Selection against domestication alleles in introduced rabbit populations by Andrade, P, Alves, JM, Pereira, P, Rubin, C-J, Silva, E, Sprehn, CG, Enbody, E, Afonso, S, Faria, R, Zhang, Y, Bonino, N, Duckworth, JA, Garreau, H, Letnic, M, Strive, T, Thulin, C-G, Queney, G, Villafuerte, R, Jiggins, FM, Ferrand, N, Andersson, L, Carneiro, M

“…This limited parallelism is probably explained by extensive standing genetic variation resulting from domestication together with the complex mixed ancestry of introduced populations. Our findings shed light on the selective and molecular mechanisms that enable domestic animals to re-adapt to the wild and provide important insights for the mitigation and management of invasive populations.…”

International differences in conservation priorities are more complicated than Global North-Global South divisions by Mutinhima, Y, Sibanda, L, Rono, B, Kulunge, S, Kimaili, D, Dickman, A, Madsen, E, Mandoloma, L, Tacey, J, Allred, S, Hare, D

“… Two enduring ideological divisions in biodiversity conservation concern whether conservation should prioritise a) the interests of people or wild animals, and b) the interests of individual animals or groups of animals. …”

Global response of Vibrio cholerae to predation by heterotrophic protists by Hu, Jie

“…Indeed, a pigmented mutant, disrupted in VC1345 (hmgA), survived 100-fold better intracellularly in amoebae than did the wild type. The biomass of V. cholerae biofilms increased when the cell-free supernatant from a T. pyriformis culture was added, indicating that there may be chemical cues involved. …”

Loss of caveolin-1 impairs light flicker-induced neurovascular coupling at the optic nerve head by Loo, Jing Hong, Lee, Ying Shi, Woon, Chang Yi, Yong, Victor H. K., Tan, Bingyao, Schmetterer, Leopold, Chong, Rachel S.

“…However, there was no significant difference in RGC density between Cav-1 KO and wild type mice. These findings highlight the role of Cav-1 in regulating neurovascular coupling and IOP and suggest that the loss of Cav-1 may predispose to vascular dysfunction and decreased RGC signaling in the absence of structural loss. …”

Unravelling the degradation pathways and charging mechanism in the Li-O2 battery: the role of singlet oxygen by Zor, C

“…It is demonstrated that ¹O₂ is not the main source of degradation and fresh Li₂O₂ surfaces is the culprit. This finding should redirect the focus of LOB research from avoiding ¹O₂ to developing electrolytes inert towards peroxide and peroxide-derived side products for an electro/chemically stable cell. …”

Information entropy based leakage profiling by Ou, Changhai, Zhou, Xinping, Lam, Siew-Kei, Zhou, Chengju, Ning, Fangxing

Characterisation of collagen type I/ type II composite scaffolds for osteochondral tissue engineering by Tamaddon, M

“…The addition of chondroitin sulphate and fibrillogenesis increased the rigidity of the collagen chains and the viscosity of suspensions, thereby affecting the pore structure of the final scaffolds. A very important finding was that stem cells produced mostly collagen type II matrix molecules on these scaffolds, which differed from the production of collagen type I on type I scaffolds.…”

Investigating the role of astrocytes in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis in GBA- N370S iPSC-derived neural cultures by Ibarra Aizpurua, N
