New Open-Source Resource Maps Adolescent Brain Development Across Large Datasets

Researchers have created a large, openly available neuroimaging resource from more than 24,000 MRI scans of over 10,000 adolescents, providing an unprecedented view of how the brain's wiring develops during adolescence.

Direct Structural Determination Uncovers Unpredicted Metal Binding Modes in Proteins

The EC numbers (Enzyme Commission numbers) serve as a widely used classification system for enzymes based on seven reaction types. However, a very small number of enzymes cannot be clearly assigned to a single class, and contain ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI) and D-apionate oxidoisomerase (ApnO).

Study Uncovers Sex Specific Coordinated Stem Cell Dynamics in Skin Repair

By filming skin stem cells in living mice over five months, researchers at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, have discovered that in females these cells renew the skin in a more coordinated way than in males.

Breakthrough in Bacterial Enzyme Engineering for Sustainable Industrial Chemical Production

To produce pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, and flavours and fragrances, it is often necessary to oxidise alcohols. In conventional chemistry, this transformation typically relies on harsh oxidants and elevated temperatures, besides generating toxic waste.

Gene Amplification Unexpectedly Increases Bacterial Susceptibility to Frontline Antibiotics

This study was led by Yuqin Song and Jie Feng from the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The researchers investigated how insertion sequence (IS)-mediated gene amplification contributes to the adaptability of Acinetobacter baumannii, an important nosocomial pathogen known for its multidrug resistance and persistence in clinical environments.

Rhizosphere Tug-of-War for Iron Drives Plant-Microbe Evolutionary Co-Adaptation

Energy production in our cells, oxygen traveling in our blood, and immune cells fighting infection all depend on iron, an essential mineral that enters the food chain when plants absorb it from soil. But iron is often scarce-likely increasingly so as global weather and temperatures continue to change-and we aren't the only ones that need it.

Comprehensive Analysis of Emerging Strategies for Targeting Cyclin-Dependent Kinases in Cancer

More than 30 years after the direct connection was established between the molecular machinery controlling cell division and cancer, a new paper traces the evolution of cyclin-dependent kinase research and outlines the next generation of CDK-targeted therapies.

Cryo-EM Snapshots Capture Multi-Stage Structural Transitions During DNA Recombination

Bacteriophages, or viruses that infect bacteria, have a fiendishly simple purpose in life: attach to a bacterial cell, inject their DNA, and then use the host's genetic machinery to reproduce. In doing so, they may have evolved some of the most efficient gene editing tools ever seen in nature.

Scientists Discover Cell Division Mechanism Driving Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Experts from the University of Nottingham have discovered how a common genetic mutation disrupts the positioning of a key protein during cell division, revealing a new mechanism behind acute myeloid leukemia and a potential avenue for future treatment.

Human Stem Cell-Derived Mini Retinas Model Viral Pathology in Developing Eyes

Dr. Vaithi Arumugaswami, professor of molecular and medical pharmacology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Dr. Ashok Kumar, professor of ophthalmology, visual and anatomical sciences at Wayne State University School of Medicine, have received a four-year, $2.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue their study of how Zika virus damages the developing eye and to identify drug-based strategies that could protect babies’ vision.

Study: Maternal Autoantibodies Targeting IL-1RA Trigger Premature Labor

A typical pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, but for about 1 in 10 pregnant women labor begins too soon. Premature or preterm birth is the leading cause of newborn deaths worldwide. Yet doctors have struggled to understand why preterm birth occurs - or how to predict which pregnancies are at highest risk.
