Lizards may be small, with only a single hearing bonelet compared to our three, and without earflaps, but their hearing is typically good. Most lizards can hear frequencies between 100 and 5,000 Hz (although they are most sensitive between 400 and 1,500 Hz), compared to between 20 and 20,000 Hz in humans. So how do lizards react to noise pollution?

As a translator by trade who since moved on to greener pastures, I feel like I've seen the developments regarding generative AI before. Something very similiar happened a few years back, when neural networks lead to a big jump in the quality of machine translation output. Jobs in the translation industry have not been the same since, although the downward trend actually started a bit earlier than

Capitalism is all about the free market, which means the level of innovation depends on demand and supply. And when there's high demand, companies get into fierce competition with each other, which is why we get new and improved products like the iPhone every year. But it's important to note that the middle class makes up the majority of buyers in this system. So, if AI takes over middle class jo

A large portion of the nearly 200 million tons of single-use plastic produced globally ends up discarded as waste. The eventual breakdown of this plastic into microplastics—0.1–1000 µm-sized particles—is a cause for concern. Humans are exposed to microplastics not only through food consumption but also via inhalation, and their occurrence in the bloodstream and organs has already been documented.

Abstract C 4 photosynthesis has evolved by repurposing enzymes found in C 3 plants. Compared with the ancestral C 3 state, accumulation of C 4 cycle proteins is enhanced. We used de-etiolation of C 4 Gynandropsis gynandra and C 3 Arabidopsis thaliana to understand this process. C 4 gene expression and chloroplast biogenesis in G. gynandra were tightly coordinated. Although C 3 and C 4 photosynthe

Abstract Vaccines and drugs have helped reduce disease severity and blunt the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, ongoing virus transmission, continuous evolution, and increasing selective pressures have the potential to yield viral variants capable of resisting these interventions. Here, we investigate the susceptibility of natural variants of the mai

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain cancer. Despite multimodal treatment including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, median patient survival has remained at ~15 months for decades. This situation demands an outside-the-box treatment approach. Using magnetic carbon nanotubes (mCNTs) and precision magnetic field control, we report a mechanical approach

Abstract The blueprints of developing organs are preset at the early stages of embryogenesis. Transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms are proposed to preset developmental trajectories. However, we reveal that the competence for the future cardiac fate of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is preset in pluripotency by a specialized mRNA translation circuit controlled by RBPMS. RBPMS is recruited

Abstract High-sensitivity organic photodetectors (OPDs) with strong near-infrared (NIR) photoresponse have attracted enormous attention due to potential applications in emerging technologies. However, few organic semiconductors have been reported with photoelectric response beyond ~1.1 μm, the detection limit of silicon detectors. Here, we extend the absorption of organic small-molecule semicondu

Abstract Controlled tissue growth is essential for multicellular life and requires tight spatiotemporal control over cell proliferation and differentiation until reaching homeostasis. As cells synthesize and remodel extracellular matrix, tissue growth processes can only be understood if the reciprocal feedback between cells and their environment is revealed. Using de novo–grown microtissues, we i

Abstract Intrinsic dual-emission (DE) of gold nanoclusters in the near-infrared (NIR) are fascinating for fundamental importance and practical applications, but their synthesis remains a formidable challenge and sophisticated excited-state processes make elucidating DE mechanisms much more arduous.

Abstract Cell state plasticity is carefully regulated in adult epithelia to prevent cancer. The aberrant expansion of the normally restricted capability for cell state plasticity in neoplasia is poorly defined. Using genetically engineered and carcinogen-induced mouse models of intestinal neoplasia, we observed that impaired differentiation is a conserved event preceding cancer development. Singl

Abstract Following peripheral nerve injury, extracellular adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP)–mediated purinergic signaling is crucial for spinal cord microglia activation and neuropathic pain. However, the mechanisms of ATP release remain poorly understood.

Recent vaccine reference viruses had destabilized HA protei

Abstract The catalytic dearomative cycloaddition of bicyclic heteroaromatics including benzofurans and indoles provides rapid access to functionalized heterocyclic molecules. Because of the inherent stereoelectronic differences, the furan or pyrrole nucleus is more prone to dearomative cycloaddition than the benzene ring. Here, we realized a geometry-based differentiation approach for achieving C

Abstract We introduce a cost-effective, robust high-throughput–compatible plasma depletion method enabling in-depth profiling of plasma that detects >1300 proteins per run with a throughput of 60 samples per day. The method has been fully validated by processing >3000 samples with no apparent batch effect at a cost for the depletion step of ~$2.5 per sample.

Abstract The serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) complex catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in sphingolipid biosynthesis in all eukaryotes. ORM/ORMDL proteins are negative regulators of SPT that respond to cellular sphingolipid levels. However, the molecular basis underlying ORM/ORMDL-dependent homeostatic regulation of SPT is not well understood. We determined the cryo–electron microscopy

Abstract Human value–based decisions are notably variable under uncertainty. This variability is known to arise from two distinct sources: variable choices aimed at exploring available options and imprecise learning of option values due to limited cognitive resources. However, whether these two sources of decision variability are tuned to their specific costs and benefits remains unclear. To addr

Abstract MYCN amplification in neuroblastoma leads to aberrant expression of MYCN oncoprotein, which binds active genes promoting transcriptional amplification. Yet, how MYCN coordinates transcription elongation to meet productive transcriptional amplification and which elongation machinery represents MYCN-driven vulnerability remain to be identified. We conducted a targeted screen of transcripti

Intestinal bacteria are often the trigger of complications after surgery. A solution to this problem could come from the liver.

Thousands of women say the country's climate change policy damages their right to life and health.

A team of researchers has uncovered new laws governing the flow of fluids through experiments on a technology thousands of years old: a drinking straw. This knowledge could be useful for improving fluid handling in medical and engineering applications.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body does not produce enough insulin, or does not use it efficiently. It is caused by the combination of a genetic predisposition to obesity, sedentarism and an unhealthy diet, and it affects millions of people around the world. Now, researchers have identified a molecular mechanism involved in the development of this disease.

Researchers have used pluripotent stem cells to make thymus organoids that support the development of patient-specific T-cells. The proof-of-concept work provides the basis for studying human thymus function, T-cell development, and transplant immunity.

Research has revealed a type of RNA, previously considered to be 'junk,' that may help doctors distinguish and treat a subgroup of patients with medulloblastoma.

Physicists have developed a dynamical model of animal behavior that may explain some mysteries surrounding associative learning going back to Pavlov's dogs.

Scientists have discovered a mechanism that linked a leukemic mutation to varying potentials for disease development — a discovery which could eventually lead to a way to identify patients with the mutation who are most at risk. The mutation is in a gene called TET2, which is prevalent in patients with myeloid leukemia. The scientists labeled and tracked individual blood stem cells in mice with t

New research advances scientific understanding of how the brain weighs decisions involving what people like or value, such as choosing which book to read, which restaurant to pick for lunch — or even, which slot machine to play in a casino.

Researchers have found that the body's process of removing old and damaged cell parts, is also an essential part of tackling infections that take hold within our cells, like TB. If this natural process can be harnessed with new treatments, it could present an alternative to, or improve use of antibiotics, especially where bacteria have become resistant to existing drugs.

Researchers have uncovered a key role for a new type of cell in touch detection in the skin of the fruit fly.

This is an artist's impression of a black hole drifting through our Milky Way galaxy. The black hole is the crushed remnant of a massive star that exploded as a supernova. The surviving core is several times the mass of our Sun. The black hole traps light because of its intense gravitational field. The black hole distorts the space around it, which warps images of background stars lined up almost

On Sunday, news broke that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had abruptly fired the country's defense minister, Yoav Gallant, after Gallant pleaded for a delay in the judiciary-overhaul plan pu

Low-lying Vanuatu pushed for a legal opinion that could be cited in climate court cases.

The state's flooded farmlands have big consequences for US and global food supplies.

The deal was delayed for weeks after Germany called for an exemption for cars running on e-fuels.

Cultured dining.

No kink shaming please.

Astronomers used gravitational lensing and supercomputers to identify the colossal black hole, which is among the largest ever found.

I was thinking about some technologies that really work well on paper but just don't exist yet for strange reasons. I read that microwaves could be used to disrupt tornados. We have microwave technologies and we have satellites. Yet we don't try and stop tornados with them. Yes money is an issue but we paid for James Webb just fine. Flying cars are theoretically here but due to problems with prac

How practical would it be to reroute some of the waste water, which has nitrogen and phosphorous, into big man made lakes and using it to grow algae to capture carbon and treat the waste water? After the algae is grown it can be filtered out and the water can be sent back to the waste water system. The algae can then be pyrolyzed in a low oxygen environment and turned into charcoal. To me this fe

A new study has revealed insights into how cells sense and respond to the weightlessness experienced in space. The information could be useful for keeping astronauts healthy on future space missions.

The fruit of the cocklebur plant, which grows worldwide and is often considered a noxious weed, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components that could make it useful as a skin protectant, according to new research.

New research has revealed important information about how aspirin works. Even though this drug has been available commercially since the late 1800s, scientists have not yet fully elucidated its detailed mechanism of action and cellular targets. The new findings could pave the way to safer aspirin alternatives and might also have implications for improving cancer immunotherapies.
