Protein Energy Malnutrition: Opportunities for Cold Plasma Technologies
Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) is a major global health concern driven by biological, environmental, and nutritional factors, including gut microbiota imbalance and low protein intake. Cold atmospheric plasma technologies offer promising, sustainable solutions by improving food security, enhancing protein quality and absorption, and modulating gut ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Colour polytypism represents an example of phenotypic diversification shaped by genetic divergence and ecological pressures. Poison frogs of the genus Oophaga (Dendrobatidae) are highly polytypic in coloration, making them an ideal system for investigating the genetic and physiological basis of colour variation.

Thyroid hormone regulates distinct paths to maturation in pigment cell lineages
eLife, 2019 Thyroid hormone (TH) regulates diverse developmental events and can drive disparate cellular outcomes. In zebrafish, TH has opposite effects on neural crest derived pigment cells of the adult stripe pattern, limiting melanophore population expansion, yet

Individual identification of bony fishes using unique body markings: Implications and applications
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 6, Page 1852-1867, December 2025.Abstract The natural variation in animal body markings, such as spots, stripes and blotches, offers a powerful tool for researchers, conservationists, citizen scientists and resource managers to distinguish specific individuals within species. By building libraries of photo‐identified individuals, we can track and differentiate individuals over time ...

pnp4a Is the Causal Gene of the Medaka Iridophore Mutant guanineless
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 See-through medaka lines are suitable for observing internal organs throughout life. They were bred by crossing multiple color mutants. However, some of the causal genes for these mutants have not been identified.

A Chromosome Inversion Creates a Supergene for Sex and Colour in Lake Malawi Cichlids
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.ABSTRACT Cichlid fishes have the highest rates of evolutionary turnover of sex chromosomes among vertebrates. Many large structural polymorphisms in the radiation of cichlids in Lake Malawi are associated with sex chromosomes and may also carry adaptive variation.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 18, September 2025.ABSTRACT Carotenoids contribute substantially to animal body colour pattern diversity. While the ecological and evolutionary drivers of carotenoid coloration are reasonably well understood, the molecular mechanisms facilitating evolutionary transitions between red and yellow hues are less investigated.
