This study shows bidirectional extracellular vesicle-mediated nutrient exchange between mother and embryo in lecithotrophic guppies, challenging the view that such exchange is limited to small molecules.

The paper identifies a novel transposable element, Tel2, in lampreys that is closely related to Tol2 in teleost fishes, suggesting horizontal transfer between jawless and jawed vertebrates.

RO8191 induces embryo implantation in mice by activating the STAT3 pathway and initiating decidualization in specific knockout models.

This study identifies ventral cluster cells as electrocyte progenitors in electric eels, showing their transformation into mature electrocytes through dorsal migration and cell fusion.

The paper identifies a viral protein with high homology to human MHC class I molecules and traces its evolutionary origin through horizontal gene transfer.

This study investigates how Micafungin inhibits Pteropine orthoreovirus by targeting p17 and modulating IL-6 in host cells.

The paper identifies long, conserved Entomopoxvirus-like sequences in human centromeric and pericentromeric regions using the T2T genome.

The paper identifies bouncer as a key protein enabling immature oocyte fertilization in guppies, a unique reproductive strategy not observed in other fish species.

This study demonstrates heritable endogenization of an RNA virus, EMCV, in laboratory mice, showing viral RNA is reverse transcribed and transmitted through the germline.
