Broad repression of DNA repair genes in senescent cells identified by integration of transcriptomic data.

Cellular senescence plays a significant role in tissue aging. Senescent cells, which resist apoptosis while remaining metabolically active, generate endogenous DNA-damaging agents, primarily reactive oxygen species. Efficient DNA repair is therefore crucial in these cells, especially when they undergo senescence escape, resuming DNA replication and cellular proliferation.

Novel off-context experience constrains hippocampal representational drift.

The hippocampus forms unique neural representations for distinct experiences, supporting the formation of different memories. Hippocampal representations gradually change over time as animals repeatedly visit the same familiar environment ("representational drift"). Such drift has also been observed in other brain areas, such as the parietal, visual, auditory, and olfactory cortices.

Shedding light on biodiversity: reviewing existing knowledge and exploring hypothesised impacts of agrophotovoltaics.

The growing demand for energy and the shift towards green energy solutions have led to the conversion of open spaces and agricultural fields into photovoltaic (PV) power plants, exacerbating the "food-energy-environment" trilemma. Agrophotovoltaics (APVs), a dual-use system combining agriculture and energy production on the same land, presents a potential solution to this challenge. While the environmental impacts of ground-mounted utility-scale PV (USPV) power plants and the effects of APV systems on agricultural yields have been extensively studied and reviewed, the implications for wildlife and biodiversity remain largely unexplored.

Arthropod removal in wheat fields enhanced yield regardless of natural habitat patch proximity.

Natural habitat patches can be essential in conserving biodiversity and providing ecosystem services for agroecological systems. However, adopting a land-sharing approach requires a deep understanding of the agricultural costs and benefits associated with the existence of adjacent natural habitat patches. We used 17 paired natural habitat patch-wheat field replicates to test the effects of distance from the natural patches and removal of ground-dwelling arthropods from the field on the wheat yield.

"I want to succeed for her, so I can assure a better future for her": Parenting in Bedouin society in Israel.

Bedouin society in Israel is characterized as a marginalized minority (Muslim) society struggling to maintain its uniqueness in a Western (Jewish) dominant society. In this unique qualitative study, we aimed to shed light on the distinctive characteristics of Bedouin parenting practices in the context of social change by exploring Bedouin parents' accounts of factors contributing to or hampering their parenthood. Ninety-nine parents ( = 33.
