Arabidopsis cyclophilins direct intracellular transport of mobile mRNA via organelle hitchhiking
Plants convert external cues into mobile mRNAs to synchronize meristematic differentiation with environmental dynamics. These mRNAs are selectively...

Hitchhiking into a cell: flavonoids may produce complexes with transition metals for transmembrane translocation
Flavonoids are a group of food polyphenols that are delivered to the human body with plant foods. In recent years, these substances have attracted...

Farm to table: colistin resistance hitchhiking through food
Colistin is a high priority, last-resort antibiotic recklessly used in livestock and poultry farms. It is used as an antibiotic for treating...

Genome analyses of four Wolbachia strains and associated mitochondria of Rhagoletis cerasi expose cumulative modularity of cytoplasmic incompatibility factors and cytoplasmic hitchhiking across host populations
BackgroundThe endosymbiont Wolbachia can manipulate arthropod reproduction and invade host populations by inducing cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI)....

Microbial hitchhiking: how Streptomyces spores are transported by motile soil bacteria
Streptomycetes are sessile bacteria that produce metabolites that impact the behavior of microbial communities. Emerging studies have demonstrated...

Hitchhiking northwards: on the presence of the invasive skeleton shrimp Caprella scaura in the UK
Early detection of invasive species becomes particularly challenging in the case of small-sized, neglected or taxonomically challenging taxa. The...

Development of ionic liquid-coated PLGA nanoparticles for applications in intravenous drug delivery
Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) are a promising platform for medical applications in drug delivery. However, their use as drug carriers is limited by...

Hitchhiking or hang gliding? Dispersal strategies of two cereal-feeding eriophyoid mite species
Dispersal shapes the dynamics of populations, their genetic structure and species distribution; therefore, knowledge of an organisms’ dispersal...

Hitchhiking, collapse, and contingency in phage infections of migrating bacterial populations
Natural bacterial populations are subjected to constant predation pressure by bacteriophages. Bacteria use a variety of molecular mechanisms to...

Hitchhiking halophytes in wrack and sediment-laden ice blocks contribute to tidal marsh development in the Upper Bay of Fundy
Salt marshes are a type of coastal wetland that are affected by dynamic coastal processes. Ice blocks and wrack (mats of plant debris) regularly...

A potential hypothesis for 2019-nCoV infection therapy through delivery of recombinant ACE2 by red blood cell-hitchhiking
A novel infectious disease, caused by 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is responsible for the recent outbreak of severe respiratory disease. The...

Probability of the Emerald Ash Borer Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) Spreading by Flight in the Green Spaces along the M10 Highway from Moscow to St. Petersburg
AbstractThe emerald ash borer ( Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) was introduced to Moscow, from where it began active radial spreading since the...

An example for transatlantic hitchhiking by macrozoobenthic organisms with a research vessel
In 2019 the RV Meteor cruised from Guadalupe in April/May to Cape Verde in June/July and to Namibia in August/September. The distance is about...

Incipient speciation between host-plant strains in the fall armyworm
BackgroundRecent advancement in speciation biology proposes that genetic differentiation across the whole genome (genomic differentiation, GD) may...

Effects of Selection on Linked Variants
In the previous chapter, we explored the effect of selection on the targeted site in isolation from its genomic context—the sequence in which the...

Pan-cancer surveys indicate cell cycle-related roles of primate-specific genes in tumors and embryonic cerebrum
BackgroundDespite having been extensively studied, it remains largely unclear why humans bear a particularly high risk of cancer. The antagonistic...

Experimental Evolution to Understand the Interplay Between Genetics and Adaptation
Experimental evolution has grown to be a powerful and versatile tool to study the evolutionary dynamics of genetics. The principle is simple: cells...

Chromosome-level genome and population genomics reveal evolutionary characteristics and conservation status of Chinese indigenous geese
Geese are herbivorous birds that play an essential role in the agricultural economy. We construct the chromosome-level genome of a Chinese indigenous...
