    Experimental evolution for the recovery of growth loss due to genome reduction

    Kenya Hitomi, Yoichiro Ishii, Bei-Wen Ying
    Diversified genetic and transcriptional changes in parallel evolved Escherichia coli populations for improved growth revealed that the evolution complementing genome reduction was like all roads leading to Rome.

    Loss of tumor suppressor TMEM127 drives RET-mediated transformation through disrupted membrane dynamics

    Timothy J Walker, Eduardo Reyes-Alvarez ... Lois M Mulligan
    TMEM127 depletion alters membrane dynamics, promoting cell surface accumulation and constitutive activity of growth factor receptors, and ultimately providing a novel paradigm for oncogenesis through aberrant receptor localization and signaling.

    Synthetic analysis of trophic diversity and evolution in Enantiornithes with new insights from Bohaiornithidae

    Case Vincent Miller, Jen A Bright ... Michael Pittman
    Enantiornithine birds reached similar dietary diversity to modern birds in a similar amount of time many millions of years earlier, but how exactly they did that requires further research.
