Integrated Multi-Omics Maps Metabolic Shift During Seed Development Stages

Canavalia gladiata, commonly known as sword bean, is a leguminous crop with high seed protein content (26%–30%) and oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Despite its nutritional promise, the species has remained underutilized, largely because a complete genome and the genetic basis of its nutritional traits were lacking.

Obligate Endosymbionts Synthesize Vital Amino Acids and Nutrients for Host Survival

Endosymbionts are widely distributed across various cell types in insects and are transmitted primarily vertically, while also spreading among different hosts through horizontal transmission. Functionally, they can be divided into obligate (primary) and facultative (secondary) endosymbionts.

Poor Antibody Validation Risks Wasting Millions of Research Samples

A widespread failure to validate research antibodies before use is estimated to lead to the avoidable waste of millions of animal and human tissue samples worldwide, and an international expert panel has reached consensus on how to address the problem, according to two studies published October 6th in the open access journal PLOS Biology by Harvinder Virk of the University of Leicester, UK, and colleagues.

‘Our Crops Are Losing Their Nutrients’, New Report Warns

Many crops have lost as much as 50% of several key nutrients since the 1960s. Combined with the rise of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, continued projected declines could push around 5 million UK working-age adults below safe levels of essential vitamins and minerals, according to a report published by Deep Science Ventures (DSV).

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Reveals Cellular Heterogeneity Across Distinct Anatomical Prostate Zones

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a distinct type of prostate cell that may help solve the long-standing mystery of why benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate that commonly affects men as they age - develops almost exclusively in one region of the prostate.

Research Evaluates How Accurately Stem Cell Organoids Replicate In Vivo Metabolism

Nutrition advice is everywhere. Eat more protein. Cut back on sugar. Get more fiber. But beneath all that advice is a surprisingly basic gap in our understanding: Scientists still have a limited view of what happens when specific nutrients reach individual cells inside the body.

Higher-Order Receptor Clustering Acts as Hidden Lymphangiogenic Signal Amplifier

Lymphatic vessels act as the body's "drainage system," collecting excess fluid from tissues. When lymphatic drainage is impaired because lymphatic vessels are underdeveloped, damaged, or dysfunctional, lymphedema can develop, causing swelling, particularly in the arms and legs.
