Life Sciences Trout in mine-polluted rivers are genetically ‘isolated’ Trout living in rivers polluted by metal from old mines across the British Isles are genetically “isolated” from other trout, new research shows. Researchers analysed brown trout at 71 sites in Britain and Ireland, where many rivers contain metal washed out from disused mines. While trout in metal-polluted rivers appear healthy, they are genetically distinct […] Written by Admin June 1, 2024June 1, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
A 62-million-year-old skeleton sheds light on an enigmatic mammal For more than 140 years, Mixodectes pungens, a species of small mammal that inhabited western North America in the early Paleocene, was a mystery. What little was known about them had been mostly gleaned from analyzing fossilized teeth and jawbone fragments. But a new study of the most complete skeleton of the species known to […] Written by Admin March 11, 2025March 11, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Nearly half of popular tropical plant group related to birds-of-paradise and bananas are threatened with extinction A new analysis from researchers at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History reveals that nearly half of the genus Heliconia, a group of tropical plants popular for their bright, beak-shaped flowers, are threatened with extinction. The findings, published today, March 7, in the journal Plants, People, Planet, reveal that many of these imperiled plants […] Written by Admin March 10, 2025March 10, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Vacuoles provide the source membrane for TORC1-containing signaling endosomes Organelle biogenesis is fundamental to eukaryotic cell biology. Yeast signaling endosomes were recently identified as a signaling platform for the evolutionarily conserved Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (TORC1) kinase complex. Despite the importance of signaling endosomes for TORC1-mediated control of cellular metabolism, how this organelle is generated has been a mystery. Here, we developed a […] Written by Admin March 10, 2025March 10, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
