Senolytic-Resistant Senescent Cells Have a Distinct SASP Profile and Functional Impact: The Path to Developing Senosensitizers Open
The senescent cell (SC) fate is linked to aging, multiple disorders and diseases, and physical dysfunction. Senolytics, agents that selectively eliminate 30-70% of SCs, act by transiently disabling the senescent cell anti-apoptotic pathway…

Divergent selection and climate adaptation fuel genomic differentiation between sister species of <i>Sphagnum</i> (peat moss) Open
Background and Aims New plant species can evolve through the reinforcement of reproductive isolation via local adaptation along habitat gradients. Peat mosses (Sphagnaceae) are an emerging model system for the study of evolutionary genomic…

Clonality, local population structure and gametophyte sex ratios in cryptic species of the <i>Sphagnum magellanicum</i> complex Open
Background and Aims Sphagnum (peatmoss) comprises a moss (Bryophyta) clade with ~300–500 species. The genus has unparalleled ecological importance because Sphagnum-dominated peatlands store almost a third of the terrestrial carbon pool and…

Ancient Rapid Radiation Explains Most Conflicts Among Gene Trees and Well-Supported Phylogenomic Trees of Nostocalean Cyanobacteria Open
Prokaryotic genomes are often considered to be mosaics of genes that do not necessarily share the same evolutionary history due to widespread horizontal gene transfers (HGTs). Consequently, representing evolutionary relationships of prokar…

Sphagnum diabolicum sp. nov. and S. magniae sp. nov.; morphological variation and taxonomy of the “S. magellanicum complex” Open
Until a few years ago, Sphagnum magellanicum was understood to be a single widespread species with an intercontinental range. Recent work by Norwegian sphagnologists showed that S. magellanicum s.str. is restricted to southern South Americ…
