Evolution by natural selection is a scientific law and not just a theory by Daniel J.M. Crouch, Walter F. Bodmer

“…The developing knowledge of prokaryotic microorganisms and the discovery of DNA or RNA as the fundamental basis of inheritance in all living organisms, together with Mendel’s laws, now provide the four basic conditions for evolution by natural selection, namely reproduction that is stable, but allows for variation that can increase fitness in the broadest sense. …”

Protocol for the purification and analysis of nuclear UFMylated proteins by Pudchalaluck Panichnantakul, Marlene Oeffinger

“…Summary: Protein UFMylation regulates numerous cellular processes including ribosome quality control and nuclear DNA repair. Here, we present a technique to isolate nuclei and purify UFMylated proteins under denaturing non-reducing conditions from commonly used mammalian cell line models such as hTERT-RPE1, HEK293, U2OS, and HCT116 cells. …”

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): progress towards a better understanding and treatment of the syndrome by Mimouni, Nour El Houda, Giacobini, Paolo

“…However, the underlying mechanisms of its transmission remain unknown, thus limiting the development of effective therapeutic strategies.This article highlights how an altered fetal environment (prenatal exposure to high levels of anti-Müllerian hormone) can contribute to the onset of PCOS in adulthood and lead to the transgenerational transmission of neuroendocrine and metabolic traits through alterations in the DNA methylation process.The originality of the translational findings summarized here involves the identification of potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of the syndrome, in addition to the validation of a promising therapeutic avenue in a preclinical model of PCOS, which can improve the management of patients suffering from the syndrome.…”
