First endangered black-footed ferrets, Mustela nigripes, cloned for genetic rescue

Researchers cloned an endangered black-footed ferret using cross-species somatic cell nuclear transfer, producing three healthy kits to aid genetic rescue.

Striated fibre assemblins localise in the feeding groove of the 'typical excavate' Paratrimastix pyriformis

The paper identifies three SFA paralogs in the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor and shows their localization in the feeding groove of Paratrimastix pyriformis.

Relationship between extreme species richness and Holocene persistence of forest-steppe grasslands in Transylvania, Romania

The paper investigates the Holocene persistence of high-species-richness forest-steppe grasslands in Transylvania using soil analysis, finding evidence of long-term grassland presence and disturbance-driven maintenance.

Topological stress triggers persistent DNA lesions in ribosomal DNA with ensuing formation of PML-nucleolar compartment

This study shows that topological stress and RNAPI inhibition cause rDNA damage, leading to PML-nucleolar compartments (PNAs) that help prevent rDNA instability and may contribute to aging and cancer.

Exploring the Interdependence of TKS4 and CD2AP: Implications for EMT Process and Early Detection in Colon Cancer

This study identifies TKS4-CD2AP interaction and shows their interdependent role in colon cancer EMT and suggests their expression ratio as a biomarker for early detection.

Pre- and post-mating reproductive isolation evolve independently during rapid adaptation to high temperature

Impact of glycan positioning on HIV-1 Env glycan shield density, function, and antibody recognition

This study shows how changes in individual glycan units of HIV-1 Env affect structure, function, and antibody recognition through high-resolution glycomics and molecular dynamics.
