EGFR Stops α-Synuclein Clumps via DNAJB1

In a groundbreaking advance in the battle against Parkinson’s disease, researchers have unveiled a novel molecular pathway through which the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) acts to mitigate one of the disease’s most destructive features: the aggregation of α-synuclein proteins in neuronal cells. This discovery shines new light on the intricate molecular dance that governs […]

Extreme weather is wiping out amphibians—Here’s where it’s worst

The fire salamander native to Europe is one of many species that depend on sufficient moisture. Credit: Daniel Rosengren/Frankfurt Zoological Society Habitat loss, diseases, pollution, and climate change are already massively affecting amphibians – frogs, salamanders, and the caecilians native to tropical regions. The new study from the Institute for Ecology, Evolution and Diversity shows […]

Taperin bundles F-actin at stereocilia pivot points enabling optimal lifelong mechanosensitivity

Stereocilia are rod-like mechanosensory projections consisting of unidirectionally oriented actin filaments that extend into the inner ear hair cell cytoskeleton, forming dense rootlets. Taperin (TPRN) localizes to the narrowed-down base of stereocilia, where they pivot in response to sound and gravity. We show that TPRN–deficient mice have progressive deafness characterized by gradual asynchronous retraction and […]

Advancing Equity Through Clean Energy Policy – State of the Planet

Nicholas Britton’s passion for energy policy began at Dartmouth College, where he majored in environmental studies and helped support the campus’s energy transition. Through fieldwork and research, from New Hampshire to Southern Africa to Washington, D.C., Britton developed a focus on equitable energy access as a means to serve both environmental and social goals. Now […]

Two plant species invent the same chemically complex and medically interesting substance

The elucidation of the biosynthetic pathway of ipecacuanha alkaloids shows how two distantly related plant species could develop the same substance independently. Plants produce an enormous abundance of natural products. Many plant natural products are ancestry-specific and occur only in certain plant families, sometimes only in a single species. Interestingly, however, the same substances can […]
