Aim To assess phylogeographic structure, phylogenetic diversity and historical diversification processes in ammotrechid camel spiders from the Baja California Peninsula. Location Baja California Sur, Mexico. Time Period Miocene to Pleistocene. Major Taxa Studied Ammotrechid camel spiders (Solifugae: Ammotrechidae). Methods We conducted the first phylogeographic analysis of Baja California Sur ammotrechid camel spiders using mi...
Coral reef systems on the southeastern Cuban shelf are exposed to rapid warming and increasingly frequent marine heatwaves (MHWs). However, the physical drivers of local sea-surface temperature (SST) variability remain poorly quantified. The present study examines seasonal-to-decadal SST variability in and around the Jardines de la Reina National Park (JRNP) and investigates the extent to which atmospheric–ocean processes and...
Main conclusion Virus-like particles (VLP) from hepatitis C virus were successfully produced in Nicotiana benthamiana plants for the first time, by co-expressing three viral proteins (Core, E1 and E2) in a polycistron-like arrangement. Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a global health challenge, underscoring the need for a preventive vaccine. Virus-like particles (VLP) offer a safe alternative, as they resemble native v...
Purpose Systematic collection and analysis of antimicrobial resistance data from key bacterial pathogens is essential to contribute to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this work was to survey the drug resistance on clinically relevant organisms stratified according to age, gender, clinical specimens and facilities. Methods Microbiological data were collected from 55 centers across 24 states in Mexico between...
Functional connectivity alterations in spinocerebellar ataxia type 10: insights from gray matter atrophyNARA Subscribed
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 (SCA10) is a rare, inherited neurological disease caused by an expansion of the non-coding ATTCT pentanucleotide repeat in the ATAXIN 10 gene. It is characterized by cerebellar ataxia and epilepsy. Previous research has demonstrated extensive white and gray matter degeneration, particularly in the cerebellum. However, the impact of the SCA10 mutation on functional connectivity (FC) remains unexpl...

Tau Protein Disrupts Mitochondrial Homeostasis in a Yeast Model: Implications for Alzheimer’s DiseaseNARA Subscribed
The microtubule-associated protein tau plays a central role in neurodegenerative diseases, called tauopathies, but the mechanism involved remains incompletely understood. Here, we used Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system to investigate the consequences of expressing the shortest human tau isoform 0N3R. After transfected, we detected widespread cellular distribution of tau and phosphorylation at key pathological residues...
Bacterial membrane lipids are typically characterised by fatty acid bilayers linked through ester bonds, whereas those of Archaea are characterised by ether‐linked isoprenoids forming bilayers or monolayers of membrane‐spanning lipids known as isoprenoidal glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs). However, this understanding has been reconsidered with the identification of branched GDGTs (brGDGTs), which are membrane‐s...
