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, […]

One step 4× and 12× 3D-ExM enables robust super-resolution microscopy of nanoscale cellular structures

Super-resolution microscopy has become an indispensable tool across diverse research fields, offering unprecedented insights into biological architectures with nanometer scale resolution. Compared with traditional nanometer-scale imaging methods such as electron microscopy, super-resolution microscopy offers several advantages, including the simultaneous labeling of multiple target biomolecules with high specificity and simpler sample preparation, making it accessible to […]

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 […]

KPNA3 regulates histone locus body formation by modulating condensation and nuclear import of NPAT

The histone locus body (HLB) is a membraneless organelle that determines the transcription of replication-dependent histones. However, the mechanisms underlying the appropriate formation of the HLB in the nucleus but not in the cytoplasm remain unknown. HLB formation is dependent on the scaffold protein NPAT. We identify KPNA3 as a specific importin that drives the […]

Israeli bombings destroy lives – and nature

These attacks, deemed war crimes by international NGOs, have also destroyed 1,900 hectares of farmland and rendered another 1,200 hectares abandoned.   Lebanon has lost 47,000 olive trees, thousands of animals in livestock, and 1,200 hectares of forest. “Olive trees have always been targeted because they are deeply tied to the land and its people,” says […]
