Scientists uncover a hidden universal law limiting life’s growth

A team of researchers, including a scientist from the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science Tokyo in Japan, has identified a new principle in biology that mathematically explains why the growth of living organisms slows down when nutrients become plentiful. This well-known phenomenon is referred to as the “law of diminishing returns.” […]

Adapting plasma membrane for mitotic cell rounding through Aurora A phosphorylation of numb

Cell rounding during mitosis necessitates adaptive remodeling of plasma membrane and cortical cytoskeleton. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly elucidated. Here, we have identified Numb phosphorylation as a pivotal mechanism in the membrane-cytoskeleton remodeling associated with mitotic cell rounding. Upon mitotic entry, Aurora A phosphorylates Numb, leading to the dissociation of Numb from plasma membrane. […]

Meet the desert survivor that grows faster the hotter it gets

In California’s Death Valley, where summer heat often surpasses 120 degrees Fahrenheit, survival appears almost impossible. Yet, among the cracked soil and intense sunlight, one native plant not only endures but flourishes. That plant, Tidestromia oblongifolia, has helped scientists at Michigan State University reveal how life can persist in such extreme conditions. Their findings offer […]

DNA in seawater reveals lost hammerhead sharks

A scientist at Florida International University (FIU) has created a revolutionary test that can detect small, hard-to-find hammerhead sharks without ever spotting them in the water — a breakthrough that could help save species on the edge of extinction. This innovative method identifies traces of the sharks’ presence without catching or disturbing them. Acting like […]

Sunflowers may be the future of "vegan meat"

A collaboration between Brazilian and German researchers has led to a sunflower-based meat substitute that’s high in protein and minerals. The new ingredient, made from refined sunflower flour, delivers excellent nutritional value and a mild flavor. Tests showed strong texture and healthy fat content, suggesting great potential for use in the growing plant-based food sector.

Bni5 regulates and coordinates septin architecture and myosin-II functions at the cell division site

The spatiotemporal coordination of septins and myosin-II in processes like cytokinesis is not well understood. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Bni5 links the myosin-II heavy chain Myo1 to the septin hourglass at the bud neck prior to cytokinesis, but the underlying mechanisms and functions remain unclear. Here, we show that Bni5 binds septin filaments, the septin-associated kinase […]

Scientists shocked to find E. coli spreads as fast as the swine flu

New research has revealed that Escherichia coli (E. coli), a bacterium that normally lives in the human gut, can spread through populations at a rate comparable to the swine flu. For the first time, researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the University of Oslo, the University of Helsinki, Aalto University in Finland, and their collaborators […]

A 480-million-year-old parasite still infects oysters today

A surprising new study has revealed that a parasite still troubling modern oysters first began infecting shell-dwelling sea creatures hundreds of millions of years before the dinosaurs vanished. Researchers reporting in iScience used high-resolution 3D imaging to examine 480-million-year-old fossil shells from Morocco, a site famous for its exceptionally preserved marine life. The scans uncovered […]

Birds, not wind, brought life to Iceland’s youngest island

When the volcanic island of Surtsey emerged from the North Atlantic Ocean in 1963, it presented scientists with a rare natural experiment: a chance to watch life begin on untouched land. For many years, ecologists assumed that plants reached remote islands mainly through special traits that allowed long-distance travel, such as fruits that attract birds […]

Scientists teach bacteria the octopus’s secret to camouflage

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego have come closer to understanding one of nature’s most fascinating abilities: the art of disguise. Octopuses, squids, cuttlefish, and their cephalopod relatives are masters of camouflage, able to instantly shift their skin color to blend into their surroundings. This extraordinary transformation is driven by a natural pigment […]
