In silico Structural and Functional Characterization of an…

Actinoalloteichus hoggarensis is a rare bacterial species that was isolated from the Algerian Saharan desert and is known for producing biologically active compounds. Despite its potential, little is understood about the enzymes it produces, including endoglucanases. These cellulase enzymes break down cellulose, the primary structural component of plant cell walls that provides strength and rigidity. […]

Disrupting ‘communication’ with plants could limit soybean cyst nematode infections

Targeting a newly discovered vulnerability in the signals that cyst nematodes use to infect plant roots could be a powerful method for reducing the damage the parasitic worms cause in crops such as soybeans, according to a study co-authored by an Iowa State University professor. Researchers identified a single protein in cyst nematodes that triggers […]

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 […]

Hematological and Biochemical Indices of a Local Rabbit…

Rabbit feed in Algeria is still based exclusively on commercial pelleted diets, but the recent use of non-conventional ingredients in feed formulation is becoming more frequent, and several studies were carried out on the incorporation of local raw materials in rabbit feed worldwide. However, studies related to the incorporation of Jujube are nonexistent. In this […]

Secret to crocodylian longevity | ScienceDaily

Researchers examined teeth and skulls of 99 extinct crocodylomorph species and 20 living crocodylian species to reconstruct their dietary ecology and identify characteristics that helped some groups persist through two mass extinctions. They discovered that one secret tocrocodylian longevity is their remarkably flexible lifestyles, both in what they eat and the habitat in which they […]

An Efficient Protein Extraction Method from Astragalus…

The first step of the proteomic study is the extraction and the success of this technique was based mainly on the choice of the best extraction. The purpose of this study was to determine the simplest and lowest-cost method of total protein extraction. Initially, various extraction methods were performed for protein extraction from roots of […]

Unlocking the genetic basis of animal behavior using fruit flies

Understanding how genes influence complex behaviors remains one of biology’s most fascinating challenges. Now, however, in a recent study, researchers from Japan compiled a comprehensive dataset documenting the behaviors of over 30,000 fruit flies across 105 genetically distinct strains. This valuable resource captures individual and group behaviors under various conditions, providing unparalleled insights into the […]

Exploring the Anti-Inflammatory Potential of Phytochemicals…

This study delves into the comprehensive evaluation of phytochemicals extracted from Anvillea radiata, with a focus on their potential anti-inflammatory applications. High-performance liquid Chromatography analysis reveals the dominance of catechin in the aqueous extract, alongside other compounds such as syringic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, and vanillic acid, as well as quercetin-3-β-D-glucoside and rutin in smaller quantities. […]

Drug pollution alters salmon migration

In the largest study of its kind to date, a team of international researchers has investigated how pharmaceutical pollution affects the behaviour and migration of Atlantic salmon. The study, led by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, revealed that commonly detected environmental levels of clobazam — a medication often prescribed for sleep disorders — increased […]

SOD1 is delivered to lysosomes via autophagy to maintain lysosomal function and integrity

The gene encoding superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is often mutated in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), affecting motor neurons. Compared with ALS-associated mutant SOD1, the function of WT SOD1 is less explored. We demonstrate that during starvation, WT and mutant SOD1 are transported into lysosomes. Genome-wide CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) screening identified autophagy-related proteins and the […]

DNA from the deep reveals a hidden ocean “superhighway”

A world-first study led by Museums Victoria Research Institute has revealed that beneath the cold, dark, pressurized world of the deep sea, marine life is far more globally connected than previously imagined. Published on July 23 in Nature, this landmark study maps the global distribution and evolutionary relationships of brittle stars (Ophiuroidea), the ancient, spiny animals […]
