UC Riverside scientists aim to find how some fungi and bacteria manage to thrive post-wildfires

Scientists have found microbes living in the charred soil that wildfires leave behind. They don't know how some fungi and bacteria manage to thrive when everything else has died, but a new project aims to change that.

HIF-1alpha inhibitor preserves the activity of insulin-producing beta cells in diabetic mice

High blood glucose is responsible for several complications in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified a new antidiabetic substance that preserves the activity of insulin-producing beta cells and prevents high blood glucose in mice.

Killifish study finds age-dependent loss of antibody diversity

As we age, our immune system works less well. We become more susceptible to infections and vaccinations no longer work as effectively.

Reintroduction of captive-bred animals offers potential solution to cope with biodiversity crisis

Biodiversity loss has accelerated over the last decade, driven by the impact of global warming, alteration of habitats and the dispersal of invasive exotic species due to human action.

Researchers reveal how deleting a protein could prevent heart attacks and strokes

Macrophages travel through our arteries, gobbling fat the way Pac-man gobbled ghosts. But fat-filled macrophages can narrow blood vessels and cause heart disease.

Study highlights the importance of membrane composition of targeted cells

Bacteria, fungi, and yeast are very good at excreting useful substances such as weak acids. One way in which they do this is through passive diffusion of molecules across the cell membrane. At the same time, cells need to prevent leakage of numerous small molecules.

Study reveals genetically driven mucus pathobiology in asthma

A significant amount of genetic risk for asthma is likely mediated through altered gene expression within the airway epithelium.

Discovery of genetic pathway could lead to more affordable, higher-yield bioprocessing

A team of researchers working with the Center for Bioenergy Innovation at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has discovered a pathway to encourage a type of lignin formation in plants that could make the processing of crops grown for products such as sustainable jet fuels easier and less costly.

Unhealthy global diets are damaging human and planetary health

A global diet that increasingly includes ultra-processed foods is having a negative impact on the diversity of plant species available for human consumption while also damaging human and planetary health, according to a commentary published in the journal BMJ Global Health.

New approach to assess motility and invasive capacity of cancer cells in a tissue section

There are many proteins involved in the spread of cancer. However, some of them are notably difficult to observe in patient tissue samples.

Minuscule involuntary eye movements are not drivers of brain signals underlying attention

Minuscule involuntary eye movements, known as microsaccades, can occur even while one is carefully staring at a fixed point in space.

Study reveals why infected individuals cannot get rid of HIV altogether

Thanks to antiretroviral therapy, HIV infection is no longer the life sentence it once was. But despite the effectiveness of drugs to manage and treat the virus, it can never be fully eliminated from the human body, lingering in some cells deep in different human tissues where it goes unnoticed by the immune system.
