Tapeworm infection affects sleep behavior in three-spined stickleback

This study investigates how tapeworm infection affects sleep behavior in three-spined sticklebacks, finding altered sleep patterns at different timepoints post-exposure.

Paternal knockdown of tRNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase (Dnmt2) increases offspring susceptibility to infection in red flour beetles

This study shows that paternal Dnmt2 knockdown in red flour beetles increases offspring susceptibility to bacterial infection, independent of paternal bacterial exposure.

Metabolic reprogramming underlies cavefish muscular endurance despite loss of muscle mass and contractility

This paper shows cavefish have reduced muscle mass and contractility but increased muscular endurance due to metabolic reprogramming involving glycogen utilization.

Enhanced lipogenesis through Pparγ helps cavefish adapt to food scarcity.

This study shows that cavefish enhance lipogenesis via upregulated Pparγ to store more fat, aiding adaptation to nutrient scarcity.

Image3C: a multimodal image-based and label independent integrative method for single-cell analysis

Image3C enables single-cell analysis without species-specific reagents by using image-based clustering and CNN integration to detect cellular composition changes.

Adaptation to low parasite abundance affects immune investment strategy and immunopathological responses of cavefish

This study shows that cavefish, adapted to low parasite abundance, have a more sensitive immune system with reduced proinflammatory responses and shifted immune investment to adaptive immunity.

Insulin resistance in cavefish as an adaptation to a nutrient-limited environment

This study shows cavefish have insulin resistance due to a mutation in the insulin receptor, which may confer advantages in nutrient-limited environments despite negative effects seen in humans.
