| Scientists discover slimy microbes that may help keep coral reefs healthy Posted: 09 Jan 2021 12:24 PM PST Microbes living within the slimy biofilms of some coral species may help protect the coral against excess nitrogen levels, according to new research. |
| A beginner's guide to DNA origami Posted: 09 Jan 2021 12:24 PM PST Researchers, who have studied DNA origami for years, have compiled the first detailed tutorial on the technique. |
| Gene therapy strategy found effective in mouse model of hereditary disease TSC Posted: 09 Jan 2021 12:24 PM PST Patients with a genetic disorder called tuberous sclerosis complex have noncancerous tumors growing in numerous organs, and their treatment options are limited. A gene therapy strategy effectively treated mice that express one of the mutated genes that cause the disease. |
| Including unhealthy foods may diminish positive effects of an otherwise healthy diet Posted: 09 Jan 2021 12:24 PM PST Researchers have reported diminished benefits of a Mediterranean diet among those with high frequency of eating unhealthy foods. |
| Key step taken toward cleaner, more sustainable production of hydrogen Posted: 08 Jan 2021 11:21 AM PST Efficiently mass-producing hydrogen from water is closer to becoming a reality thanks to new findings. |
| Posted: 08 Jan 2021 11:21 AM PST New research reveals that bacteria have internal clocks that align with the 24-hour cycle of life on Earth. |
| Unravelling the mystery that makes viruses infectious Posted: 08 Jan 2021 11:21 AM PST Researchers have for the first time identified the way viruses like the poliovirus and the common cold virus 'package up' their genetic code, allowing them to infect cells. The findings open up the possibility that drugs or anti-viral agents can be developed that would stop such infections. |
| Botulism breakthrough? Taming botulinum toxin to deliver therapeutics Posted: 08 Jan 2021 11:21 AM PST Currently there's no treatment for botulism once the toxin gets into neurons. This novel treatment neutralized the toxin with a second, modified botulinum toxin that delivered a mini antibody into the cells - reversing paralysis in mice. |
| More than half of people using cannabis for pain experience multiple withdrawal symptoms Posted: 08 Jan 2021 11:21 AM PST More than half of people who use medical marijuana products to ease pain also experience clusters of multiple withdrawal symptoms when they're between uses, a new study finds. And about 10% of the patients taking part in the study experienced worsening changes to their sleep, mood, mental state, energy and appetite over the next two years as they continued to use cannabis. |
| Novel RNA factors may help cancer cells thrive Posted: 08 Jan 2021 10:11 AM PST Recent work pinpoints critical changes in an enzyme known as DICER, which create a cascade of effects on this microRNAome. The team identified primary actors circ2082, a circular RNA, and RBM3, an RNA-binding protein, which form a complex with DICER to trap it in the nucleus of glioblastoma cells, therefore disrupting the cytoplasmic microRNAome. |
| Posted: 08 Jan 2021 09:01 AM PST Plant researchers have investigated the transport of compounds in maize. They focused on the mechanism used to transport the products of photosynthesis for further distribution in the plant through its phloem loading pathways. They describe how this mechanism has potentially created a special evolutionary advantage for maize. |
| Bats with white-nose syndrome prefer suboptimal habitats despite the consequences Posted: 08 Jan 2021 05:41 AM PST Bats are mistakenly preferring sites where fungal growth is high and therefore their survival is low. |
| New analysis highlights importance of groundwater discharge into oceans Posted: 08 Jan 2021 05:41 AM PST An invisible flow of groundwater seeps into the ocean along coastlines all over the world. Scientists have tended to disregard its contributions to ocean chemistry, focusing on the far greater volumes of water and dissolved material entering the sea from rivers and streams, but a new study finds groundwater discharge plays a more significant role than had been thought. |
| New statistical method exponentially increases ability to discover genetic insights Posted: 08 Jan 2021 05:41 AM PST A test of the Sum-Share statistical method with only summary-level data found 1,734 genetic variations associated with cardiovascular-related conditions when just one had previously been likely. |
