Glacier Melt Leads to Redrawing of the Italian-Swiss Border – State of the Planet

Glaciers have historically determined the boundary between Italy and Switzerland in the Alps. Now, their melting has led the two countries to redraw a small section of their border over the past year and revived concerns of how climate change might impact mountain communities around the world in the coming years. Glaciers form the borders […]

Single mutation in H5N1 influenza surface protein could enable easier human infection

A single modification in the protein found on the surface of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 influenza virus currently circulating in U.S. dairy cows could allow for easier transmission among humans, according to new research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and published today in the journal Science. The study results […]

Conservation paradox: Invasive species are often threatened in their native range

Non-native species introduced by humans are among the main causes of global species decline – they were partly responsible for 60 percent of the species that have become extinct worldwide in recent decades. In Central Europe, non-native mammals include species such as the Norway rat, the mouflon and the mink. Now a study led by […]

Non-canonical CDK6 activity promotes cilia disassembly by suppressing axoneme polyglutamylation

Tubulin polyglutamylation is a posttranslational modification that occurs primarily along the axoneme of cilia. Defective axoneme polyglutamylation impairs cilia function and has been correlated with ciliopathies, including Joubert Syndrome (JBTS). However, the precise mechanisms regulating proper axoneme polyglutamylation remain vague. Here, we show that cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6), but not its paralog CDK4, localizes to […]

The truth behind Europe’s floods

Media coverage has criticised government failures to adequately prepare and react to Valencia’s floods – from building in flood-prone areas, to the dismantling of the Valencian Emergency Unit, to the delayed disaster response. These critiques are right – but they miss the crux of the issue. When we pave over forests to expand our cities, drain coastal wetlands […]

From one gene switch, many possible outcomes

The University of Pennsylvania’s Aman Husbands, of the School of Arts & Sciences, uncovered surprising ways transcription factors, the genetic switches for genes, regulate plant development. Their findings reveal how subtle changes in a lipid-binding region called the START domain can dramatically alter gene regulation, paving the way for advancements in crop engineering, synthetic biology, […]

Four Value Propositions for Climate Action Under a New Presidential Administration – State of the Planet

There’s no mincing words: The forthcoming transition of United States presidential administrations is sending shockwaves through the climate advocacy community.  Many say that it highlights an almost definitive exponential increase in emissions. Carbon Brief suggests an additional 4 billion tons of emissions by 2030; the MIT technology review asserts this is an emissions trajectory we […]
