Summary: The study found that ultra-diluted bioactive compounds can enhance the bioenergetics of scallop reproduction and improve oocyte quality, with the T2 treatment showing the most significant effects. However, the T3 treatment not only accelerated gametogenesis but also resulted in the highest oxidative damage in tissues and oocytes.

Summary: The study revealed that the blue land crab population in the Alvarado Lagoon System has high genetic diversity and showed signs of expansion in recent evolutionary history. There is substantial gene flow among the study sites, indicating that past exploitation has not significantly impacted the population size of blue crabs in the area.

Summary: This study evaluated morphological diversity in the species M. (C.) cecilia and the phylum Porifera at the transcriptomic level, revealing a significant divergence between the green-morphotype and red-morphotype. Through RNA sequencing of individuals with different body-color variations, it was found that the red-morphotype requires further taxonomic investigation and a review of its taxonomic status. These findings suggest that transcriptome assembly metrics may be useful for comparing assemblies of other non-model organisms.

Summary: This study evaluated the nutrigenomic effect of feeding pike silverside larvae with rotifer versus a formulated microdiet. The results showed that larvae fed with rotifers had higher growth and survival rates, as well as overexpression of genes associated with growth, development, and digestive enzymes. Conversely, larvae fed with microdiet exhibited lower performance potentially due to the overexpression of genes related to stress, genome instability, and epigenetic marks. This highlights the importance of a nutrigenomic approach in assessing artificial diet performance in fish larvae and the need to reevaluate the formulation of microdiets for optimal growth.

Summary: The optic glands of cephalopods play a crucial role in controlling reproductive traits and lifecycle events. This study found that the gene expression in the optic glands of fertilized female octopuses fluctuated more compared to males, which might be associated with the regulation of egg-laying and the onset of senescence.

Summary: Climate change affects benthic marine species in the sub-Antarctic oceans, and understanding their physiological responses is crucial for predicting their redistribution in response to climate change impacts. This study used Xymenopsis muriciformis as a model species and found that temperature had significant effects on the ingestion rate and oxygen consumption, while salinity and the interaction between salinity and temperature did not have significant effects. Furthermore, organisms exposed to low temperatures showed cellular degradation, while those exposed to higher temperatures exhibited higher amounts of lipofuscins.

Summary: Most studies on Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) systems in shrimp aquaculture focus on the feasibility of culturing non-native bivalve species. However, limited studies have been conducted on native species, which could be a better alternative. This study evaluates the growth performance of native oysters in an IMTA system with a Mexican shrimp farm and finds that the grow-out cycle, stocking density, and oyster position significantly affect the performance of cultured oysters. Additionally, the growth of C. corteziensis can be improved by utilizing shrimp farm effluents in the IMTA system.

Summary: The study used IVT-SAPAS sequencing to analyze the dynamic changes of APA sites during adipogenesis in bovine subcutaneous preadipocytes and intramuscular preadipocytes. The results showed that APA plays an important role in adipocyte differentiation, and UTR-APA switching genes have different trends, with intramuscular preadipocytes tending to use shorter 3'UTR for differentiation. TRIB3, WWTR1, and INSIG1 play important roles in intramuscular preadipocyte differentiation.

Summary: This study investigates the genetic diversity and natural selection of the Pfama-1 gene in Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Cameroon. The study finds a considerable nucleotide and haplotype diversity, as well as specific mutations in Cameroonian isolates. Positive diversifying selection and the identification of selected codon sites suggest the potential implication of these genetic variations in host immune pressure and parasite-binding complex modulation. The findings provide valuable baseline data for malaria vaccine design.

Summary: RSC is an essential ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It regulates nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) by sliding flanking nucleosomes away from NDRs. Depletion of RSC leads to nucleosome encroachment in NDRs and transcription initiation defects. The study compared the effects of catalytic-dead Sth1 and rapid depletion of Sth1 on transcription. Rapid depletion of Sth1 reduces recruitment of TBP and Pol II, while the catalytic-dead mutant exhibits a severe reduction in TBP binding but accumulates Pol II in coding regions. The results suggest a role for RSC in transcription elongation and termination processes.

Summary: A novel risk model based on SCUBE3, TNNC1, SPON1, SEPT12 and ULBP1 genes was developed for predicting PMOP risk, with higher risk score indicating higher risk of suffering from PMOP. Significant differences in signaling pathway activities were observed between the high-risk score group and the low-risk score group.

Summary: This study analyzed the expression of Ptpn1 and miR-124-3p in testicular tissues of mice and investigated their regulatory relationship. The results showed that Ptpn1 expression was up-regulated in adult mouse testis compared to juvenile mouse testis, while miR-124-3p expression showed an opposite pattern. Further analysis suggested that the down-regulation of miR-124-3p may contribute to the high expression of Ptpn1 in adult mouse testis.

Summary: This study found that exosomes secreted by young BMSCs can promote the healing of tendon-bone interface after rotator cuff tears. These exosomes can improve extracellular matrix remodeling, osteogenic differentiation, angiogenesis, and stemness of tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs). The exosomes from young BMSCs have better effects compared to those from aged BMSCs.
