Life Sciences How AI is supercharging plant immunity to fight deadly bacteria Scientists at the University of California, Davis, used artificial intelligence to help plants recognize a wider range of bacterial threats — which may lead to new ways to protect crops like tomatoes and potatoes from devastating diseases. The study was published in Nature Plants. Plants, like animals, have immune systems. Part of their defense toolkit […] Written by Admin August 2, 2025August 2, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences Koalas on the brink: Precision DNA test offers a lifeline to Australia’s icons A University of Queensland-led project has developed a tool to standardize genetic testing of koala populations, providing a significant boost to conservation and recovery efforts. Dr Lyndal Hulse from UQ’s School of the Environment said the standardized koala genetic marker panel provides a consistent method for researchers nationwide to capture and share koala genetic variation, […] Written by Admin August 1, 2025August 1, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biology AI-directed voxel extraction and volume EM identify intrusions as sites of mitochondrial contact Membrane contact sites (MCSs) establish organelle interactomes in cells to enable communication and exchange of materials. Volume EM (vEM) is ideally suited for MCS analyses, but semantic segmentation of large vEM datasets remains challenging. Recent adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) for segmentation has greatly enhanced our analysis capabilities. However, we show that organelle boundaries, which […] Written by Admin July 31, 2025July 31, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Life Sciences Did humans learn to walk in trees? It’s hard to tell when — and why — our ancestors got down from trees and started walking on two legs. Many early hominins capable of bipedal walking were also well-adapted for climbing, and we lack fossil evidence from a key period when climate change turned forests into open, dry woodland called savannah-mosaic, which might […] Written by Admin July 31, 2025July 31, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Life Sciences 400-million-year-old fish exposes big mistake in how we understood evolution The coelacanth is known as a “living fossil” because its anatomy has changed little in the last 65 million years. Despite being one of the most studied fish in history, it continues to reveal new information that could transform our understanding of vertebrate evolution.
