In rat hippocampal neurons under mild oxidative stress, Optineurin-marked damaged mitochondria are engulfed slowly and reach lysosomes over days; scavenging mitochondrial reactive oxygen species or nutrient deprivation speeds this.

This paper describes how the asexual tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris modifies meiosis to maintain genome heterozygosity, providing insights into its reproductive mechanism and genetic inheritance.

This study examines chromosome and nuclear architecture in early embryos of the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris, finding that chromosomes remain individualized and housed in separate lamin-lined compartments throughout interphase.

The paper identifies segmentally iterated expression patterns of FGF and BMP pathway genes in tardigrade embryos, suggesting roles in segmentation and dorsal-ventral patterning.
