Zinc in Health and Disease Conditions
Zinc, the second most prevalent trace element in the human body, is crucial for numerous physiological processes. It acts as a signaling molecule, modulating cellular pathways, gene expression, and enzyme activity. Zinc plays a vital role in immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and antioxidant defense. In the brain, it regulates neuronal excitation and inhibition by modulating receptors like the glutamate receptor, which is essential for cognitive and motor function. However, zinc's role is complex, as both deficiency and excess can lead to pathological conditions. In neurological disorders, for example, zinc dysregulation contributes to seizures by disrupting the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission. Excessive intracellular zinc can lead to neurotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell death, while low zinc levels impair immune responses and promote inflammation. In cancer, metabolic diseases, and neurodegenerative conditions, altered zinc homeostasis can exacerbate disease progression. Thus, zinc's physiological functions are intricately tied to health and disease. Its dual nature-as both protective and potentially harmful-makes it a critical target for research looking to develop therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring the zinc balance in various pathological conditions. Understanding the fine regulation of zinc is key to harnessing its potential for disease prevention and treatment.
Genetics and Molecular Breeding of Fruit Tree Species
The global demand for horticultural crops with improved agricultural traits-such as enhanced fruit quality, higher yields, and increased resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses-is steadily rising. In this context, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the genetic basis underlying key agronomic traits is essential. However, genetic research and traditional breeding in fruit trees face significant challenges, including long juvenile phases, large plant sizes, and high levels of heterozygosity. Recent advancements in biotechnology and the emergence of genomics have opened up new avenues to overcome these limitations in conventional fruit tree breeding. The development of high-throughput genetic platforms, the availability of whole genome sequences, and the application of multi-omics approaches, along with genome-wide association studies (GWAS), have substantially advanced our understanding of the genetic architecture of traits of agronomic importance. In recent decades, biotechnological tools -such as molecular-based characterization, marker-assisted selection, and innovative breeding techniques including cisgenesis and genome editing- associated with the availability of efficient plant regeneration protocols are accelerating both the functional characterization of traits and the overall breeding process in fruit trees. This Reprint is part of the Special Issue "Genetics and Molecular Breeding of Fruit Tree Species", which aims to showcase the latest research and developments in the genetic and molecular breeding of fruit trees, focusing on the selection and creation of new genotypes with enhanced traits.
Nutrition and Gene Interaction
Over the past 15 years, nutrigenomics has established the relationship between genes, nutrition, and disease. This exciting research area shows that nutrition is not just about preventing deficiencies; it can also prevent and treat chronic illnesses like diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. By identifying how nutrients modulate cellular signaling pathways, diet can be used as a first line of defense against these chronic illnesses. This research helps inform dietary recommendations at the individual level and guide public dietary guidelines to reduce the prevalence of chronic illness.This Special Issue compiles recent research on how nutrients impact genetic expression, using methods like transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. It presents nine studies exploring gene-diet interactions across various health outcomes, highlighting the promise and complexity of nutrigenomics. The key findings presented include the role of fermented foods in reducing the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the influence of genetics on dietary needs and bone health, and the impact of early-life nutrition on long-term gene expression. The Special Issue also addresses the genetic regulation of liver, cardiovascular, and thyroid diseases, and the potential for personalized nutrition interventions to reduce disease risk.Overall, this reprint advocates for precision nutrition, leveraging genetic and epigenetic insights to create personalized dietary strategies for better health outcomes.

Dysbiosis of the Evolved Intestinal Microbiome
While it is clearly recognised that many non-communicable disorders are related to a disturbed microbiome (commonly called dysbiosis, a shortened term for microbiome failure: dysmicrobiosis), there is an absence of widely accepted underlying theories. The aim of this book is to show that all such disorders, be they weight gain, immune system disturbance, or poor mental health, stem from a single underlying problem: the failure to transfer key intestinal microbes from the mother to the new-born during birth. Furthermore, in contrast to the normal, exclusively bacterial approach, the book describes what might be called a "second generation" approach to the microbiome, that emphasises beneficial microeukaryotes acting to coordinate diverse bacterial functionality. Most importantly, lessons have been drawn to guide future research, the aim being to reintroduce these key microbes at the time of birth, alongside breast milk (bank milk if necessary) and before the immune system of the infant is fully established. If all goes as expected, not only can the present "triple plagues" of non-communicable disease be ameliorated more efficiently, but it should also be possible to banish such disease from future populations. Unfortunately, however, beneficial microeukaryotes will be hard to detect, while resistance-inducing oral antibiotics must be limited.

Textbook of Ion Channels Volume II
The Textbook of Ion Channels is a set of three volumes that provides a wide-ranging refer- ence source on ion channels for students, instructors and researchers. Ion channels are membrane proteins that control the electrical properties of neurons and cardiac cells; mediate the detection and response to sensory stimuli like light, sound, odor, and taste; and regulate the response to physical stimuli like temperature and pressure. In non-excit- able tissues, ion channels are instrumental for the regulation of basic salt balance that is critical for homeostasis. Ion channels are located at the surface membrane of cells, giving them the unique ability to communicate with the environment, as well as the membrane of intracellular organelles, allowing them to regulate internal homeostasis. Ion channels are fundamentally important for human health and diseases, and are important targets for pharmaceuticals in mental illness, heart disease, anesthesia, pain and other clinical appli- cations. The modern methods used in their study are powerful and diverse, ranging from single ion-channel measurement techniques to models of ion channel diseases in animals, and human clinical trials for ion channel drugs.Volume II starts with ion channel taxonomy and features coverage of major ion channel families, and describes the physiological role, structural components, gating mechanisms and biophysics, permeation and selectivity, regulation, pharmacology, and roles in dis- ease mechanisms. Channels in this volume include voltage-activated sodium, calcium and potassium channels, inward-rectifier and two-pore domain potassium channels, calcium- activated potassium channels, cyclic nucleotide-gated channels, pacemaker ion channels, chloride channels, ligand-gated receptors activated by acetylcholine, glutamate, 5-HT3, GABA and glycine, acid-sensing channels, P2X receptors, TRP channels, store-operated channels, pressure-activated piezo channels, ryanodine receptors, and proton channels.All three volumes give the reader an introduction to fundamental concepts needed to understand the mechanism of ion channels; a guide to the technical aspects of ion channel research; offer a modern guide to the properties of major ion channel families; and include coverage of key examples of regulatory, physiological and disease roles for ion channels.

Integrated Soil Management
Soil, as a living system, plays a fundamental role in sustainable development, making a decisive contribution to ecosystem services. Through its dynamics, it influences and is influenced by the contexts that surround it. In particular, through carbon farming practices, soil can contribute to carbon sequestration and thus mitigate the effects of climate change and consequent global warming. In this context, this special issue contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between the various soil dynamics and other dimensions, including socio-economic ones, from a perspective that can serve as a basis for integrated soil management. The contributions received are scientific insights that allow for an overall framework for agricultural production, soil composition, greenhouse gas emissions, and more sustainable development.
Art or Scribbles? in the Eye of the Beholder: The Evolutionary Emergence of Visual Communication
The book is about how art arose; and how it became what we call art today. How did art emerge from the relationships between people and the things they produce and the ideas of producers? How do people manipulate those relationships in their own society? How do outsiders work out the ways in which those relationships were used to make art? What is art and why are all people engaged with it in one way or another? From its very beginning, and everywhere, art has always been embedded in its cultural context--the contexts of the people who made and see it--and that context has often been ritual. The history of art confused "social and institutional changes" of view because western critics (or artists) sought to define the boundaries of art so tightly that ritual, purposeful or utilitarian works were excluded from it. In their definition, art only existed if the rituals of the original producers were stripped from the works or if the objects were appropriated away from the situation in which they were produced. The objects stripped from their context could then only be valued for their aesthetics. Art consists of relationships between people, things, and ideas in quite specific ways. Those relationships are discussed at length in this book. The book is aimed at artists, art historians and archaeologists, but also at the general public interested in art. It is intended both for people whose interest in art comes from knowledge of the art of all continents, and for those who have no knowledge.
Genetic Resources for Viticulture
The grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a species with great genetic diversity, mainly due to the history of grapevine cultivation and vegetative multiplication, which have allowed the conservation of cultivars for centuries. Throughout the history of viticulture, winegrowers have been selecting the grapevine varieties that have best adapted to their requirements, which shows that phytogenetic resources can be used to address the problems facing the viticulture sector. This Special Issue compiles several recently published scientific papers that contribute to expanding the knowledge of grapevine genetic resources. It includes papers related to the identification and agronomic, physiological, and enological characterization of local and new grapevine varieties, rootstocks, clones, and interspecific hybrids.
Taphonomy and Palaeoecology of Quaternary Vertebrates
Taphonomic studies allow for a better understanding of the processes of formation and preservation of fossil assemblages, and the identification of biases that can alter the palaeoenvironmental interpretations deduced from faunal lists. A taphonomic analysis of a fossil assemblage is, therefore, an essential prerequisite for subsequent palaeoecological studies. Palaeoecology, in turn, uses data from fossils to examine how organisms and their environments change throughout time. By studying patterns of evolution and extinction in the context of environmental change, palaeoecologists are able to examine concepts of vulnerability and resilience in species and environments at different geographic and temporal scales. The Quaternary period is well represented in geographically extensive and high-temporal-resolution records, and is of particular interest to human evolution. Vertebrate assemblages, whether accumulated by humans or non-human agents, are frequently well preserved in Quaternary palaeontological and archaeological deposits, especially in caves. In recent years, the number of and methods for taphonomic and palaeoecological analyses on Quaternary vertebrate assemblages have greatly developed, and here we highlight some works illustrating these advances, including the implementation of modern taphonomic referentials and experiments which are key to the adequate interpretation of fossil assemblages.

VI International Congress la ValSe-Food
The VI International Conference la ValSe-Food: Promoting biodiversity, sustainability, and food security through Ibero-American ancestral crops, organized by the International la ValSe-Food Network, was held from 23 to 25 September 2024 at the University of Lima, Peru. Ibero-American crops represent a diverse and resilient group of crops cultivated for thousands of years, largely unaltered by modern breeding techniques. These grains, which have deep-rooted histories as staple foods in various cultures around the globe, are now regaining prominence due to their superior nutritional value, unique flavors, and potential health benefits compared to modern crops. Rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds, they provide both culinary diversity and health advantages like improved digestion and reduced risk of non-communicable diseases. In addition to promoting safe, sustainable, and nutritious food systems, the ValSe-Food Network underscores the critical importance of biodiversity and addresses the growing challenges posed by climate change. The network recognizes ancient crops' crucial role in preserving biodiversity, with naturally selected genetic traits having been developed over centuries. These traits enhance climate adaptability, providing vital genetic resources for breeding resilient, climate-adaptive crops. By cultivating and preserving ancient grains, the network contributes to safeguarding essential genetic diversity in agriculture, ensuring that future generations have access to the resources needed to sustain food security, protect ecosystems, and withstand the escalating pressures of climate change.
