One gene defines the many patterns of snake skin

In many animals, skin colouration and its patterns play a crucial role in camouflage, communication, or thermoregulation. In the corn snake, some morphs display red, yellow, or pink blotches, and their dorsal spots can merge or turn into stripes. But which genetic and cellular mechanisms determine these colourful patterns? A team from the University of […]

TMBIM-2 links neuronal mitochondrial stress to systemic adaptation via calcium signaling

Mitochondrial function is critical for neuronal activity and systemic metabolic adaptation. In this issue, Li et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202408050) identify TMBIM-2 as a key regulator of calcium dynamics, coordinating the neuronal-to-intestinal mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), pathogen-induced aversive learning, and aging.

Exploring Sustainable Development in Rwanda and Bangladesh – State of the Planet

This past March, two separate groups of students from the Office of Undergraduate Programs at the Columbia Climate School traveled to Rwanda and Bangladesh as part of their coursework in sustainable development. Their trips focused on exploring what sustainability means in the context of sub-Saharan Africa and on a tectonically active delta, respectively. Rwandan children […]

Floristic Diversity of Zygophyllum album Communities…

Zygophyllum album L. (Zygophyllaceae) is a species of arid and hyperarid zones that has been the subject of many biochemical, pharmaceutical, and medicinal studies, but this species is largely unknown ecologically. This work aims to study the diversity and describe the characteristics of the functional traits of plant species of Zygophyllum album communities associated with […]

The eukaryotic cell emerged as an evolutionary algorithmic phase transition

An international collaboration between four senior scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published groundbreaking research in the journal PNAS, shedding light on the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life’s evolution on Earth: the origin of the eukaryotic cell. While the endosymbiotic theory is widely accepted, the billions of years […]

Carbon capture, or political capture?

Greenpeace UK’s policy director Doug Parr said the investment would “extend the life of planet-heating oil and gas production”. Does this technology hold up to scrutiny, and what role, if any, should it play in decarbonisation? The UK government’s projects are based around CCUS, which involves usage of captured carbon, as opposed to just carbon […]

Whey Waste Finds New Life as Protein

Paris-based start-up Standing Ovation’s patented process converts the serums supplied by Bel into functional casein proteins. The approach offers a sustainable alternative to conventional dairy supply chains. Bel hopes that, in addition to reducing waste and creating an additional valorisation stream, it will also promote a circular economy within the industry. “Thanks to this process, […]

In silico Structural and Functional Characterization of an…

Actinoalloteichus hoggarensis is a rare bacterial species that was isolated from the Algerian Saharan desert and is known for producing biologically active compounds. Despite its potential, little is understood about the enzymes it produces, including endoglucanases. These cellulase enzymes break down cellulose, the primary structural component of plant cell walls that provides strength and rigidity. […]

Disrupting ‘communication’ with plants could limit soybean cyst nematode infections

Targeting a newly discovered vulnerability in the signals that cyst nematodes use to infect plant roots could be a powerful method for reducing the damage the parasitic worms cause in crops such as soybeans, according to a study co-authored by an Iowa State University professor. Researchers identified a single protein in cyst nematodes that triggers […]

ZBTB17/MIZ1 promotes peroxisome biogenesis by transcriptional regulation of PEX13

Peroxisomes are integral metabolic organelles involved in both catabolic and anabolic processes in humans, with defects linked to diseases. The functions of peroxisomes are regulated at transcriptional, translational, and posttranslational levels. In this study, we employed the CRISPR/Cas9-based screening of a ubiquitin ligase library to identify regulators of human peroxisomes. We discovered that ZBTB17 (MIZ1) […]
