Mechanical load reduced cancer cell growth in heart tissue
This research indicates that mechanical load can reduce cancer cell proliferation in the myocardium, or heart muscle, and that the authors link this effect to changes in chromatin accessibility and the mechanosensor Nesprin-2.

High UVB irradiance speeds DNA lesion accumulation in larvae
This research indicates that high UVB irradiance causes DNA lesions to accumulate faster than lower irradiance even when the total daily dose is the same.

DNA replication errors are linked to small inverted triplications
This research indicates that DNA replication errors drive genome-wide small inverted triplication dynamics, with FEN1 strongly associated with their incidence.

Fibroblast lipid cues drive site-specific epithelial cancer invasion
This research indicates that fibroblasts from different tissues transfer distinct lipids to squamous cell carcinoma cells, and these lipids help determine how much the cancers proliferate and invade.

Late Neanderthals in northwestern Europe were closely related
This research indicates that late Neanderthals in northwestern Europe were more closely related to one another than to other contemporary Neanderthals, and some carried DNA from an older Neanderthal lineage.
