OsWRKY53’s peculiar role in suppressing rice’s resistance to cold weather

Rice output and quality are gravely threatened by cold stress at the booting stage, which causes a decrease in the rate of seed germination.

Iron-sulfur cofactors are moved with the help of glutathione, experts reveal

The creation and movement of an essential class of molecules in human cells are now better understood according to a recent study.

Spatial transcriptomic data highlights the features of the axolotl brain

The first spatiotemporal cellular atlas of axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) brain growth and regeneration, created by a multi-institute research team under the direction of BGI-Research, reveals how brain damage may recover itself.

An inventory of human genetic variation through upgrading the 1000 genomes project resource

The first large-scale WGS project to produce a catalog of human genetic variation was the 1000 Genomes Project (1kGP), which was released as an open-access resource seven years ago.

Simple blood test helps identify patients developing neurotoxic side effects

The treatment of various tumors has been transformed by cell-based immunotherapy, often known as CAR-T cell therapy. To target and combat specific forms of leukemia and lymphoma, the treatment employs genetically engineered T cells.

Spaceflight increases the risk of developing cancer and heart disease

A groundbreaking study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai found that astronauts are more likely to experience mutations that could be connected to spaceflight and increase their lifetime risk of acquiring cancer and heart disease.

Scientists demonstrate a potential new route for the generation of genetic diversity in corals

In a discovery that challenges over a century of evolutionary conventional wisdom, corals have been shown to pass somatic mutations – changes to the DNA sequence that occur in non-reproductive cells – to their offspring.

Yeast platform for the production of plant-derived anti-cancer drug

The supply of a plant-derived anti-cancer drug can finally meet global demand after a team of scientists from Denmark and the U.S. engineered yeast to produce the precursor molecules, which could previously only be obtained in trace concentrations in the native plant.

A “stress test” with a previously unknown gene to revive the exhausted T cells

The task of battling cancer cells can fatigue T cells employed in immunotherapy treatments, or they could shut down once they penetrate tumors. Researchers at the Gladstone Institutes and UC San Francisco have strengthened the therapeutic cells’ resistance via a CRISPR-based edit on their genomes.
