Flowers use adjustable ‘paint by numbers’ petal designs to attract pollinators

Flowers like hibiscus use an invisible blueprint established very early in petal formation that dictates the size of their bullseyes — a crucial pre-pattern that can significantly impact their ability to attract pollinating bees. The study, by researchers at the University of Cambridge’s Sainsbury Laboratory also found that bees prefer larger bullseyes over smaller ones […]

Monster salamander with powerful jaws unearthed in Tennessee fossil find

A giant, strong-jawed salamander once tunneled through ancient Tennessee soil. And thanks to a fossil unearthed near East Tennessee State University, scientists now better understand how it helped shape Appalachian amphibian diversity. The giant plethodontid salamander now joins the remarkable roster of fossils from the Gray Fossil Site & Museum. The findings appeared in the […]

Editing without ‘cutting’: Molecular mechanisms of new gene-editing tool revealed

Joint research led by Yutaro Shuto, Ryoya Nakagawa, and Osamu Nureki of the University of Tokyo determined the spatial structure of various processes of a novel gene-editing tool called “prime editor.” Functional analysis based on these structures also revealed how a “prime editor” could achieve reverse transcription, synthesizing DNA from RNA, without “cutting” both strands […]

Insect genome offers insights into rare biological conditions, agricultural biosecurity

Lice live their entire lives with a set of genes that in humans would indicate a late-stage degenerative disorder such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease. How do lice tolerate this genome structure that in humans and many other animals would result in major neurodegenerative problems? “We’re a long way from connecting those dots,” said Stephen […]

Scientists’ top 10 bee-magnet blooms—turn any lawn into a pollinator paradise

Botanists from the University of Copenhagen and the UK set out to find the best flower combinations for bees and hoverflies. The results make it easier for garden owners and municipalities, among others, to plant the perfect pantries for insects, which also delight the human eye. Flower strips, seed mixtures, and wild by design. We […]

Fishing and conserving in Great Barrier Reef’s marine reserves

A new study of the Great Barrier Reef has revealed that the network of no-take marine reserves supplies nearly half of the region’s coral trout fishery catch. The research, led by Professor Michael Bode from the QUT School of Mathematical Sciences and published in Science Advances, revealed that despite covering only 30 per cent of […]

Pesticide impacts on bees more complex than expected

A new study shows distinct effects of neonicotinoid pesticide exposure in different bumble bee body parts, explaining why pesticides have diverse harmful effects and highlighting the need for more sensitive safety testing. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have discovered that the neonicotinoid pesticide clothianidin disrupts different parts of bumble bee bodies in strikingly […]

A multifunction murine Col4a1 allele reveals potential gene therapy parameters for Gould syndrome

Basement membranes (BMs) are specialized extracellular matrix (ECM) structures essential for organ morphogenesis, architecture, and function. BM composition and properties vary between tissues, developmental stages, and disease states, and there is only a rudimentary understanding of BM dynamics. Here, we introduce a versatile mouse model carrying a multifunctional dual-color fluorescence tagged allele with knockout potential […]

Centriole structural integrity defects are a crucial feature of hydrolethalus syndrome

Hydrolethalus syndrome (HLS) is a lethal, autosomal recessive ciliopathy caused by the mutation of the conserved centriole protein HYLS1. How HYLS1 controls centriole function is poorly understood. Here, we show that mice harboring the HYLS1 disease mutation die shortly after birth and exhibit developmental defects that recapitulate several manifestations of HLS. These phenotypes arise from […]

Building a COMPASS to navigate future pandemics

Viruses like SARS-CoV-2 don’t respect boundaries, moving between species and continents and leaving destruction as they go. Beating the next pathogen with pandemic potential means getting good at crossing borders ourselves — between fields of study, between research universities, and between scientists and the wider community. Viruses like SARS-CoV-2 don’t respect boundaries, moving between species […]
