Article Synopsis
  • Ascaridoidea is a superfamily of nematodes that includes gastrointestinal parasites affecting various vertebrates, with origins tracing back to the Carboniferous period.
  • * Recent findings from the Tremembé Formation in Brazil have provided fossilized bird coprolites containing preserved Ascaridoidea eggs, specifically showing early embryonic development stages.
  • * The discovery highlights the ecological interactions between piscivorous birds and nematodes, indicating that ancient Brazilian environments supported the evolution of these parasites during the Paleogene period.

The relationship between transcription and protein expression is complex. We identified polysome-associated RNA transcripts in the somata and central terminals of mouse sensory neurons in control, painful (plus nerve growth factor), and pain-free conditions (Nav1.7-null mice).

Polar environments pose extreme challenges for life due to low temperatures, limited water, high radiation, and frozen landscapes. Despite these harsh conditions, numerous macro and microorganisms have developed adaptive strategies to reduce the detrimental effects of extreme cold. A primary survival tactic involves avoiding or tolerating intra and extracellular freezing.

Antarctic temperature variations and long periods of freezing shaped the evolution of microorganisms with unique survival mechanisms. These resilient organisms exhibit several adaptations for life in extreme cold. In such ecosystems, microorganisms endure the absence of liquid water and exhibit resistance to freezing by producing water-binding molecules such as antifreeze proteins (AFP).
