Bone mechano-response is driven by locomotion transitions during vertebrate evolution

Saeka Shimochi, Clara Brunet, Margalida Fontcuberta-Rigo, Katja Hrovat, Pere Puigbò, Miho Nakamura

This study identifies non-collagenous bone matrix proteins as regulators of bone mechano-response, showing evolutionary transitions in locomotion shaped their roles in humans.

Classification of the glyphosate target enzyme (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase)

Lyydia I. Leino, Tuomas Tall, Marjo Linnea Helander, Irma Saloniemi, Kari Saikkonen, Suvi Ruuskanen, Pere Puigbò

The paper introduces a bioinformatics method to classify organisms based on their EPSPS enzyme type to assess glyphosate sensitivity, finding 54% of core human gut microbiome species are sensitive.
