Researchers find effective combination of therapies for managing mitochondrial disease

Researchers have demonstrated how one combination of therapies may be beneficial for patients with mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders.

Promising potential for marine biofuel

For several years now, the biofuels that power cars, jet airplanes, ships, and big trucks have come primarily from corn and other mass-produced farm crops.

Study describes molecular mechanisms of polar growth in plants

Plants grow in two directions: the shoots of plants grow toward the light to make the best use of it, and the roots grow toward the center of the earth into the soil.

Scientists map previously unknown metabolic pathways to produce memory T cell

Immunologists have plotted a previously unfamiliar biological pathway through which the immune system produces T cells that destroy viruses.

Human activities cause biodiversity loss in over 80% of the Atlantic Rainforest remnants

A Brazilian study published in Nature Communications shows that human activities have directly or indirectly caused biodiversity and biomass losses in over 80% of the remaining Atlantic Rainforest fragments.

Mycorrhizal fungi can control the emission of N2O from agricultural soil

One of the most significant greenhouse gases that cause global warming is nitrous oxide (N2O).

Study reveals specialized mechanism for translation of mitochondrial genome into proteins

An international collaboration among researchers from Finland, Sweden, UK and the USA has captured ribosomes translating messenger RNA expressed from the maternally inherited mitochondrial genome.

Study reveals link between group of metabolites in blood and satiety perception

Results of the European study SATIN (SATiety INnovation) reveal a relation between certain metabolites in the blood and the satiety perceived after consuming food.

New research on mitochondrial function can play significant part in serious disease

Disorders of the cells' energy supply can cause a number of serious diseases, but also seem to be connected to aging.

Study suggests a way to improve immunotherapy by altering immune cells’ access to sugar

Cancer cells and immune cells share something in common: They both love sugar. Sugar is an important nutrient. All cells use sugar as a vital source of energy and building blocks. For immune cells, gobbling up sugar is a good thing, since it means getting enough nutrients to grow and divide for stronger immune responses. But cancer cells use sugar for more nefarious ends.

New method to measure how carbon-based matter accumulates in the ocean

A new USC study puts ocean microbes in a new light with important implications for global warming. The study, published Tuesday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides a universal accounting method to measure how carbon-based matter accumulates and cycles in the ocean.

Tumor microenvironment could improve cancer immunotherapy

A study has revealed how chemicals surrounding tumors, the tumor microenvironment, undermine the immune system and allow cancer to resist attack.

Child-targeted advertising impacts the transition from traditional Mediterranean diet to processed foods

Experts have spent decades warning us about the rising rates of childhood obesity, which has become an epidemic among recent generations in many places around the world, including Spain.

New understanding of tumor microenvironment could help enhance immunotherapy

A paper published today in Nature shows how chemicals in the areas surrounding tumors--known as the tumor microenvironment--subvert the immune system and enable cancer to evade attack. These findings suggest that an existing drug could boost cancer immunotherapy.
