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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize various fields, and healthcare is no exception. This transformative technology is increasingly making significant inroads in medical diagnostics, particularly in the interpretation of complex medical images. This approach helps clinicians better assess disease severity, formulate treatment plans, and monitor patient progress over time. Despite the rapid advancements in AI, […]

The most hazardous building in Britain could leak radioactive water until the 2050s as clean-up operations at Sellafield struggle to progress quickly enough, MPs have warned. In a report published on Wednesday, the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC) criticised the speed of decommissioning work at the former nuclear power plant, citing examples of […]
