The prospect of transplanting cells and tissues without the risk of immune rejection or the
need for powerful immunosuppressive drugs is the 'holy grail'of transplantation medicine …

Although freshwater invasions have not been targeted for maintenance management or
eradication as often as terrestrial invasions have, attempts to do so are frequent. Failures as …

Abstract Background The Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is an ecologically
and economically relevant edible marine bivalve, highly invasive and resilient to biotic and …

Transmissible cancers are infectious parasitic clones that metastasize to new hosts, living
past the death of the founder animal in which the cancer initiated. We investigated the …

Tasmanian devils have spawned two transmissible cancer lineages, named devil facial
tumor 1 (DFT1) and devil facial tumor 2 (DFT2). We investigated the genetic diversity and …

The immunogenicity of transplanted allogeneic cells and tissues is a major hurdle to the
advancement of cell therapies. Here we show that the overexpression of eight …

Reconstructing species' demographic histories is a central focus of molecular ecology and
evolution. Recently, an expanding suite of methods leveraging either the sequentially …

Cancer is ubiquitous in wildlife, affecting animals from bivalves to pachyderms and
cetaceans. Reports of increasing frequency demonstrate that neoplasia is associated with …

The premise of mutational signature analysis is that genomes acquire somatic mutations
through the collective action of discrete mutational processes, and its aim is to infer the …

Background Cancer is a common diagnosis in many mammalian species, yet they vary in
their vulnerability to cancer. The factors driving this variation are unknown, but life history …
