The paper maps myelin stripes in elephant trigeminal nuclei to trunk folds, revealing structural organization and differences between Asian and African elephants.

The paper uses stem cell differentiation to study developmental tempo scaling across mammals and finds that segmentation clock periods correlate with phylogeny and biochemical kinetics of HES7, but not metabolic rates.

The paper compares liver proteomes of long-lived naked mole-rats and short-lived guinea pigs to identify molecular networks linked to longevity and human aging.

The paper compares transcriptomes of breeders and non-breeders in naked mole-rats and guinea pigs to show socially suppressed sexual maturation and links between reproduction and aging.
