Inferring the Demographic History of Japanese Eel (Anguilla japonica) from Genomic Data: Insights for Conservation and Fisheries Management

This study infers the demographic history of Japanese eel using genomic data, revealing population bottlenecks and growth periods linked to environmental changes.

FBXO47 is essential for preventing the synaptonemal complex from premature disassembly in mouse male meiosis

This study shows FBXO47 prevents premature disassembly of the synaptonemal complex in mouse male meiosis, ensuring proper synapsis and crossover formation.

Resistance to chemical carcinogenesis induction via a dampened inflammatory response in naked mole-rats

This study shows naked mole-rats (NMRs) resist chemical carcinogenesis through reduced inflammatory responses linked to necroptosis deficiency.

The polyol pathway is an evolutionarily conserved system for sensing glucose uptake

The paper shows the polyol pathway senses glucose uptake in flies and mice, enabling metabolic remodeling through ChREBP/MondoA activation.

Phosphorylation of the Anaphase Promoting Complex activator CDH1/FZR regulates the transition from Meiosis I to Meiosis II in mouse male germ cell

This study shows that phosphorylation of CDH1 is essential for the transition from meiosis I to meiosis II in mouse male germ cells and for spermatogonial stem cell maintenance.
