Doomed ants send a final scent to save their colony

Ant societies behave like tightly integrated “superorganisms,” where thousands of individuals work together in a way that resembles the coordinated activity of cells in a body. Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have found that terminally ill ant brood release a distinctive odor, similar to the way infected body cells send […]

A tiny ocean worm just revealed a big secret about how eyes evolve

A research team from the University of Vienna and the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven has uncovered how the eyes of adult marine bristleworms continue to increase in size throughout their entire lifespan. The work shows that this constant growth is powered by a ring of neural stem cells that resembles similar structures found in […]

Aligning Capital with Compliance and IP Value – Duane Morris Life Sciences Law

By Driscoll R. Urgate, P.A. Financing and exit transactions in the life sciences industry differ fundamentally from those in traditional technology or manufacturing sectors. Scientific risk, regulatory oversight, and intellectual property rights intersect at every stage of a company’s growth, from seed capital through commercialization and acquisition. Investors and acquirers do […]

242-million-year-old mini predator changes lizard evolution

A recently analyzed fossil from Devon is giving scientists a rare look at what the earliest members of the lizard lineage may have looked like, and the findings come with several unexpected twists, according to researchers at the University of Bristol. The work was published in Nature. Today, lizards and their close relatives, including snakes […]

Scientists reveal a hidden alarm system inside your cells

Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) researchers have uncovered how ribosomes are able to alert the cell when something is wrong. Ribosomes are best known as the cell’s protein builders. They attach to mRNA and travel along it, interpreting the genetic code and linking amino acids to form new proteins. Their role, however, extends beyond […]

Scientists discover a hidden deep sea hotspot bursting with life

Off the coast of Papua New Guinea, scientists have identified a previously unknown type of hydrothermal field where two different processes occur at the same time: hot hydrothermal fluids rise from below the seafloor while unusually large quantities of methane and other hydrocarbons escape from the sediments. This combination has not been documented anywhere else. […]

Archaeologists uncover a 2,000-year-old crop in the Canary Islands

Lentils currently cultivated in the Canary Islands have an unbroken local history that reaches back nearly 2,000 years. This remarkable continuity has been revealed by the first genetic analysis of archaeological lentils, conducted by researchers at Linköping University and the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in Spain. Because these lentils have been shaped […]

Tiny bee with devil horns discovered in Western Australia

A newly identified native bee with tiny devil-like “horns,” named Megachile (Hackeriapis) lucifer, has been documented in Western Australia’s Goldfields. Its discovery reveals how many of Australia’s native pollinators have yet to be studied or even recognized. The unusual species was spotted during targeted surveys of the critically endangered wildflower Marianthus aquilonarius, which grows only […]

Record sargassum piles trap sea turtle hatchlings on Florida beaches

Every year, sea turtles emerge from nests on Florida’s beaches and begin the difficult crawl from the sand to the sea — a journey that plays a major role in whether they survive. Along the way, hatchlings must steer past artificial lighting, scattered debris, and predators such as birds and crabs. Now another challenge has […]

Independent nuclear and organellar mechanisms determine apicoplast fate in malaria parasites

The apicoplast organelle of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, is essential for parasite replication, though its cell cycle regulation remains poorly understood. We developed a dynamic live-imaging platform with analytical capabilities to track subcellular structures throughout the parasite’s 48-h intraerythrocytic life cycle. Our analysis revealed four distinct morphological stages in apicoplast development that correlate with […]
