Senescent cells, albeit not proliferating, are metabolically and transcriptionally active,
thereby capable of affecting their microenvironment, notably via the production of …

The characteristic maximum lifespan varies enormously across animal species from a few
hours to hundreds of years. This argues that maximum lifespan, and the ageing process that …

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), one of the most pervasive and virulent coral
diseases on record, affects over 22 species of reef-building coral and is decimating reefs …

The diversified NF-κB transcription factor family has been extensively characterized in
organisms ranging from flies to humans. However, homologs of NF-κB and many upstream …

Chitosan-based artificial nerve grafts have been widely employed to repair peripheral nerve
defects. Our previous study has shown that chitosan constructed nerve graft not only …

Freezing, dehydration, salinity variations, hypoxia or anoxia are some of the environmental
constraints that many organisms must frequently endure. Organisms adapted to these …

Hemocytes, similar to vertebrate blood cells, play important roles in insect development and
immunity, but it is not well understood how they perform their tasks. New technology, in …

The freshwater polyp Hydra uses an elaborate innate immune machinery to maintain its
specific microbiome. Major components of this toolkit are conserved Toll-like receptor (TLR) …

Mechanical injury is a prevalent challenge in the lives of animals with myriad potential
consequences for organisms, including reduced fitness and death. Research on animal …

Recent research highlighted the impact of ROS as upstream regulators of tissue
regeneration. We investigated their role and targeted processes during the regeneration of …
