Scientists recreate mouse from gene older than animal life

Published in Nature Communications, an international team of researchers has achieved an unprecedented milestone: the creation of mouse stem cells capable of generating a fully developed mouse using genetic tools from a unicellular organism, with which we share a common ancestor that predates animals. This breakthrough reshapes our understanding of the genetic origins of stem […]

Biodiversity in the city: Designing urban spaces for humans and animals

Animals and plants also live and thrive on public squares. This creates opportunities for greater biodiversity and well-being for the human population. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna. They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more […]

Best methods for growing Atlantic sea scallops

A new study from the University of Maine’s Aquaculture Research Institute (ARI) and Darling Marine Center is helping to refine best practices for growing Atlantic sea scallops (Placopecten magellanicus), a species of increasing interest to Maine’s aquaculture sector. Published in the academic journal Aquaculture, the research compares two scallop farming methods, ear-hanging and lantern net […]

Near chromosome-level genome of the Mojave poppy bee

Scientists at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and university research partners developed a near chromosome-level genome for the Mojave poppy bee, a specialist pollinator of conservation concern, according to a recent Journal of Heredity paper. Putting together the Mojave poppy bee genome is part of the Beenome100 project, a […]

Scientists discover a stunning new golden-tongued lizard in China

Researchers in China have identified a previously unknown species of mountain lizard living in the upper Dadu River Valley, deep within the Hengduan Mountains of Sichuan Province. Years of Field Surveys Lead to a Surprise Starting in 2018, the research team carried out extensive field surveys in the upper reaches of the Dadu River. During […]

Surprising number of environmental pollutants in hedgehogs

Lead, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, plastic additives, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals. This is what researchers at Lund University in Sweden found when they collected dead hedgehogs to investigate the environmental pollutants found in urban environments. Previous research has investigated the presence of heavy metals in hedgehogs from other urban areas in Europe and […]

European potato genome decoded: Small gene pool with large differences

A research team has decoded the genome of historic potato cultivars and used this resource to develop an efficient method for analysis of hundreds of additional potato genomes. Potatoes are a staple food for over 1.3 billion people. But despite their importance for global food security, breeding successes have been modest. Some of the most […]

Scientists engineer yellow-seeded camelina with high oil output

Efforts to achieve net-zero carbon emissions from transportation fuels are increasing demand for oil produced by nonfood crops. These plants use sunlight to power the conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide into oil, which accumulates in seeds. Crop breeders interested in selecting plants that produce a lot of oil look for yellow seeds. In oilseed crops […]

Do smells prime our gut to fight off infection?

Many organisms react to the smell of deadly pathogens by reflexively avoiding them. But a recent study from the University of California, Berkeley, shows that the nematode C. elegans also reacts to the odor of pathogenic bacteria by preparing its intestinal cells to withstand a potential onslaught. As with humans, nematodes’ guts are a common […]

Origin of chromosome 12 trisomy surge in human induced pluripotent stem cells

Trisomy 12 is the most common whole-chromosome abnormality in human pluripotent stem cells. Conventionally, this acquired aneuploidy is ascribed to a rare single-cell event followed by selective growth advantage. Instead, we show that trisomy 12 emerges simultaneously in a very high percentage of cells in critical transition passages. Mis-segregation and incorporation of chromosome 12 into […]

Racing through C. elegans mitosis using cyclin B3

Racecar drivers use left-foot braking, i.e., simultaneously engaging brake and throttle, to carefully balance acceleration and traction when navigating chicanes. In this issue, Lara-Gonzalez et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202308034) show that C. elegans embryos employ the molecular equivalent of left-foot braking to faithfully speed through mitosis.

A multifunction murine Col4a1 allele reveals potential gene therapy parameters for Gould syndrome

Basement membranes (BMs) are specialized extracellular matrix (ECM) structures essential for organ morphogenesis, architecture, and function. BM composition and properties vary between tissues, developmental stages, and disease states, and there is only a rudimentary understanding of BM dynamics. Here, we introduce a versatile mouse model carrying a multifunctional dual-color fluorescence tagged allele with knockout potential […]

SARS-CoV-2 specific adaptations in N protein inhibit NF-κB activation and alter pathogenesis

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) exhibit differences in their inflammatory responses and pulmonary damage, yet the specific mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we discovered that the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein inhibits the activation of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway and downstream signal transduction by impeding the assembly […]
