Slowing down to take it in: Endocytosis during cellular aging

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

Aging cells functionally decline and accumulate damage through poorly understood mechanisms. In this issue, Antentor et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202412064) find that increased vacuolar pH in older yeast cells slows clathrin-mediated endocytosis. These findings have broad implications in aging-related plasma membrane protein quality control.

Overfishing has halved shark and ray populations since 1970

A new analysis published in the journal Science reveals that overfishing has caused populations of chondrichthyan fishes — sharks, rays, and chimaeras — to decline by more than 50 per cent since 1970. To determine the consequences, a team of researchers developed an aquatic Red List Index (RLI) which shows that the risk of extinction […]

Nature’s anti-aging hack? Jewel wasp larvae slow their biological clock

Scientists have discovered that jewel wasps can slow down their biological rate of aging. A study of jewel wasps, known for their distinctive metallic colors, has shown that they can undergo a kind of natural ‘time-out’ as larvae before emerging into adulthood with this surprising advantage. The groundbreaking study by scientists at the University of […]

Cluck once, and the river shakes: Inside the Amazon’s giant snake saga

As a child, I was fascinated by reports and documentaries about field research and often wondered what it took to be there and what kind of knowledge was being produced. Later, as an ecologist, I felt the need for approaches that better connected scientific research with real-world contexts. I became especially interested in perspectives that […]

Fossil of huge terror bird offers new information about wildlife in South America 12 million years ago

Researchers including a Johns Hopkins University evolutionary biologist report they have analyzed a fossil of an extinct giant meat-eating bird — which they say could be the largest known member of its kind — providing new information about animal life in northern South America millions of years ago. The evidence lies in the leg bone […]

Scientists engineer yellow-seeded camelina with high oil output

Efforts to achieve net-zero carbon emissions from transportation fuels are increasing demand for oil produced by nonfood crops. These plants use sunlight to power the conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide into oil, which accumulates in seeds. Crop breeders interested in selecting plants that produce a lot of oil look for yellow seeds. In oilseed crops […]

Researchers discover how opsin 3, a light-sensitive brain protein, regulates food consumption in mice

Scientists discovered years ago that the hypothalamus — which helps to manage body temperature, hunger, sex drive, sleep and more — includes neurons that express the protein opsin 3 (OPN3). Far less clear, however, was what this light-sensing protein does so deep inside the brain. A study published in PNAS suggests that OPN3 plays an […]

Growing safer spuds: Removing toxins from potatoes

Scientists have discovered a way to remove toxic compounds from potatoes, making them safer to eat and easier to store. The breakthrough could cut food waste and enhance crop farming in space and other extreme environments. Potato plants naturally produce chemicals that protect them from insects. The chemicals, called steroidal glycoalkaloids, or SGAs, are found […]

Could a dietary fiber supplement offer long-awaited treatment for food allergy sufferers?

A study from the University of Michigan has identified a potential new treatment for food allergies in inulin, a naturally occurring plant fiber commonly used as a supplement, a prebiotic in soda, a replacement for sweeteners and for other products and purposes. In what appears to be a major advancement that offers the promise of […]

Traditional forest medicinal plant ghost pipe used differently today

Despite a long history of traditional medicinal use in the United States, the collection, consumption and efficacy of the peculiar forest plant aptly named ghost pipe, scientific name Monotropa uniflora, remains a mystery. Now, with social media and the internet driving a resurgence in the harvest and economic trade of the parasitic species — which […]

Threat of abrupt mortality events keeps endangered monkey population at risk, despite decades of growth

Despite the population being almost four times larger than it was in 1982, a new study published in the journal Ecology suggests the northern muriqui monkeys remain at risk, especially in the face of ongoing habitat disturbances. Northern muriquis, which live in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, are much more peaceful and egalitarian compared to […]

Curiosity- driven experiment helps unravel antibiotic-resistance mystery

An international collaboration has achieved an important breakthrough in understanding the genetic mechanisms that allow bacteria to build resistance to drugs. Bacteria have multiple defence mechanisms they can use to build resistance to antibiotics, one of the major problems facing public health globally. One of these mechanisms involves plasmids, small DNA molecules in bacterial cells, […]

Reforms urged to improve global wildlife trade regulation

Billions of people worldwide depend on wild species for food security, livelihoods, income generation, and well-being. Achieving long-term sustainability in the trade and use of wild species is a key global priority — not only for conservation but also to support the billions of people who rely on these species. CITES (the Convention on International […]

Target cell adhesion limits macrophage phagocytosis and promotes trogocytosis

Macrophage phagocytosis is an essential immune response that eliminates pathogens, antibody-opsonized cancer cells, and debris. Macrophages can also trogocytose, or nibble, targets. Trogocytosis and phagocytosis are often activated by the same signal, including IgG antibodies. What makes a macrophage trogocytose instead of phagocytose is not clear. Using both CD47 antibodies and a Her2 chimeric antigen […]
