Abstract: Diverse lepidopteran insects cause serious damage to plants, and their larvae possess a crucial epidermal barrier against environmental stimuli. Their ultraviolet (UV) resistance is enhanced by accumulating uric acid granules in the epidermis, suggesting that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41592-025-02816-x
Abstract: Metagenomics has revolutionized environmental and human-associated microbiome studies. However, the limited fraction of proteins with known biological process and molecular functions presents a major bottleneck. In prokaryotes and viruses, evolution favors keeping genes participating in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2023.1051494
Abstract: Introduction: More than 50 mutations in the MAPT gene result in heterogeneous forms of frontotemporal lobar dementia with tau inclusions (FTLD-Tau). However, early pathogenic events that lead to disease and the degree to which they… read more here.
