with many self-incompatible mating types.

An inexpensive moist chamber culture technique for finding microbiota on live tree bark. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise Traditional moist chamber cultures (MCs) prepared in aseptic laboratory environments using sterile Petri dishes are commonly used to quantify the microbiota of rough‐bark tree species and woody vines. MCs are typically expensive and may be difficult to make, so a less expensive option made from easily available supplies was developed ...
