DELLA Proteins: The Road to the Next Green Revolution

Despite being largely unchanged for over 450 million years, a family of “promiscuous” proteins that are present in all land plants is responsible for a wide range of plant activities.

Gut Microbiome and Enhanced Tumor Immune Response in Pancreatic Cancer Survivors

Even as pancreatic cancer treatments advance, only around 9% of patients live beyond five years. Scientists have failed to identify genetic distinctions that explain why some patients live for a long time and others do not, so they have moved their emphasis to the gut microbiome.

SoyOmics: An Innovative Framework of Multi-omics Database for Soybean

A major source of plant oil and protein for humans is the soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), a crop cultivated all over the globe. The main objective for geneticists and breeders is to increase soybean production and quality.

Customized AI-driven gut microbiome study to classify colorectal cancer

A diverse community of several bacterial species that are crucial to human health constitute the gut microbiome. Changes in the gut microbiota have been linked to a range of diseases recently, most notably colorectal cancer (CRC), according to researchers across a variety of domains.

Surface Structure Impacts Quorum Signaling of Bacteria Across Biofilms

Similar to how cells within human tissues communicate and function together as a whole, bacteria are also able to communicate with each other through chemical signals, a behavior known as quorum signaling (QS).

Revealing how cohesin attaches to the DNA and forms loops

Ana Losada, a scientist at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) and then at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, identified cohesin, a protein essential to the process of cell division, in Xenopus frogs at the end of the 1990s.

Male Beetles Neglect Maintenance of Gametes When Competing for Mating Opportunities

Male beetles face a trade-off between competing with other males for mating opportunities and repairing damage to their sperm DNA, according to a study publishing April 4th in the open access journal PLOS Biology by Mareike Koppik from Uppsala University, Sweden, and colleagues.

Novel Genes Could Serve as Predictive Biomarkers for PARP Inhibitor Response in Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer tumors harboring BRCA1/2 mutations are exceptionally sensitive to PARP inhibitors, while genomic alterations in other DNA damage response (DDR) genes are less responsive.

Tiny Protein Interacts with Ion Channels to Make Our Eyes Sensitive to Dim Light

Using cryo-electron microscopy and mass spectrometry, researchers from PSI have deciphered the structure of an ion channel found in the eye while it interacts with the protein calmodulin – a structure that has eluded scientists for three decades.

Potential Treatment Pathway for IBD Emerges from Microbe-Gut Signaling Study

Fresh insights into how our bodies interact with the microbes living in our guts suggest that a two-drug combination may offer a new way to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Endothelial Deletion of Wt1 Gene During Coronary Vessel Formation Affects Embryonic Heart Development

How is the mammals' heart formed? What role do endothelial cells play? Do the same pathways and genes involved in the formation of the embryonic heart also play a role in repair processes?
