Due to the interconnectedness of aquatic ecosystems through the highly effective marine
and atmospheric transport routes, all aquatic ecosystems are potentially vulnerable to …

Background Enormous clinical and biomedical researches have demonstrated that
microbes are crucial to human health. Identifying associations between microbes and …

Although the concept that cancer is caused by mutations has been widely accepted, there
still are ample data deprecating it. For example, embryonic cells displaced in non-embryonic …

Microbes perform critical functions in corals, yet most knowledge is derived from the photic
zone. Here, we discover two mollicutes that dominate the microbiome of the deep-sea …

The inability to control cell proliferation results in the formation of tumors in many
multicellular lineages. Nonetheless, little is known about the extent of conservation of the …

Recent theoretical advances in the One Health approach have suggested that cancer
pathologies should be given greater consideration, as cancers often render their hosts more …

Hydras are freshwater cnidarians widely used as a biological model to study different
questions such as senescence or phenotypic plasticity but also tumoral development. The …

Lung cancer is a malignancy with high incidence and mortality worldwide. Previous studies
have shown that the gut microbiome plays an important role in the development and …

While it is often assumed that oncogenic processes in metazoans can influence species
interactions, empirical evidence is lacking. Here, we use the cnidarian Hydra oligactis to …

Although tumors can occur during the lifetime of most multicellular organisms and have the
potential to influence health, how they alter life-history traits in tumor-bearing individuals …
