Mitogenomic Architecture of Atlantic Emperor (Actinopterygii: Spariformes): Insights into the Lineage Diversification in Atlantic Ocean.

The evolutionary history of emperors, particularly in the Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific Oceans, remains largely unmapped. This study explores the maternal lineage evolution of Lethrinids by examining the complete mitogenome of , which is endemic to the Eastern Atlantic Ocean. Utilizing advanced next-generation sequencing, we found that the mitogenome spans 16,789 base pairs and encompasses 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and an AT-rich control region (CR).

Immunomodulatory Effects of Combined Ethanol Extracts of and on Cellular- and Humoral-Mediated Immunity in Wistar Rats and Mice.

Previous studies have shown that the extracts of Valeton & Zijp rhizomes and Lour. leaves could modulate cellular- and humoral-mediated immunity in macrophages and animal models. In the present study, the immunomodulatory effects of combined ethanol extracts of rhizomes and leaves were investigated on cellular- and humoral-mediated immunity in Wistar rats and mice.

LncRNA SNHG10 suppresses the development of doxorubicin resistance by downregulating miR-302b in triple-negative breast cancer.

Unlike other types of breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) does not respond to therapies targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) or hormone therapy, and the prognosis of patients with TNBC is usually poor. The role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 10 (SNHG10) has been investigated in many types of cancer, but its role in TNBC is unknown. This study aimed to explore the role of SNHG10 in TNBC in the context of doxorubicin treatment, a common therapy for TNBC.

Contact Reactions between Individuals of the Coral-killing sponge, .

Outbreaks of the coral-killing sponge Rützler and Muzik, 1993 have become a threat to corals and result in coral reef deterioration. This species has an increasing distribution in the Indo-Pacific Ocean and thrives in patches on some reefs in Okinawa, Japan. However, the dispersal process and mechanisms involved remain unknown.

Snails associated with the coral-killing sponge Terpios hoshinota in Okinawa Island, Japan.

Terpios hoshinota is a thin encrusting sponge that overgrows live scleractinian corals and it is linked to coral loss in many reefs. However, our knowledge of the species associated with this sponge species is poor. During a periodical survey of T.
