- Resistance to DNA damage and enhanced DNA repair capacity in the hypoxia-tolerant blind mole rat Spalax carmeli
Highlighted Article: The cells of the blind mole rat Spalax carmeli show enhanced DNA repair capacity and resistance to several genotoxic agents, which may contribute to its longevity and reduced cancer rates.
- Current versus future reproduction and longevity: a re-evaluation of predictions and mechanisms
Summary: This paper critically reviews the effects and physiological mechanisms that reproduction could have on bioenergetic capacity to better understand how a reproductive event could affect future reproduction and/or survival.
- Reversibility of developmental heat and cold plasticity is asymmetric and has long-lasting consequences for adult thermal tolerance
Summary: Using Drosophila melanogaster, we show how developmental plasticity of cold tolerance is completely reversible in the adult stage, while adult acclimation in heat tolerance is constrained by developmental temperature.
