The paper investigates DNA damage and cellular stress in short-sleeping Mexican cavefish, finding elevated DNA damage markers and reduced DNA repair responses compared to surface fish.

This paper establishes bat muscle cell lines and analyzes their transcriptomic and metabolic profiles to study muscle regeneration and flight muscle biology in bats.

This study shows that dynamic basal cell contacts during mitosis influence tissue packing in mammalian epithelia, confirmed through in silico modeling and organoid experiments.

This paper develops a protocol for isolating and culturing primary fibroblasts from frozen bat wing biopsies and establishes stable cell lines for genetic and physiological studies.
