Transferrin plays a central role to maintain coagulation balance by interacting with clotting factors

This study identifies transferrin as a clotting factor that modulates coagulation balance by interacting with clotting factors and antithrombin III, with implications for atherosclerosis.

Sense-antisense gene overlap causes evolutionary retention of the few introns in Giardia genome and the implications

The paper investigates intron retention in Giardia, finding that sense-antisense gene overlaps, not intron function, likely explain their retention despite evolutionary pressure for loss.
