A new concept of kinetic modules in biochemical networks could revolutionize the understanding of how these networks function. Scientists succeeded in linking the structure and dynamics of biochemical networks via kinetic modules, thus clarifying a systems biology question that has been open for longtime.
- Coastal Alaska wolves exposed to high mercury concentrations from eating sea otterson May 28, 2025 at 8:50 pm
In late 2020, a female coastal wolf collared for a study on predation patterns unexpectedly died in southeastern Alaska.
- A new pathogenic fungus is threatening batson May 28, 2025 at 8:40 pm
One fungus, two species, millions of dead bats: A study published in the journal Nature has analyzed 5,000 samples of a fungus that is responsible for the largest recorded pathogen-caused mortality in mammals. An international team of researchers, led by a doctoral candidate at the University of Greifswald, produced the study in collaboration with partners from France, Bulgaria, Finland and Ukraine and several hundred volunteers.
- Drones and genetics team up for drought-smart wheaton May 28, 2025 at 7:45 pm
A new study led by researchers at the Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment at Hebrew University and the Volcani Institute changes the way scientists uncover the secrets of wheat resilience. By using drones equipped with advanced thermal and hyperspectral cameras, the team has found a faster, more precise method to identify wheat varieties that can thrive in hot and dry climates, an urgent priority in the face of global food insecurity and climate change.
- When the forest is no longer a home—forest bats seek refuge in settlementson May 28, 2025 at 7:40 pm
Many bat species native to Germany, such as the Leisler's bat, are forest specialists. However, as it is becoming increasingly hard for them to find tree hollows in forest plantations, they are moving to settlements instead.
- Myosin makes the moves to keep cell processes humming alongon May 28, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Biomolecular condensates are distinct molecular communities made of DNA, RNA and proteins that "condense" molecules to key locations inside cells. Intense efforts have focused on uncovering the numerous ways in which condensation is controlled, modulated and regulated inside cells.
- 3D structure of key membrane repair proteins revealed by cryo-electron microscopyon May 28, 2025 at 7:28 pm
Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the membrane proteins myoferlin and dysferlin using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy.
- In nature's math, freedoms are fundamentalon May 28, 2025 at 7:28 pm
Numbers have a funny way about them. Young math students are taught various strategies to make problem-solving easier. Comparing fractions? Find a common denominator or convert to decimals. The strategies get more complex when doing the kind of math used to describe the activities of DNA, RNA, or protein sequences.
- Huge sea-urchin populations are overwhelming Hawaii's coral reefson May 28, 2025 at 7:28 pm
As coral reefs struggle to adapt to warming waters, high levels of pollution and sea-level rise, ballooning sea-urchin populations are threatening to push some reefs in Hawaii past the point of recovery.
- 'Living fossil' velvet worm species discovered in South Africa's arid Karoo regionon May 28, 2025 at 7:28 pm
In March 2022, Stellenbosch University (SU) student Rohan Barnard was out on a farm in the Swartberg Mountains between Calitzdorp and Oudtshoorn, flipping over rocks looking for ants, reptiles and other critters, when he stumbled upon the finding of a lifetime.
- Plateosaurus tail may have served as a powerful defensive weapon, paleontologists discoveron May 28, 2025 at 7:26 pm
A small team of paleontologists with members from Austria, Germany and Switzerland has found evidence suggesting that a herbivorous dinosaur from the Late Triassic may have used its large tail as a means to ward off predators. In their paper published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, the group describes how they studied the well-preserved tail of a Plateosaurus, including a comparison with modern monitor lizards and iguanas, and what they learned by doing so.
- Editing Green Revolution genes to boost tomato production efficiency for vertical farmingon May 28, 2025 at 7:23 pm
A research team led by Prof. Xu Cao from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Chen Fan's team at Yazhouwan National Laboratory has successfully engineered a tomato variety optimized for vertical farming, significantly enhancing production efficiency in plant factory systems.
- Analyzing horse facial expressions can help us better understand equine emotions and welfareon May 28, 2025 at 7:04 pm
Scientists from the University of Portsmouth's Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Psychology have created the first anatomically-based descriptions (ethogram) of equine facial behavior, mapping how horses use their faces to communicate emotions like playfulness, aggression, curiosity, and attention.
- Key difference in how cells interact could aid in development of more targeted drugson May 28, 2025 at 6:50 pm
Talin is a protein that plays an important role in the immune system by activating integrins, receptors that help cells attach to one another. Now a new study by Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers shows how talin has distinct binding modes for two types of integrins that are important in blood cells. It also highlights how switching modes can enhance the integrins, potentially making them stronger.
- Genetic deep dive dispels fear of hybrid worm threaton May 28, 2025 at 6:46 pm
Parasitic worms that infect humans are not interbreeding with those that infect cattle as previously thought. This is good news when it comes to controlling schistosomiasis, a disease caused by these worms that affects more than 200 million people globally.
