Cardiac Regenerative Potential of Spiny Mice (Acomys cahirinus) Manifests Itself in Expansion of Pacemaker Myocardium and Predominance of Noncanonical, IK, ACH-Independent Pathway of Cholinergic Regulation in Cardiac Pacemaking
Doklady Biological Sciences. 2025. Vol. 520. P. 73–79.
Spiny mice (Acomys cahirinus) exhibit the ability to regenerate the damaged myocardium and functionalindices of the heart. demonstrated in various models of cardiac pathologies. Cardioregenerative potentialof Acomys is associated with partial preservation of the neonatal phenotype of cardiac tissue in adult animals.The electrophysiology and mechanisms regulating the heart rhythm in Acomys are extremely poorlyunderstood. The EEG was recorded in vivo and bioelectrical activity of the supraventricular myocardium wasevaluated and mapped in spiny mice. Pacemaker-type action potentials were detected in a significant part ofthe right atrium, and primary activation involved approximately 41% of the atrium surface in Acomys. Cholinergicstimulation caused pronounced suppression of automaticity and changed the activation pattern of thepacemaker myocardium. IKAch-independent mechanisms mediated the cholinergic inhibition of automaticityin Acomys. Thus, the cardioregenerative potential of spiny mice manifests itself in delocalization andnonclassical regulation of the cardiac pacemaker.

EEG recordings are often affected by the loss or corruption of individual channels due to electrode detachment, poor scalp contact, or external interference. Such channels must be accurately reconstructed before further analysis. In this study, we investigate Next-Generation Reservoir Computing (NG-RC) as a data-driven approach for reconstructing corrupted EEG channels and compare its performance with ...

Bacterial chromosomes are tightly packed in the cells due to interactions with specific nucleoid-associated proteins. Among them, the IHF protein draws attention due to its presumed influence on intracellular crystallization processes, leading to bacterial resistance to drugs. The crystal structure of the IHF heterodimer is known only in complex with a short DNA fragment, whereas ...

Musical training has a significant impact on brain organization, leading to functional and structural
adaptations that enhance auditory, visual, motor, and cognitive processes. This study investigates how
extensive musical training shapes functional brain connectivity by comparing professional musicians and
non-musicians. Using EEG phase-locking value (PLV) analysis, we examined neural synchronization across
alpha, beta, and gamma frequency ranges during music ...

Whole-slide histology images (WSIs) can exceed 100 k × 100 k pixels, making direct pixel-level segmentation infeasible and requiring patch-level classification as a practical alternative for downstream WSI segmentation. However, most approaches either treat patches independently, ignoring spatial and biological context, or rely on deep graph models prone to oversmoothing and loss of local tissue ...

The double-stranded RNA editing enzyme ADAR1 connects two forms of genetic programming, one based on codons and the other on flipons. ADAR1 recodes codons in pre-mRNA by deaminating adenosine to form inosine, which is translated as guanosine. ADAR1 also plays essential roles in the immune defense against viruses and cancers by recognizing left-handed Z-DNA and ...

Drosophila homeotic gene Abdominal-B (Abd-B) is controlled throughout development by four infraabdominal (iab) regulatory domains, the active or repressed state of which is determined by initiators that have parasegment-specific enhancer activity at an early stage of embryonic development. For this reason, it has long been assumed that the enhancer activity and initiation function of these elements are synonymous. ...

The specification of abdominal segments A5 to A9 depends on the expression of Abdominal-B (Abd-B), which is regulated by four infraabdominal domains: iab-5 through iab-8,9. Each iab domain contains an initiation element that determines its active state, along with enhancers responsible for tissue-specific activation of Abd-B. These iab domains function autonomously due to their flanking boundaries, Fab-6, Fab-7 and Fab-8, which both block crosstalk between adjacent iab domains (insulator function) and facilitate long-range ...

Background/Objectives: Transcriptional promoters play an essential role in regulating protein expression. Promoters with weak activity generally lead to low levels of expression, resulting in fewer proteins being produced. At the same time, strong promoters are commonly used in studies using transgenic organisms as model systems. This approach can have various negative consequences for the organism, ...

While their performance is typically evaluated using genomic benchmark datasets, it remains unclear which LLM is best suited for specific downstream tasks, particularly for generating whole-genome annotations.

Although Brachiopoda represent a relatively small phylum, they exhibit significant morphological diversity. One of the central issues in understanding the evolution of the ancestral brachiopod body plan pertains to the homologies among body compartments across the different brachiopod subphyla: Craniiformea, Linguliformea, and Rhynchonelliformea. In this context, the pedicle stands out as one of the most ...
