Embryos of robertsonian translocation carriers exhibit a mitotic interchromosomal effect that enhances genetic instability during early development. by Samer Alfarawati, Elpida Fragouli, Pere Colls, Dagan Wells

“…Surprisingly, the ICE was clearly detected in early embryos from female carriers, but not in oocytes, indicating the possibility of mitotic rather than the previously suggested meiotic origin. These findings have implications for our understanding of genetic stability during preimplantation development and are of clinical relevance for patients carrying a Robertsonian translocation. …”

Early Personal Quranic Manuscripts in Light of the Sana’a Palimpsest (DAM 01-27.1): An Analytical and Foundational Study by Adel Ibrahim Abushaar

“…This evidence substantiates the ruling that private muṣḥafs contained anomalous readings (shādh), with high probabilities of omissions, alterations, and personal renditions, thus cannot be considered a “lost original text” as Orientalists suggested. Originality: The originality of this research lies in its exploration of how Islamic sources engage with private muṣḥafs and the rulings associated with them. …”

An ex vivo uterine system captures implantation, embryogenesis, and trophoblast invasion via maternal-embryonic signaling by Takehiro Hiraoka, Shizu Aikawa, Daisuke Mashiko, Tatsuya Nakagawa, Hiroki Shirai, Yasushi Hirota, Hiroshi Kimura, Masahito Ikawa

“…By expanding the ex vivo findings, embryonic AKT1 transduction ameliorated defective implantation of uterine origin by a COX-2 inhibitor in vivo. The system, proposing a potentially standard platform of embryogenesis, offers a concise, reproducible, and scalable screening system, suggesting significant implications for developmental biology and therapeutic strategies for recurrent implantation failure in assisted reproductive technology.…”

Meta-analysis: on average, undergraduate students’ intelligence is merely average by Bob Uttl, Victoria Violo, Lacey Gibson

“…According to a widespread belief, the average IQ of university students is 115 to 130 IQ points, that is, substantially higher than the average IQ of the general population ( M = 100, SD = 15). We traced the origin of this belief to obsolete intelligence data collected in 1940s and 1950s when university education was the privilege of a few. …”
