The Dystrophin-Dystroglycan complex ensures cytokinesis efficiency in Drosophila epithelia

The paper identifies Dystrophin-Dystroglycan as essential for cytokinesis efficiency in Drosophila epithelia by regulating ring contraction and preventing membrane regression.

Basement membrane diversification relies on two competitive secretory routes defined by Rab10 and Rab8 and modulated by dystrophin and the exocyst complex

This study identifies two competitive secretory routes for basement membrane proteins in Drosophila, regulated by Rab10, Rab8, dystrophin, and the exocyst complex.

Counting sperm whales and visualising their dive profiles using two-hydrophone recordings and an automated click detector algorithm in a longline depredation context.

The paper describes an automated method to count sperm whales and visualize their dive profiles using hydrophone recordings, revealing distinct diving behaviors associated with interactions with fishing vessels.

High-fructose feeding suppresses cold-stimulated brown adipose tissue glucose uptake in young men independently of changes in thermogenesis and the gut microbiome

This study shows high-fructose diets impair brown adipose tissue glucose uptake in young men without affecting thermogenesis, gut microbiome, or body mass.

Masculinization of the X-chromosome in aphid soma and gonads

The paper examines X-chromosome masculinization in aphid tissues, finding male-biased genes are more frequent on the X and duplicated X genes show higher male bias, supporting sexual conflict resolution through gene duplication.

Long distance runners in the marine realm: New insights into genetic diversity, kin relationships and social fidelity of Indian Ocean male sperm whales

This study investigates genetic diversity, kin relationships, and social fidelity of male sperm whales in the Indian Ocean using underwater observations and genetic sampling.

Coxiella burnetii epitope-specific T-cell responses in chronic Q fever patients

The paper examines T-cell responses to Coxiella burnetii epitopes in chronic Q fever patients, finding overlapping epitope recognition with convalescents and broader ex vivo responses in treated patients.
