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, […]

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 […]

Plastics production ‘a global threat’

More than 60 leading scientists from around the world have issued an urgent call for governments to agree on ambitious, enforceable action to tackle plastic pollution, as the final round of UN negotiations on a global plastics treaty approaches. The letters, published today in Cambridge University Press journal Cambridge Prisms: Plastics in the run-up to the […]

Merbecovirus S2 Vaccines Trigger Cross-Reactive MERS Protection

In a groundbreaking study recently published in npj Viruses, a team of researchers led by Halfmann and colleagues has unveiled promising new insights into vaccine design against Merbecoviruses, a subgenus of coronaviruses that includes the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Their work focuses on the S2 subunit of the spike (S) glycoprotein, a component […]

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. This is revealed in a study published in the journal Science […]

Deep-sea fish just changed what we know about Earth’s carbon cycle

A new study offers the first direct evidence that deep-dwelling mesopelagic fish, which account for up to 94 percent of global fish biomass, excrete carbonate minerals at rates comparable to shallow-water species. The findings validate previous global models suggesting that marine fish are major contributors to biogenic carbonate production in the ocean. Scientists at the […]
