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 […]

New gene drive reverses insecticide resistance in pests… then disappears

Insecticides have been used for centuries to counteract widespread pest damage to valuable food crops. Eventually, over time, beetles, moths, flies and other insects develop genetic mutations that render the insecticide chemicals ineffective. Escalating resistance by these mutants forces farmers and vector control specialists to ramp up use of poisonous compounds at increasing frequencies and […]

Scientists uncover new way viruses fight back against bacteria

A microscopic discovery will not only enable scientists to understand the microbial world around us but could also provide a new way to control CRISPR-Cas biotechnologies. An international team of researchers led by Professor Peter Fineran from the University of Otago and Dr Rafael Pinilla-Redondo from the University of Copenhagen has published a study in […]

A new twist: The molecular machines that loop our chromosomes also twist DNA

Scientists from the Kavli Institute of Delft University of Technology and the IMP Vienna Biocenter discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they now discovered that these motors also put significant twists […]

Researchers determine new genetic threat components for persistent HPV infections

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the second commonest cancer-causing virus, accounting for 690,000 cervical and different cancers every year worldwide. Whereas the immune system normally clears HPV infections, people who persist can result in most cancers, and a brand new discovering means that sure girls could have a genetic susceptibility for persistent or frequent HPV infections.

How the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus enters our cells

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, in collaboration with JLP Well being and others, have recognized how the tick-borne Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus enters our cells. The outcomes are printed in Nature Microbiology and are an vital step within the growth of medication in opposition to the lethal illness. Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHF virus) is unfold […]

Scientists reprogram ant behavior using brain molecules

From the bright lights of cities that don’t sleep — where people hustle and bustle through the night to keep subways, servers, and supply chains alive — to the whisper-dark understory of tropical forests where ants hum in syncopated lines, the planet’s most intricate societies hinge on round-the-clock cooperation and finely tuned roles. Within Atta […]

Why elephants never forget but fleas have, well, the attention span of a flea

Researchers at the Complexity Science Hub and Santa Fe Institute have developed a model to calculate how quickly or slowly an organism should ideally learn in its surroundings. An organism’s ideal learning rate depends on the pace of environmental change and its life cycle, they say. Every day, we wake to a world that is […]

Consensus paper: Carcinogenicity of gene therapies

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine, Gene Therapy Program, and Moderna, have shown that repeated administration of lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA therapy significantly extended survival and reduced serum leucine levels in a mouse model of maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). Click here to read the article now. The researchers, led by James Wilson, MD, […]

Optogenetic and chemical genetic tools for rapid repositioning of vimentin intermediate filaments

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are a key component of the cytoskeleton, essential for regulating cell mechanics, maintaining nuclear integrity, organelle positioning, and modulating cell signaling. Current insights into IF function primarily come from studies using long-term perturbations, such as protein depletion or mutation. Here, we present tools that allow rapid manipulation of vimentin IFs in the […]

Vacuoles provide the source membrane for TORC1-containing signaling endosomes

Organelle biogenesis is fundamental to eukaryotic cell biology. Yeast signaling endosomes were recently identified as a signaling platform for the evolutionarily conserved Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (TORC1) kinase complex. Despite the importance of signaling endosomes for TORC1-mediated control of cellular metabolism, how this organelle is generated has been a mystery. Here, we developed a […]

Public fails to appreciate risk of consuming raw milk, survey finds

PHILADELPHIA – Consuming raw milk or products made with it is riskier than drinking pasteurized milk. Yet fewer than half of U.S. adults know that drinking raw milk is less safe than drinking pasteurized milk and many Americans do not understand the risks of consuming raw milk, according to the Annenberg Public Policy Center’s latest […]
