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 […]

Soil warming experiments challenge assumptions about climate change

A study examining the effects of higher temperatures on soil shows that warming alone does not increase levels of carbon dioxide emitted from the soil. Instead, higher temperatures combined with more added carbon – and more nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus – led to higher carbon dioxide levels released from the soil. The findings provide […]

Scientists just found rare spores inside a fossil older than dinosaurs

Brazilian paleobotany has just solved an enigma: the redefinition of a fossil plant described decades ago in southern Brazil and the creation of a new genus, Franscinella, to accommodate the species now called Franscinella riograndensis (Salvi et al.) Carniere, Pozzebon-Silva, Guerra-Sommer, Uhl, Jasper et. Spiekermann comb. nov. The study is part of the master’s thesis […]

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 […]

Simple light trick reveals hidden brain pathways in microscopic detail

Every tissue in the human body contains exceptionally small fibers that help coordinate how organs move, function and communicate. Muscle fibers guide physical force, intestinal fibers support the motion of the digestive tract, and brain fibers carry electrical signals that allow different regions to exchange information. Together, these intricate fiber systems help shape the structure […]

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 […]

Climate and land use change threaten traditional food sources in Russia’s Far East

The distribution of traditional wild food sources in the Republic of Sakha could change significantly, affecting the diets and incomes of Indigenous rural communities who depend on them. Climate- and land use change could significantly alter the make-up and availability of wild traditional foods in the vast Russian Far East, a region that is home […]

700,000 years ahead of their teeth: The carbs that made us human

As early humans spread from lush African forests into grasslands, their need for ready sources of energy led them to develop a taste for grassy plants, especially grains and the starchy plant tissue hidden underground. But a new Dartmouth-led study shows that hominins began feasting on these carbohydrate-rich foods before they had the ideal teeth […]

Human actions likely cause insect color change

New Zealand’s native stoneflies have changed colour in response to human-driven environmental changes, new research shows. Just published in the journal Science, the University of Otago study provides arguably the world’s most clear-cut case of animal evolution in response to change made by humans. Co-author Professor Jon Waters, of the Department of Zoology, says the […]

Scientists discover why anacondas stayed giants for 12 million years

A research group led by the University of Cambridge examined giant anaconda fossils found in South America and determined that these snakes reached their full body size about 12.4 million years ago. According to their analysis, anacondas have remained exceptionally large ever since. During the period from 12.4 to 5.3 million years ago, known as […]

Fish adjust reproduction in response to predators

Some species of fish can evolve their egg-laying habits in response to predators in the area in order to survive, according to new research from The University of Texas at Arlington. It has long been observed that organisms modify their traits, including reproductive patterns, in response to changes in their environment. This type of evolutionary […]

Two plant species invent the same chemically complex and medically interesting substance

The elucidation of the biosynthetic pathway of ipecacuanha alkaloids shows how two distantly related plant species could develop the same substance independently. Plants produce an enormous abundance of natural products. Many plant natural products are ancestry-specific and occur only in certain plant families, sometimes only in a single species. Interestingly, however, the same substances can […]

Diverse microtubule-binding repeats regulate TPX2 activities at distinct locations within the spindle

TPX2 is an elongated molecule containing multiple α-helical repeats. It stabilizes microtubules (MTs), promotes MT nucleation, and is essential for spindle assembly. However, the molecular basis of how TPX2 performs these functions remains elusive. Here, we systematically characterized the MT-binding activities of all TPX2 modules individually and in combinations and investigated their respective contributions both […]

LLP1 is a pyrophosphatase involved in homeostasis/quality control of dolichol-linked oligosaccharide

Dolichol-linked oligosaccharide (DLO) is the precursor for asparagine (N)-linked protein glycosylation. DLO synthesis can be impaired by genetic and environmental factors, leading to the accumulation of various immature DLO intermediates that are subsequently cleaved into phosphorylated oligosaccharides (POSs). Despite the fact that its activity has been known since the 1970s, the identity of the enzyme […]

A new role for intelligent tutors powered by AI in brain surgery? 

Neurosurgery is perhaps one of the most demanding professions in healthcare. Surgeons spend long hours performing operations where expert performance means the difference between a good and bad patient outcome. While operative injuries are rare, when they occur, they can have serious, and lifelong consequences.    Neurosurgery is perhaps one of the most demanding professions in […]
