The paper develops a cross-species co-culture model of astrocytes and neurons from human and chimpanzee iPSCs to study metabolic differences and finds human co-cultures are more metabolically active, with astrocytes driving species-specific metabolic differences.

This study compares two Fusarium oxysporum strains causing human and plant diseases, finding differences in virulence and accessory chromosomes associated with host adaptation.

The paper analyzes bulk RNA-seq data from six primate cerebellar subregions to identify gene expression differences across species, highlighting divergence in synaptic activity and glucose metabolism in lateral hemispheres.
