Life Sciences Tiny wasp’s shocking reproductive trick may transform global agriculture Scientists have shed new light on the evolution of an important species of wasp – and believe that the findings could help improve the effectiveness of natural pest control. Dr Rebecca Boulton, from the University of Stirling, has shown, for the first time, that Lysiphlebus fabarum – a tiny species of wasp – can reproduce […] Written by Admin July 7, 2025July 7, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biology Sphingolipid synthesis maintains nuclear membrane integrity and genome stability during cell division Lipid synthesis must be precisely regulated to support membrane growth and organelle biogenesis during cell division, yet little is known about how this process is coordinated with other cell cycle events. Here, we show that de novo synthesis of sphingolipids during the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle is essential to increasing nuclear […] Written by Admin July 6, 2025July 6, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Environmental Science A million tiny cows Regenerative agriculture is having a moment. From farming circles to food documentaries, it’s being framed as the answer to our broken food system. But there’s a central contradiction in the way the term is being used, and it risks locking us into another unsustainable paradigm. If regeneration means restoring soil health, halting wildlife loss, and […] Written by brendan July 6, 2025July 6, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences A cholesterol secret inside ticks may halt Lyme disease spread Washington State University researchers have discovered how the bacteria that cause anaplasmosis and Lyme disease hijack cellular processes in ticks to ensure their survival and spread to new hosts, including humans. Based in the College of Veterinary Medicine, the team found that the bacteria can manipulate a protein known as ATF6, which helps cells detect […] Written by Admin July 6, 2025July 6, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Environmental Science Balancing Risk With Opportunity – State of the Planet When we think of artificial intelligence (AI) and climate justice, we can imagine two stars in an orbital waltz; each with its own gravity, sometimes in harmony, while other times in tension. In moments of alignment, their fields reinforce each other, giving new vitality and perspective. Yet not all orbits are stable and the gravitational […] Written by Guest July 5, 2025July 5, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences 600-million-year-old body blueprint found in sea anemones A new study from the University of Vienna reveals that sea anemones use a molecular mechanism known from bilaterian animals to form their back-to-belly body axis. This mechanism (“BMP shuttling”) enables cells to organize themselves during development by interpreting signaling gradients. The findings, published in Science Advances, suggest that this system evolved much earlier than […] Written by Admin July 5, 2025July 5, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biotechnology Six Exposure Science Principles Advancing Healthy Environments In the evolving landscape of environmental health, understanding the intricate ways in which humans interact with their surroundings is paramount. Exposure science, a discipline that discerns how individuals come into contact with environmental agents, stands at the forefront of this endeavor. A recent seminal publication by E.A. Cohen Hubal delineates six foundational principles of exposure […] Written by Bioengineer July 4, 2025July 4, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences The fatal mutation that lets cancer outsmart the human immune system New research from UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center has uncovered an evolutionary change that may explain why certain immune cells in humans are less effective at fighting solid tumors compared to non-human primates. This insight could lead to more powerful cancer treatments. The study was published in Nature Communications.
