Ocean currents drive the worldwide colonization of the most widespread marine plant, eelgrass (Zostera marina)

The paper reconstructs the colonization history of eelgrass using genomic data, showing trans-Pacific currents drove its spread and Atlantic populations arrived more recently with lower genetic diversity.

The Ca2+-gated Cl- channel TMEM16A amplifies capillary pericyte contraction reducing cerebral blood flow after ischemia

This study shows that TMEM16A in pericytes amplifies capillary constriction and reduces cerebral blood flow after ischemia, suggesting it as a therapeutic target for stroke and related disorders.

Multi-omic rejuvenation of naturally aged tissues by a single cycle of transient reprogramming

This study shows that a single cycle of transient OSKM expression reverses aging-related DNA methylation, transcriptional, and metabolic changes in multiple tissues of aged mice.

Evidence of an additional wild contributor, Malus orientalis Uglitzk., to the genome of cultivated apple varieties in the Caucasus and Iran

The paper identifies Malus orientalis as an additional contributor to cultivated apple genomes in the Caucasus and Iran, revealing multiple domestication origins and gene flow between wild and cultivated populations.

Lower Vibrio spp. abundances in Zostera marina leaf canopies suggest a novel ecosystem function for temperate seagrass beds

The study finds lower Vibrio spp. abundances in Zostera marina leaf canopies compared to sand flats, suggesting a potential ecosystem function of seagrasses in reducing harmful bacteria.

Coffee consumption and risk of breast cancer: a Mendelian Randomization study

This study uses Mendelian randomization to assess coffee consumption's effect on breast cancer risk, finding no significant association.
