    Protective effect of Mediterranean-type glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency against Plasmodium vivax malaria

    Ghulam R Awab, Fahima Aaram ... Nicholas J White
    The Mediterranean variant of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency confers a strong gene-dose proportional protective effect against symptomatic Plasmodium vivax malaria in the Pashtun ethnic group.

    Pathogenic shifts in endogenous microbiota impede tissue regeneration via distinct activation of TAK1/MKK/p38

    Christopher P Arnold, M Shane Merryman ... Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado
    An innate immune system signaling pathway in planarians has a dual role: it enhances apoptosis during bacterial infection, but represses apoptosis during tissue regeneration in the absence of infection.

    Wnt, Ptk7, and FGFRL expression gradients control trunk positional identity in planarian regeneration

    Rachel Lander, Christian P Petersen
    Signaling molecules expressed in overlapping body-wide transcriptional gradients determine central axis positional identity in whole-body regeneration.

    Mapping single-cell atlases throughout Metazoa unravels cell type evolution

    Alexander J Tarashansky, Jacob M Musser ... Bo Wang
    Mapping single-cell atlases throughout Metazoa systematically characterizes cell type diversity and the evolution of their associated gene expression programs.

    Identification of putative enhancer-like elements predicts regulatory networks active in planarian adult stem cells

    Jakke Neiro, Divya Sridhar ... Aziz Aboobaker
    Predicted gene regulatory networks active in planarians adult stem cells provide testable hypotheses about the control of pluripotency and differentiation in animals.

    Stem cells and fluid flow drive cyst formation in an invertebrate excretory organ

    Hanh Thi-Kim Vu, Jochen C Rink ... Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado
    Planarians provide evidence for a common evolutionary origin of vertebrate and invertebrate excretory systems and provide a novel experimental model to study human kidney diseases.

    Evolutionary footprints of a cold relic in a rapidly warming world

    Eva Wolf, Emmanuel Gaquerel ... Marcus A Koch
    Evolutionary dynamics of polyploid plants of the genus Cochlearia during past periods of rapid climate change indicate increased rates of speciation and diversification in response to pronounced glacial cycles and cold periods in particular.

    Contrasting effects of Western vs Mediterranean diets on monocyte inflammatory gene expression and social behavior in a primate model

    Corbin SC Johnson, Carol A Shively ... Noah Snyder-Mackler
    Modern human diet patterns alter primate behavior and monocyte gene expression leading to monocyte polarization–experimental evidence of the evolutionary mismatch hypothesis.

    Ongoing repair of migration-coupled DNA damage allows planarian adult stem cells to reach wound sites

    Sounak Sahu, Divya Sridhar ... Aziz Aboobaker
    Adult stem cells acquire increased DNA damage as they migrate to a wound site and require active DNA repair mechanisms for normal migration.

    The effect of weight loss following 18 months of lifestyle intervention on brain age assessed with resting-state functional connectivity

    Gidon Levakov, Alon Kaplan ... Iris Shai
    Assessing predicted fMRI-based functional brain age before and after a lifestyle intervention suggests that weight loss, improved liver biomarkers, decreased liver fat, and visceral and deep subcutaneous adipose tissues correlate with attenuated brain aging.
