Examining Sleep Signals at the Cradle of Life: Can phylogenomic analysis of the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) reveal the fundamental role of sleep?

This paper uses phylogenomic analysis to examine sleep-related genes in LUCA, finding conserved genes linked to signaling, metabolism, and circadian rhythms, suggesting their fundamental role in evolution.

A novel mechanism for the uptake of enterobactin-chelated ferric ions by the mitochondria and subsequent reduction to ferrous ions inside

The paper proposes a novel mechanism where Fe(III) chelated by enterobactin enters mitochondria and is reduced to Fe(II) inside, challenging conventional views of mitochondrial iron uptake.

Chemical probe-based Nanopore Sequencing to Selectively Assess the RNA modifications

This paper introduces a chemical probe-based nanopore sequencing method to selectively assess RNA modifications like inosine and pseudouridine with single-nucleotide resolution.
