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 […]

Tubulin isotypes contribute opposing properties to balance anaphase spindle morphogenesis

Faithful chromosome segregation requires proper function of the mitotic spindle, which is built from, and depends on, the coordinated regulation of many microtubules and the activities of molecular motors and MAPs. In addition, microtubules themselves are assembled from multiple variants, or isotypes of α- and β-tubulin, yet whether they mediate the activities of motors and […]

83% of Earth’s climate-critical fungi are still unknown

Mycorrhizal fungi help regulate Earth’s climate and ecosystems by forming underground networks that provide plants with essential nutrients, while drawing carbon deep into soils. Scientists and conservationists have been racing to find ways to protect these underground fungi, but they keep finding dark taxa – species that are known only by their DNA sequences that […]
