Alzheimer's-related peptide amyloid-β plays a conserved role in angiogenesis. by D Joshua Cameron, Cooper Galvin, Tursun Alkam, Harpreet Sidhu, John Ellison, Salvadore Luna, Douglas W Ethell

“…Early versions of the amyloid hypothesis considered Aβ something of an undesirable byproduct of APP processing that wreaks havoc on the human neocortex, yet evolutionary conservation--over three hundred million years--indicates this peptide plays an important biological role in survival and reproductive fitness. …”

Lokiarchaea are close relatives of Euryarchaeota, not bridging the gap between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. by Violette Da Cunha, Morgan Gaia, Daniele Gadelle, Arshan Nasir, Patrick Forterre

“…Our analysis suggests that the three lokiarchaeal EF2 proteins have a chimeric organization that could be due to contamination and/or homologous recombination with patches of eukaryotic sequences. …”

Ecomodernism – defending a new humanist approach to nature by Patrick Giddy

“…I first outline Ferry’s account of the contemporary ecology landscape. Three anti-humanist approaches to nature are considered: the pre-modern supposition of intentionality in non-human living beings; deep ecology’s attribution of an equal functionality to humans and non-humans in the ecosystem; and evolutionary biology’s reductionist version of ethics. …”
