The genus in the North Atlantic comprises of long lived deep-waters species that have been extensively fished upon, and many stocks are severely depleted across the Atlantic. This is particularly evident for the species . In recent papers, cryptic species have been indicated within this genus and molecular markers are therefore needed to provide identification for the species, including the cryptic species as a basis for advice regarding management and rebuilding of the stocks.

- Cardiac rehabilitation programs can help patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) adopt healthier lifestyles, but there’s a need to explore strategies for reversing conditions like prediabetes and metabolic syndrome.
- The DIABEPIC-1 study evaluated a 6-month enhanced rehabilitation program combining exercise with nutritional interventions, such as a Mediterranean diet and reduced ultraprocessed food intake.
- Results showed high participation rates and significant health improvements, with half of the participants achieving prediabetes remission and 70% with metabolic syndrome also reaching remission by the end of the study.
Article Synopsis
- * Genetic analysis revealed three main groups of glacier lanternfish: one in the Mediterranean Sea, one from oceanic samples, and a third from Norwegian fjords, with the Mediterranean group showing significantly lower genetic variation.
- * The study indicates potential local adaptations in glacier lanternfish due to ocean currents and geographical separations, suggesting that conservation and management efforts should consider these genetic divisions among populations.
Background: Structured and supervised physical exercise and cognitive training are two efficient ways to enhance cognition in older adults. Performing both within a combined intervention could maximize their effect on cognition due to their potential synergy on brain functions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these interventions were particularly relevant due to the collateral impact of social restrictions regarding physical activity and the level of cognitive stimulation.

In aquaculture, triploidy can be induced as a biocontainment strategy, as it creates a reproductive barrier preventing farm-to-wild introgression, which is currently a major conservation issue for the industry. However, recent work suggests that triploidisation protocols may, on occasion, produce 'failed triploids' displaying diploidy, aneuploidy and aberrant inheritance.
