Dispersal is an important life history trait that plays a key role in the demography and evolution of species. We employed a combined approach of DNA sequencing and transmission electron microscopy to examine the changes in the microbiome during the ontogeny and dispersal of the coral-excavating sponge Thoosa mismalolli. The results show that sponge can acquired their associated bacteria via both vertical (VT) and horizontal transmission (HT).

Background: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a debilitating condition that affects the cervical spine, leading to neurological impairments. While the neural mechanisms underlying CSM remain poorly understood, changes in brain network connectivity, particularly within the context of static and dynamic functional network connectivity (sFNC and dFNC), may provide valuable insights into disease pathophysiology. This study investigates brain-wide connectivity alterations in CSM patients using both sFNC and dFNC, combined with machine learning approaches, to explore their potential as biomarkers for disease classification and progression.

Human-caused conversion of natural habitat areas to developed land cover represents a major driver of habitat loss and fragmentation, leading to reorganization of biological communities. Although protected areas and urban greenspaces can preserve natural systems in fragmented landscapes, their efficacy has been stymied by the complexity and scale-dependency underlying biological communities. While migratory bird communities are easy to-study and particularly responsive to anthropogenic habitat alterations, prior studies have documented substantial variation in habitat sensitivity across species and migratory groups.

Functional cartilaginous tissues can potentially be engineered by bringing together numerous microtissues (µTs) and allowing them to fuse and re-organize into larger, structurally organized grafts. The maturation level of individual microtissues is known to influence their capacity to fuse, however its impact on the long-term development of the resulting tissue remains unclear. The first objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the maturation state of human bone-marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hBM-MSCSs) derived microtissues on their fusion capacity and the phenotype of the final engineered tissue.

The actin cytoskeleton serves an important, but poorly characterized, role in controlling granule exocytosis. The dynamic nature of actin remodeling allows it to act both as a barrier to prevent indiscriminate granule release and as a facilitator of membrane fusion. In its capacity to promote exocytosis, filamentous actin binds to components of the exocytotic machinery through actin binding proteins, but also through direct interactions with SNAREs.
