Reply to Boomsma: The evidence that eusociality evolved from monogamous ancestors is inconclusive
Global urban greening and its implication for urban heat mitigation
Urban vegetation provides essential ecosystem services and benefits to support biodiversity and human well-being in urban areas. However, the dynamic trends, driving factors, and their implications to...
The importance of IP6 for ADAR RNA-editing enzymes and antiviral defense
The evolution of signaling and monitoring in plant–fungal networks
Experiments have shown that when one plant is attacked by a pathogen or herbivore, this can lead to other plants connected to the same mycorrhizal network up-regulating their defense mechanisms. It ha...
Identification of <i>ARHGEF11</i> (PDZ-RhoGEF) as an in vivo regulator of synapses and cognition
Given the influence of cognitive abilities on life outcomes, there is inherent value in identifying genes involved in controlling learning and memory. Further, cognitive dysfunction is a core feature...
Adenosine diphosphate stimulates VEGF-independent choroidal endothelial cell proliferation: A potential escape from anti-VEGF therapy
We hypothesized that a strategy employing tissue-specific endothelial cells (EC) might facilitate the identification of tissue- or organ-specific vascular functions of ubiquitous metabolites. An unbia...
Hidden artistic complexity of Peru’s Chancay culture discovered in tattoos by laser-stimulated fluorescence
Tattoos were a prevalent art form in pre-Hispanic South America exemplified by mummified human remains with preserved skin decoration that reflects the personal and cultural representations of their t...
Hydrated cable bacteria exhibit protonic conductivity over long distances
This study presents the direct measurement of proton transport along filamentous Desulfobulbaceae , or cable bacteria. Cable bacteria are filamentous multicellu...
