A more environmentally friendly way to produce widely used artificial organic dyes

Organic, i.e. carbon-containing dyes have important roles in nature. For example, they are responsible for transporting oxygen and other gases in the body (as part of hemoglobin) and converting solar energy into chemical energy in photosynthesis (chlorophyll).

Climate change will affect 12 important marine species on North American West Coast, research warns

For the generations who grew up watching Finding Nemo, it might not come as a surprise that the North American West Coast has its own version of the underwater ocean highway – the California Current marine ecosystem.

Experts develop new single-cell “chromatin atlas” of the human genome

Researchers from the University of Virginia School of Medicine have developed a crucial new tool that provides a better understanding of how genes in particular cells affect the risk of developing heart disease, the world’s leading cause of death.

Comparative mass spectrometry strategy determines the viral and cellular candidate proteins of poxvirus

Pox viruses get a head start on infecting a host by delivering a package of proteins that interferes directly with the innate immune system of the host.

Researchers identify the molecular route that leads to autoimmune disease inflammation

Mitochondria are self-contained organelles that reside inside cells and are tasked with producing the chemical energy required to power vital tasks necessary for life and wellbeing. They have their own mini-chromosome and DNA.

Researchers create novel human cell line to explore blinding eye disorders

Researchers at the LSU Health New Orleans Neuroscience Center of Excellence have created a novel, experimental human cell line from retinal pigment epithelial cells, under the supervision of Boyd Professor Nicolas Bazan, MD, PhD.

Researchers investigate the effects of transient oxygen starvation on protein folding in plants

Protein molecules require a defined shape in order to function. When they are created, their building blocks are therefore linked together in a very specific way.

Study shows how mitochondrial RNA changes enhance invasive growth of cancer cells

The energy centers of cells and mitochondria have their own genetic material and RNA molecules.

Researchers examine ancient microbes to find life beyond earth

Researchers have reproduced what life was like for some of the oldest species on Earth using light-capturing proteins found in living microorganisms. These initiatives may enable everyone to spot life in distant worlds, whose atmospheres mirror the pre-oxygen planet more closely.

WHOI, UConn and Bigelow Laboratory execute a license agreement for kelp germplasm

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the University of Connecticut, and Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences have executed a license agreement for a kelp germplasm, or collection of microscopic cells called gametophytes, containing more than 1,200 samples all developed and isolated by WHOI and UConn-led teams.

A signaling molecule can make plants more resistant to flooding, research shows

Extreme weather phenomena are on the rise worldwide, including frequent droughts and fires. Floods are also a clear consequence of climate change.

Researchers analyze the first-ever effectively sequenced the Pompeiian human genome

A study released this week in Scientific Reports presents the first effectively sequenced human genome from a person who perished in Pompeii, Italy, after Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 CE. Only limited lengths of mitochondrial DNA from human and animal remains from Pompeii had previously been sequenced.
