Human development III: Bridging Brain-Mind and Body-Mind. Introduction to “Deep” (Fractal, Poly-Ray) Cosmology by Søren Ventegodt, Tyge Dahl Hermansen, Erik Rald, Trine Flensborg-Madsen, Maj Lyck Nielsen, Birgitte Clausen, Joav Merrick

“…The development of a mind that enables us to handle the outer physical world and survive makes a lot of sense from an evolutionary perspective; the problem is that the mental reason and linear logic reduces all phenomena to well-defined interacting objects, which might not exist from a deeper perspective of reality. …”

Comparative analysis of NR and NiR gene families reveals nitrite formation mechanisms in two Toona species by Yi Wei, Jianhua Dai, Yanru Fan, Hengfu Yin, Jun Liu, Xiaojiao Han

“…The exon–intron structures and conserved motifs of these genes were stringently conserved throughout evolutionary history. All the seven NR and NiR genes in both T. sinensis and T. ciliata harbor various cis-regulatory elements within their promoter sequences, which are associated with development, stress response, and hormonal regulation. …”

Preliminary Evidence of a Horizontal Transfer of Paramutation Phenomenon at the <i>pl1</i> Gene in Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) by Roberto Pilu, Martina Ghidoli, Alessia Follador, Alessandro Passera, Paola Casati, Ervane Laure Cheyep Dinzeu, Elena Cassani, Michela Landoni

“…This hereditary behavior facilitates the rapid dissemination of specific gene expression patterns or phenotypes within populations, disrupting the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium even without other evolutionary pressures. Despite extensive research, the molecular mechanisms underlying paramutation are still not fully understood, although numerous studies suggest the involvement of RNA-mediated changes in DNA methylation and in the chromatin structure of silenced genes. …”

Clinically oriented automatic three-dimensional enamel segmentation via deep learning by Wenting Yu, Xinwen Wang, Huifang Yang

“…Abstract Background Establishing accurate, reliable, and convenient methods for enamel segmentation and analysis is crucial for effectively planning endodontic, orthodontic, and restorative treatments, as well as exploring the evolutionary patterns of mammals. However, no mature, non-destructive method currently exists in clinical dentistry to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively assess the integrity and thickness of enamel chair-side. …”
