New effort to generate high quality reference genomes for 1,000 known species of euglenoids

The Euglena International Network (EIN) (https://euglenanetwork.org/), founded in 2020, is a global consortium of hundreds of scientists around the world with the collective goal of supporting euglenoid science through collaborative and integrative omics between academics and industry.

Mitochondria play a crucial role in the regulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway

Mitochondria are highly regarded as the cell's powerhouse. However, these cellular organelles are essential for more than only energy production: Professor Konstanze Winklhofer and her colleagues at Ruhr University Bochum’s Faculty of Medicine have found that mitochondria play an essential role in signal transduction in innate immune pathways.

Metabolite from pomegranate to boost immune cells that fight tumors

Researchers from the Georg-Speyer-Haus in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and Goethe University Frankfurt have succeeded in developing a new strategy for the treatment of colorectal cancer as part of an interdisciplinary initiative of the LOEWE Center Frankfurt Cancer Institute (FCI).

Molecular mechanisms behind mitochondrial dysfunction in chronic heart failure

Chronic heart failure induces dysfunction in the cell’s powerhouses, which is caused in part by an excess of an essential intermediate compound in energy production. Compensating for this by supplementing the diet could be a potential technique for treating heart failure.

New approach to identify cancerous tissue for surgical removal

It is crucial to distinguish between tumors and healthy tissues during cancer surgery. Fluorescent markers can assist in this process by improving tumor contrast during surgery.

New insight into human genome evolution

Researchers discovered that in one out of every 4,000 births, some of the genetic code from the mitochondria—the “batteries” that power human cells—inserts itself into the DNA, giving a startling new insight into how humans evolve.

Visualizing subcellular structures with the aid of a brilliant fluorescent protein

The RIKEN discovery of a fluorescent protein produced from a Japanese jellyfish that maintains its brightness even under intense light could have significant positive effects on fluorescence imaging of biological samples.
