A cell fitness selection model for neuronal survival during development

Developmental cell death plays an important role in the construction of functional neural circuits. In vertebrates, the canonical view proposes a selection of the surviving neurons through stochastic competition for target-derived neurotrophic signals, imp ...

Drosophila melanogaster cloak their eggs with pheromones, which prevents cannibalism

Yury Tsybin, Laure Menin, Konstantin Nagornov

Oviparous animals across many taxa have evolved diverse strategies that deter egg predation, providing valuable tests of how natural selection mitigates direct fitness loss. Communal egg laying in nonsocial species minimizes egg predation. However, in cann ...

Mitocellular communication: Shaping health and disease

Johan Auwerx, Sébastien Robert Victor Herzig, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis

Throughout the animal kingdom, mitochondria are the only organelles that retain their own genome and the transcription and translation machineries that are all essential for energy harvesting. Mitochondria have developed a complex communication network, al ...

Vancomycin resistance plasmids affect persistence of Enterococcus faecium in water

Suzanne Marie Young

Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) cause 20,000 infections annually in the United States, most of which are nosocomial. Recent findings of VRE in sewage-contaminated surface waters demonstrate an alternate route of human exposure, and a possible settin ...

On Non-cooperative Genomic Privacy

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Amalio Telenti, Erman Ayday, Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert

Over the last few years, the vast progress in genome sequencing has highly increased the availability of genomic data. Today, individuals can obtain their digital genomic sequences at reasonable prices from many online service providers. Individuals can st ...

A Quantitative Test of Hamilton's Rule for the Evolution of Altruism

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Markus Waibel

The evolution of altruism is a fundamental and enduring puzzle in biology. In a seminal paper Hamilton showed that altruism can be selected for when rb − c>0, where c is the fitness cost to the altruist, b is the fitness benefit to the beneficiary, and r i ...
