Enzymes found in capybara gut can promote the application of agroindustrial waste

One option to reduce dependence on oil and other fossil fuels is to transform agroindustrial waste into molecules of interest to society, like biofuels and biochemicals.

Using a novel carbon-negative route to produce commodity chemicals

Acetone and isopropanol are important chemicals for industry. They are used to produce materials from jet fuel to solvents to detergents to plastics. Currently, industry produces these two chemicals from petroleum using processes that release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Researchers analyze the significance of two-pore channels in plant cells

TPCs (two-pore channels) are old ion channels found in both animal and plant cells. These ion channels serve key roles in biological activity in numerous tissues in animals, including humans, like the brain and nervous system.

Gene expression signatures in lymph node cells play an active role in lymphoma development

Researchers from the University of Tsukuba identify gene expression signatures in different types of lymph nodes cells that play an active role in the development of lymphomas.

Scientists reveal how autism-linked genetic mutation disrupts neural development using mini-brains

In a study published May 02, 2022 in Nature Communications, scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine used human brain organoids to reveal how a genetic mutation associated with a profound form of autism disrupts neural development.

Study shows how G protein-coupled receptors signal helps drug development

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), membrane proteins that are the target of one-third of approved drugs, are being studied by scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute.

Researchers discover protein that enhances muscle mass

Humans are not just pumping iron in the gym, or not just oxygenating muscle cells, which keeps those muscles healthy, powerful, and developing—a process known as hypertrophy—that is defined as an increase in muscle mass, caused by an increase in muscle cell size.

RNA binding proteins in T cells help generate an effective immune response

Two RNA binding proteins have been discovered to be the key to a greater immune reaction to influenza in mice, according to researchers at the Babraham Institute.

Researchers analyze the potential role of mRNA in drug development and novel therapies

In latest years, messenger RNA—the DNA’s close relative in the complex process of turning a string of genetic blueprints into a properly functioning organism—has gotten a lot of attention in the scientific and medical community.

Study explains how liver regeneration may help treat liver disease in mice

Other vertebrates, such as fish and lizards, can regenerate organs more effectively than mammals. Salk researchers have discovered a mechanism to partially restore the young condition of liver cells, allowing them to repair damaged tissue at a quicker rate than previously thought.

Study shows the role of mucosal-associated invariant T cell in mucosal melanomas patients

Many cancer patients have benefited from the development of anti-cancer immunotherapy drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, but patients with mucosal melanomas—melanomas that occur in the mucous membranes of the head, neck, eyes, respiratory system, and genitourinary region rather than on the skin—are highly resistive to immune checkpoint inhibitors for reasons researchers do not fully understand.

Research investigates megafire impacts on redwood tanoak forest microbes

Fungi and bacteria that can survive megafires in redwood tanoak forests are microbial “cousins,” typically growing in great quantity after experiencing the flames, according to a new study from UC Riverside.

Scientists determine drug-resistant mold that infects human lungs

According to a recent study conducted by Imperial College London, drug-resistant mold is disseminated from the environment and affects the lungs of those who are susceptible.

New 3D in vitro model reveals the origins of human spine

The spinal column is the central supporting structure of the skeleton in all vertebrates. Not only does it provide a place for muscles to attach, it also protects the spinal cord and nerve roots. Defects in its development are known to cause rare hereditary diseases.
