As humans alter the planet's climate and ecosystems, scientists are looking to Earth's history to help predict what may unfold from climate change. To this end, massive ice structures like glaciers serve as nature's freezers, archiving detailed records of past climates and ecosystems – including viruses. We are a team of microbiologists and...

Chloroplast, which is a double-membrane-bounded organelle, is the main site for CO2 fixation via photosynthesis in green plants. The double-membrane configuration can regulate the transport of substances into and out of the chloroplasts with the aid of functional units like lipid bilayer and transmembrane proteins. Inspired by the ingenious...

The growing need to expand the blood supply is now driving technological approaches, including advances in blood preservation and storage. The researchers of the new study report a method for biocompatible blood silicification, which they call shielding-augmenting RBC-in-nanoscale amorphous silica, or SARNAS for short. The technique is a surface...

That’s obviously a big problem for emergencies that occur a long way from a hospital. But a new study from Harvard’s Wyss Institute suggests a new way to extend that so-called Golden Hour, by placing a patient in “biostasis” to slow down their metabolism and prevent permanent organ damage. The researchers used an algorithm called NeMoCad, which...

In a world overrun by petroleum-based plastics, scientists are searching for alternatives that are more sustainable, more biodegradable and far less toxic to the environment. Two new studies by biologists at Washington University in St. Louis highlight one potential source of game-changing materials: purple bacteria that, with a little...

For nearly a century, scientists have waged war on antibiotic-resistant microbes. Michigan State University researchers say they've found a new way to prevent it by unleashing "DNA – scavengers" in wastewater treatment plants. Syed Hashsham, MSU professor of civil and environmental engineering, and James Tiedje, University Distinguished...

A novel study led by Prof. Mira Barda-Saad and her research team at the Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences at Bar-Ilan University has unveiled a novel method to rejuvenate natural killer (NK) cells in the fight against cancer. The study addresses a critical challenge in cancer immunotherapy – NK cell exhaustion. Recently it was discovered that the...

A recent study by University of Florida researchers provides insight into how beer yeast might behave when fermented in outer space. While the concept may initially sound trivial, it has far-reaching applications, according to the study, a collaboration between researchers from the UF/IFAS food science and human nutrition department and the...

Nanoparticles delivered intravenously in mice can block the allergic reactions to red meat caused by the bite of the lone star tick, new research led by the University of Michigan shows. The condition, called alpha-gal syndrome, is on the rise in humans as climate change and other factors have led the ticks to expand their habitat. Developed at...
