Over the past decades, number of evidences has accumulated that demonstrates the importance of genomic introgression between relatively distant eukaryote species, including the introgression of teleost fish species; the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and the nine-spined stickleback (Pungitius pungitius). The whole-genome datasets of both teleost species give reasons for suggesting that the marine population of nine-spined stickleback increases its adaptive potential to the marine environment through introgression with the anadromous three-spined stickleback. These findings demand a reinterpreting of the mechanisms of evolution towards a process in which organisms acquire new traits not only through longterm accumulation and selection of spontaneous mutations, but also via introgression from other species and ecological forms.

Letter recognition is assumed to involve several levels of analysis, including coarse tuning for category and novelty and more fine tuning for specific features, related to letter orientation. We employed an oddball fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) paradigm with magnetoencephalography (Elekta VectorView, 306 sensors) to study neural discrimination responses in the source space. Using contrasts ...

Single amino acid substitutions in the ATP-binding domain of ACVRL1, a key receptor in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway, are frequently classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), complicating molecular diagnosis for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). Since aberrant ATP binding disrupts downstream SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation, we employed molecular dynamics ...

Background Cardiac fibrosis represents a significant health burden, with endothelial dysfunction and damaged
perivascular microenvironment increasingly recognized as key contributors to fibrotic remodeling. The urokinase
plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), a critical component of the urokinase system, plays a pivotal role in vascular
remodeling and fibrosis. While prior evidence indicates that uPAR deficiency leads to microvascular dysfunction and
perivascular fibrosis, ...

Motor imagery (MI) allows individuals to mentally simulate movements without execution, engaging neural pathways that overlap with those used during real actions. However, how imagery perspective influences corticospinal excitability across different effectors remains unclear. Using neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we compared kinesthetic (KMI), first-person visual (VMI-1PP), and third-person visual (VMI-3PP) imagery of elbow flexion-extension ...

We present a multimodal dataset containing electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiography (ECG), and video recordings from 49 participants. Each participant completed a single session lasting approximately 45 minutes. During each session they performed five tasks: resting state, inward concentration (focusing on the center of the forehead), outward concentration (visual search), and mind-wandering. EEG data were recorded from ...

Multidrug resistance (MDR) remains one of the principal challenges in cancer chemotherapy, necessitating new strategies to restore drug efficacy. In this study we developed and characterize a redox-responsive nanoplatform based on trithiocyanuric acid and polyethylene glycol (TTCA-PEG NPs) as a potential tool to overcome MDR and provide a biocompatible delivery system for conventional antitumor drugs. ...

Introduction:
While self-referential attention is thought to enhance interoceptive sensitivity, its effect on cardiac modulation of corticospinal excitability remains unexplored. This pilot study investigated how viewing one’s own face (self-face processing) modulates the cardiac-phase coupling of motor output and whether this heart-brain coupling depends on interoceptive accuracy (heartbeat perception).
Methods:
In 15 healthy adults, motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) were ...

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB), a transcriptionally driven pediatric malignancy, exhibits a remarkable clinical and biological heterogeneity. Two major subtypes, adrenergic and mesenchymal, are differentially governed by distinct subsets of transcription factors that constitute the core regulatory circuitry (CRC). The adrenergic subtype is often associated with MYCN amplification and is particularly aggressive and therapy-resistant, underscoring the need ...

Copper–organic compounds are being investigated as antitumor candidates. Besides their efficacy as cytotoxic agents alone, the oxidative potential of electrochemical Cu2+-to-Cu1+ transition emerges as an attractive approach for elimination of tumor cells otherwise resistant to chemotherapy.

Background. Individual activation maps based on brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data cannot yet be applied to refine a patient's diagnosis and prognosis. However, tracking activation dynamics in the same patient during the course of treatment or rehabilitation can be useful for assessing their efficacy.
