Life Sciences Understanding how a red seaweed reduces methane emissions from cows Methane is the second-largest contributor to climate warming after carbon dioxide, and so scientists have put a lot of attention toward addressing one of the top sources: methane emissions from livestock. In other words, cow burps and flatulence are bad for the planet. Farmers add various seaweeds to cow diets as a source of protein, […] Written by Admin July 24, 2024July 24, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences Blood sausages and yak milk: Bronze Age cuisine of Mongolian nomads unveiled Bronze cauldrons were used by the inhabitants of the Mongolian steppe around 2,700 years ago to process animal blood and milk. This is shown by a protein analysis of archaeological finds from this period. Scattered across the Eurasian steppe, archaeologists repeatedly come across metal cauldrons from the Bronze Age during excavations. However, it was previously […] Written by Admin June 6, 2024June 6, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences High H5N1 influenza levels found in mice given raw milk from infected dairy cows Mice administered raw milk samples from dairy cows infected with H5N1 influenza experienced high virus levels in their respiratory organs and lower virus levels in other vital organs, according to findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The results suggest that consumption of raw milk by animals poses a risk for H5N1 infection […] Written by Admin May 25, 2024May 25, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Life Sciences Pig welfare outweighs climate concerns for consumers Pork production is a societal concern on several fronts: antibiotics use, infectious disease, poor animal welfare and climate and environmental pressures. Even though the beef, coffee and chocolate industries are each major climate culprits, the world’s total consumption of pork emits hundreds of millions of tons of CO2 every year.

Scientists recreate mouse from gene older than animal life Published in Nature Communications, an international team of researchers has achieved an unprecedented milestone: the creation of mouse stem cells capable of generating a fully developed mouse using genetic tools from a unicellular organism, with which we share a common ancestor that predates animals. This breakthrough reshapes our understanding of the genetic origins of stem […] Written by Admin November 19, 2024November 19, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
VU Researchers Publish Study on the Mechanism of CRISPR-Cas “Protein Scissors” in Molecular Cell CRISPR-Cas systems help to protect bacteria from viruses. Several different types of CRISPR-Cas defense systems are found in bacteria, which differ in their composition and functions. Among them, the most studied proteins today are Cas9 and Cas12, also known as DNA or gene ‘scissors’, which have revolutionized the field of genome editing, enabling scientists to […] Written by Elsevier Ltd, The Boulevard, Langford Lane, Kidlington, Oxford, OX5 1GB, United Kingdom November 19, 2024November 19, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Visualizing ER-phagy and ER architecture in vivo ER-phagy is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, significant gaps persist in our understanding of how ER-phagy and the ER network vary across cell subtypes, tissues, and organs. Furthermore, the pathophysiological relevance of ER-phagy remains poorly elucidated. Addressing these questions requires developing quantifiable methods to visualize ER-phagy and ER architecture in […] Written by Admin November 19, 2024November 19, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
