Researchers discover how opsin 3, a light-sensitive brain protein, regulates food consumption in mice

Scientists discovered years ago that the hypothalamus — which helps to manage body temperature, hunger, sex drive, sleep and more — includes neurons that express the protein opsin 3 (OPN3). Far less clear, however, was what this light-sensing protein does so deep inside the brain. A study published in PNAS suggests that OPN3 plays an […]

Rethinking the dodo | ScienceDaily

Researchers are setting out to challenge our misconceptions about the Dodo, one of the most well-known but poorly understood species of bird. In a paper published today [16 August 2024] in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society researchers from the University of Southampton, Natural History Museum (NHM) and Oxford University Museum of Natural History […]

Study shows how plant roots access deeper soils in search of water

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water reserves. Plant scientists from the University of Nottingham, in collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, have identified how abscisic acid (ABA), a plant hormone known for its role in drought response, influences root […]

Need for standardized measurement methods in gene therapy

In a finding with implications for one of the most promising cutting-edge medical treatments, researchers evaluated several measurement techniques commonly used in gene therapy. The study determined that one of the most popular techniques was “problematic” and requires further development and standardization. In gene therapy, a person’s faulty genes are either replaced or modified to […]

Genetic switch could help control leaf growth in poor soils

A new study has identified a genetic circuit in plants that controls individual leaf growth and allows the plants to adapt to their environment. The findings could help the development of more drought-resistant crops. Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Biosciences investigated the growth of maizeleaves in plants cultivated in three different soils […]

Brain test shows that crabs process pain

Researchers from the University of Gothenburg are the first to prove that painful stimuli are sent to the brain of shore crabs providing more evidence for pain in crustaceans. EEG style measurements show clear neural reactions in the crustacean’s brain during mechanical or chemical stimulation. In the search for a better welfare of animals that […]

Traditional forest medicinal plant ghost pipe used differently today

Despite a long history of traditional medicinal use in the United States, the collection, consumption and efficacy of the peculiar forest plant aptly named ghost pipe, scientific name Monotropa uniflora, remains a mystery. Now, with social media and the internet driving a resurgence in the harvest and economic trade of the parasitic species — which […]

Dangerous bacterial biofilms have a natural enemy

If your teeth have ever felt fuzzy after skipping a brushing, you’ve encountered biofilm — a slimy bacterial layer that clings to surfaces. In medical settings, biofilms make infections harder to treat when they form protective shields for bacteria on devices like catheters and implants. UC Riverside scientists have now discovered a chemical that plants […]

Fruit-eating mastodons? Ancient fossils confirm a long-lost ecological alliance

Ten thousand years ago, mastodons vanished from South America. With them, an ecologically vital function also disappeared: the dispersal of seeds from large-fruited plants. A new study led by the University of O’Higgins, Chile, with key contributions from IPHES-CERCA, demonstrates for the first time — based on direct fossil evidence — that these extinct elephant […]

Microorganisms can travel long distances in the troposphere

Analysis of air samples taken at altitudes of up to 3,000 metres above Japan has revealed the presence of a vast range of viable bacteria and fungi transported by air masses originating more than 2,000 kilometres away, in regions enriched with fertilisers and pesticides. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences […]

Scientists warn of bat virus just one mutation from infecting humans

A group of bat viruses closely related to the deadly Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) could be one small mutation away from being capable of spilling over into human populations and potentially causing the next pandemic. A recent study published in the journal Nature Communicationsexamined an understudied group of coronaviruses known as merbecoviruses — […]

Migrating starlings are no copycats

Young, naïve starlings are looking for their wintering grounds independently of experienced conspecifics. Starlings are highly social birds throughout the year, but this does not mean that they copy the migration route from each other. By revisiting a classic ‘displacement’ experiment and by adding new data, a team of researchers at the Netherlands Institute of […]

Quantitative imaging of loop extruders rebuilding interphase genome architecture after mitosis

How cells establish the interphase genome organization after mitosis is incompletely understood. Using quantitative and super-resolution microscopy, we show that the transition from a Condensin to a Cohesin-based genome organization occurs dynamically over 2 h. While a significant fraction of Condensins remains chromatin-bound until early G1, Cohesin-STAG1 and its boundary factor CTCF are rapidly imported […]

FDA Clears Investigational New Drug application for muscular dystrophy treatment

MINNEAPOLIS and ST. PAUL, Minn., July 17, 2024. Today, Myogenica, a University of Minnesota startup company, announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for MyoPAXon — an induced pluripotent stem cell-derived muscle stem cell product to regenerate skeletal muscle. A pending clinical trial would evaluate the safety, tolerability […]

Immunotherapy Approach Shows Potential in Some People with Metastatic Solid Tumors

July 11, 2024 — Early findings from a small clinical trial provide evidence that a new cellular immunotherapy approach may be effective in treating metastatic solid tumors. In the trial, researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) genetically engineered normal white blood cells, known as lymphocytes, from each patient to produce receptors that recognize […]
