Mules in the Antiquity of Southern Iberia revealed from proteomics
The management of equids in the Iberian Peninsula during the Iron Age (first millennium BCE) provides a key archaeological context for investigating the emerging stages of confluent breeding of horses ( Equus caballus ) and donkeys ( Equus asinus ). This scenario provided the ear...

Artificial Intelligence and LGBTQI+phobia: Algorithms of Exclusion or Tools of Inclusion?
Abstract Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) systems increasingly mediate online speech, shaping visibility, participation, and recognition in digital public spaces. For LGBTQI+ communities, AI-based content moderation operates within contexts marked by persistent homophobi...

NLRP1 Inflammasome is Associated to IL-18 in Familial Mediterranean Fever and MEFV Variants
Abstract “Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) (OMIM #249,100) is the most prevalent hereditary autoinflammatory disease globally, though it remains rare outside Mediterranean populations. FMF is caused by gain-of-function mutations in the MEFV gene, which encodes the immune regula...
