    Genetic parallels in biomineralization of the calcareous sponge Sycon ciliatum and stony corals

    Oliver Voigt, Magdalena V Wilde ... Gert Wörheide
    Discovery of calcarins in calcareous sponges highlights gene duplication and neofunctionalization as drivers of parallel biomineralization, offering insight into the independent evolution of calcification in early-diverging animals.

    Glia-mediated gut–brain cytokine signaling couples sleep to intestinal inflammatory responses induced by oxidative stress

    Alina Malita, Anne H Skakkebaek ... Kim Rewitz
    Gut-to-brain communication via glial cytokine signaling links intestinal oxidative stress to altered sleep patterns, highlighting how gut inflammation can influence brain function and restorative sleep behaviors essential for mental well-being.
