Microalgae of different evolutionary origins are typically found in rivers, lakes, and oceans,
providing more than 45% of global primary production. They provide not only a food source …

Mesenchymal stem cells are a promising source for externally grown tissue replacements
and patient-specific immunomodulatory treatments. This promise has not yet been fulfilled in …

Whales accumulate mercury (Hg), but do not seem to show immediate evidence of toxic
effects. Analysis of different tissues (liver, kidney, muscle) and biofluids (blood, milk) from a …

Background Lauric acid (LA), a major, natural, medium-chain fatty acid, is considered an
efficient energy substrate for intense exercise and in patients with long-chain fatty acid β …

Tiemannite (HgSe) is considered the end-product of methylmercury (MeHg) demethylation
in vertebrates. The biomineralization of HgSe nanoparticles (NPs) is understood to be an …

Several insect species use the amino acid proline as a major energy substrate. Although
initially thought to be limited to blood-feeding dipterans, studies have revealed this capability …

Simple Summary In this study, we established the overall transcriptome framework of the
thorax and aging-associated expression change trajectories, and constructed the possible …

The regenerative capacity of muscle, which primarily relies on anabolic processes,
diminishes with age, thereby reducing the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions aimed at …

Flying insects vary greatly in body size and wing proportions, significantly impacting their
flight energetics. Generally, the larger the insect, the slower its flight wingbeat frequency …

Flight muscle breakdown has been reported for many orders of insects, but the basis of this
breakdown in insects with lifelong dependence on flight is less clear. Lepidopterans show …
