Unlike most eukaryotes that use telomerase for telomere maintenance, <i>Drosophila</i> relies on retrotransposable elements-specifically <i>HeT-A</i>, <i>TAHRE</i>, and <i>TART</i> (collectively referred to as HTT)-which are regulated and precisely targeted to chromosome ends. <i>Drosophila</i> telomere protection is mediated by a set of fast-evolving proteins, termed terminin, which bind to chromosome termini without sequence specificity, balancing DNA damage response factors to avoid erroneous repair mechanisms. This unique telomere capping mechanism highlights an alternative evolutionary strategy to compensate for telomerase loss. The modulation of recombination and transcription at <i>Drosophila</i> telomeres offers insights into the diverse mechanisms of telomere maintenance. Recent studies at the population level have begun to reveal the architecture of telomere arrays, the diversity among the HTT subfamilies, and their relative frequencies, aiming to understand whether and how these elements have evolved to reach an equilibrium with the host and to resolve genetic conflicts. Further studies may shed light on the complex relationships between telomere transcription, recombination, and maintenance, underscoring the adaptive plasticity of telomeric complexes across eukaryotes.</p>","PeriodicalId":10494,"journal":{"name":"Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142853176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This perspective is targeted to scientists and engineers interested in 3D bioprinting, but from the point of view of cells and tissues as mechanically active living materials. The dynamic forces generated by cells present unique challenges compared to conventional manufacturing modalities but also offer profound opportunities through their capacity to self-organize.

By bequeathing the notion of allelism to biology, Mendelism shows how two difficult conceptual issues for evolutionary theory can be resolved. The first issue concerns the notion of population. By definition, evolutionary change is change in the composition of a population, but what is the relevant definition of \"population\"? The second issue concerns Darwin's notion of \"struggle for existence.\" Is this struggle an essential part of evolution by natural selection or not?
