Closely related dinoflagellate species in vastly different habitats–an example of a marine–freshwater transition

Phytoplankton are present in a large variety of aquatic environments, ranging from small freshwater ponds to the oceans. Typically, freshwater and marine species are not closely related, indicating an ancient divergence and that salinity poses a strong dispersal barrier. Here we reveal a common recent origin of two dinoflagellates that are well adapted to different habitats. Gymnodinium baicalense

Enantiomeric N-substituted phthalimides with excitatory amino acids protect zebrafish larvae against PTZ-induced seizures

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease with high prevalence and adverse impacts on the quality of life of patients and caregivers. Up to one-third of individuals with epilepsy do not respond to current pharmacotherapy, underscoring the importance of identifying new molecules for epilepsy control. Thalidomide, the first synthetized phthalimide, is a neuroactive molecule with anti-seizure drug p

COVID-19 during Pregnancy and Postpartum : Antiviral Spectrum of Maternal Lactoferrin in Fetal and Neonatal Defense

As the COVID-19 pandemic intensified the global health crisis, the containment of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancies, and the inherent risk of vertical transmission of virus from mother-to-fetus (or neonate) poses a major concern. Most COVID-19-Pregnancy patients showed mild to moderate COVID-19 pneumonia with no pregnancy loss and no congenital transmission of the virus; however, an increase in

Actual European forest management by region, tree species and owner based on 714,000 re-measured trees in national forest inventories

Background European forests have a long record of management. However, the diversity of the current forest management across nations, tree species and owners, is hardly understood. Often when trying to simulate future forest resources under alternative futures, simply the yield table style of harvesting is applied. It is now crucially important to come to grips with actual forest management, now t

Interspecies synteny mapping identifies a quantitative trait locus for bone mineral density on human chromosome Xp22

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a complex trait with a strong genetic component and an important predictor of osteoporotic fracture risk. Here we report the use of a cross-species strategy to identify genes that regulate BMD, proceeding from quantitative trait mapping in mice to association mapping of the syntenic region in the human genome. We identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on the mous
