Parity influences postpartum adaptations in the maternal gut microbiota by Zharkyn Jarmukhanov, Elizaveta Vinogradova, Nurislam Mukhanbetzhanov, Samat Kozhakhmetov, Deniza Khassenbekova, Almagul Kushugulova

“…We identified parity-specific signatures, with first-time mothers showing enrichment in Dysosmobacter welbionis, Candidatus Saccharibacteria, and Anaerotruncus species. Functional analysis revealed distinct metabolic reprogramming patterns, including increased amino acid biosynthesis and modified fermentation pathways supporting postpartum recovery. …”

Loss of neuropeptidergic regulation of cholinergic transmission induces homeostatic compensation in muscle cells to preserve synaptic strength. by Jiajie Shao, Jana F Liewald, Wagner Steuer Costa, Christiane Ruse, Jens Gruber, Mohammad S Djamshedzad, Wulf Gebhardt, Alexander Gottschalk

“…Here, we assessed the role of neuropeptide signaling in the plasticity of NMJ function in Caenorhabditis elegans. We show that the CAPS (Ca2+-dependent activator protein for secretion) ortholog UNC-31, which regulates exocytosis of dense core vesicles, affects both pre- and post-synaptic functional properties, as well as NMJ-mediated locomotion. …”

Clathrin is spindle-associated but not essential for mitosis. by Joana Borlido, Greg Veltri, Antony P Jackson, Ian G Mills

“…Here we test whether the recruitment of clathrin to the spindle is indicative of a critical functional contribution to mitosis.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>Previously a chicken pre-B lymphoma cell line (DKO-R) was developed in which the endogenous clathrin heavy chain alleles were replaced with the human clathrin heavy chain under the control of a tetracycline-regulatable promoter. …”
