Article Synopsis
  • Meiotic recombination is crucial for proper chromosome separation and increasing genetic diversity, but its characteristics across different species are not fully understood.
  • A study was conducted on the meiotic recombination process in five yeast species, revealing that Saccharomyces yeasts have higher recombination rates compared to non-Saccharomyces yeasts.
  • The research also found that crossover interference exists only in Saccharomyces species, indicating different regulatory mechanisms in budding yeasts and showing that recombination hotspots are not conserved outside the Saccharomyces genus.

Cutting costs by progressively decreasing substrate thickness is a common theme in the crystalline silicon photovoltaic  industry for the last decades, since drastically thinner wafers would significantly reduce the substrate-related costs. In addition to the technological challenges concerning wafering and handling of razor-thin flexible wafers, a major bottleneck is to maintain high absorption in those thin wafers. For the latter, advanced light-trapping techniques become of paramount importance.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by synovial hyperplasia and cartilage/bone destruction with systemic comorbidities. Despite advances in understanding the aetiology of RA and novel biologic drugs, a substantial number of individuals with RA remain intolerant or resistant to these therapies. In this context, mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC)-based therapy has emerged as an innovative therapeutic alternative to address unresolved treatment issues for patients with RA thanks to the immunomodulatory properties of these cells.
