Environmental Science Harnessing Lava To Build Sustainable Cities – State of the Planet When it comes to carbon emissions, there’s no bigger foe than the building and construction sectors, which contribute at least a third of global greenhouse gases. A new project suggests a novel solution, albeit one still quite theoretical: Lava. Over the past several months, the Volcanology Group at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, led by Lamont […] Written by Guest June 2, 2025June 2, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences The EU should allow gene editing to make organic farming more sustainable, researchers say To achieve the European Green Deal’s goal of 25% organic agriculture by 2030, researchers argue that new genomic techniques (NGTs) should be allowed without pre-market authorization in organic as well as conventional food production. NGTs — also known as gene editing- — are classified under the umbrella of GMOs, but they involve more subtle genetic […] Written by Admin June 1, 2025June 1, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Biology Ecdysone regulates phagocytic cell fate of epithelial cells in developing Drosophila eggs Acquisition of nonprofessional phagocytic cell fate plays an important role in sculpting functional metazoan organs and maintaining overall tissue homeostasis. Though physiologically highly relevant, how the normal epithelial cells acquire phagocytic fate is still mostly unclear. We have employed the Drosophila ovary model to demonstrate that the classical ecdysone signaling in the somatic epithelial follicle […] Written by Admin June 1, 2025June 1, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
