    The genomic consequences of hybridization

    Benjamin M Moran, Cheyenne Payne ... Molly Schumer
    A synthesis of recent hybridization literature reveals emerging patterns in the evolution of genomes after hybridization, processes proposed to explain those patterns, and important open questions to direct future hybrid genomics research.

    Micron-scale geometrical features of microtubules as regulators of microtubule organization

    Nandini Mani, Sithara S Wijeratne, Radhika Subramanian
    Micron-scale geometrical features of individual microtubule polymers and polymer networks encode information that guides the self-organization of microtubules into specialized structures for diverse cellular functions such as cell division and signaling in eukaryotic cells.

    Perinatal development of innate immune topology

    Philipp Henneke, Katrin Kierdorf ... Mathias Hornef
    At the transition from intrauterine to postnatal life, drastic environmental alterations are mirrored by changes in cellular immunity, which are in part immune cell intrinsic and have lasting health impact.

    Sex differences in biological aging with a focus on human studies

    Sara Hägg, Juulia Jylhävä
    Biological aging processes and age-related diseases demonstrate sexual dimorphism where complex interactions between underlying aging mechanisms and sex chromosomes and hormones are seen in humans and animals.

    Sensing the world and its dangers: An evolutionary perspective in neuroimmunology

    Aurora Kraus, Katherine M Buckley, Irene Salinas
    The investigation of neuroimmunology in non-model organisms is critical to diversify the field and identify primordial principles that govern neuroimmune communication across taxa.
