Cortical and subcortical activities during food rewards versus social interaction in rats by Florbela Rocha-Almeida, Ana R. Conde-Moro, Antonio Fernández-Ruiz, José M. Delgado-García, Agnès Gruart

“…Abstract Balancing food foraging with social interaction is crucial for survival and reproduction in many species of mammals. We wanted to investigate the reward preferences in adult male rats by allowing them to lever-press for both food and social rewards (interaction with another rat), while their performance and electrophysiological activities were recorded. …”

Determination of mutagenicity of chemical compounds, physical factors and environmental pollutants by the Drosophila melanogaster wing somatic mutation and recombination test by L. P. Zakharenko, I. K. Zakharov

“…There are modifications to SMART, based on elevated cytochrome P450 expression, allowing more reliable extrapolation of the test results to mammals. Detailed recommendations for the use of the SMART method on the wing cells of Drosophila melanogaster presented in the paper can be used as a textbook in practice and for training purposes.…”

THE DIVERSITY OF LIFE CYCLES AND THEIR ROLE IN THE EVOLUTION OF BASIC CHROMOSOME NUMBERS IN VARIOUS ORGANISMS by A. I. Shchapova

“…It is believed that the BCN of the placental ancestor was x = 40–50; of the marsupial ancestor, 16–20; and of oviparous mammals, 5–6. The significant difference among BCNs of the ancestors of the three mammal subclasses, which diverged tens of millions of years ago, suggests that the evolution of BCNS in the ancestors of marsupials and placentals involved polyploidy followed by dysploidy.The species analyzed demonstrate a correlation between life cycle type and BCN.The results indicate that the genetic difference in sex determination systems were the main cause of BCN variation in the species analyzed, differing in life cycle type. …”

Development and Structural Variety of the Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycans-Contained Extracellular Matrix in the Mouse Brain by Noriko Horii-Hayashi, Takayo Sasagawa, Wataru Matsunaga, Mayumi Nishi

“…Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are major components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the brain. In adult mammals, CSPGs form the specialized ECM structure perineuronal nets (PNNs) that surround somata and dendrites of certain types of neurons. …”

Roles of core fucosylation modification in immune system and diseases by Qiu Pan, Xiao-Lian Zhang

“…Core fucosylation, catalyzed by α1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8), is an important N-glycosylation modification process that attaches a fucose residue via an α1,6-linkage to the core N-acetylglucosamine of N-glycans in mammals. Research over the past three decades has revealed the critical role of FUT8-mediated core fucosylation modification in various physiological and pathological processes, including cell growth, adhesion, receptor activation, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), tumor metastasis and infections. …”

Identifying optimal substrate classes of membrane transporters. by Andreas Denger, Volkhard Helms

“…Furthermore, we implemented a pipeline for creating training datasets of transmembrane transporters that cover a wide range of organisms, including plants, bacteria, mammals, and single-cell eukaryotes. For a dataset containing 98.1% of transporters from S. cerevisiae, the pipeline automatically reduced the number of functional annotations from 287 to 11 GO terms that could be classified with a median pairwise F1 score of 0.87±0.16. …”
