Differential dynamics and direct interaction of bound ligands with lipids in multidrug transporter ABCG2
ABC transporters constitute a major class of multidrug resistance proteins, e.g., in cancer cells. Membrane lipids have been long known to influence the structure and functional dynamics of these proteins. However, previous structural and biochemical.....»»
Researchers show the link between trawls and climate change in the North Sea
Fishing trawls cause significant CO2 emissions as they stir up the carbon bound in the seabed and release it again. It is also clear that they drastically affect ecosystems in the ocean. A new study by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon models the influenc.....»»
New study unveils how water dynamics slow down at low temperatures
A scientist at the Institute for Molecular Science has published a study that provides insight into the puzzling phenomenon of dynamic slowdown in supercooled water, an essential step toward understanding the glass transition in liquids......»»
Scientists elucidate substrate recognition and proton coupling mechanism of transporter protein VMAT2
Vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) is the only transporter protein in the central nervous system that mediates the storage of monoamine neurotransmitters. It plays a critical role in mediating nerve impulse transmission and neuroprotection......»»
Personalized phage therapy heals resistant wounds in Siamese cat
A new study has shown an advance in the treatment of antibiotic-resistant infections in animals. The research, focusing on a 5-year-old Siamese cat Squeaks with a multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection post-arthrodesis surgery, marks th.....»»

Researchers reveal how acetylation regulates centromere dynamics, chromosome segregation and mitotic progression
Cell division produces new cells, which underpin life proliferation and development. Mitosis is the shortest and the most dynamic phase of the cell cycle. During mitosis, chromosomes are evenly distributed between the two daughter cells, preserving t.....»»
First topological quantum simulator device in strong light-matter interaction regime to operate at room temperatures
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have fabricated a device no wider than a human hair that will help physicists investigate the fundamental nature of matter and light. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, coul.....»»

The Bluesky microblogging platform, launched last year, is getting a major update this week. Starting today, users can finally send and receive direct messages (DMs) – a long-awaited feature for those who use Bluesky every day. more….....»»
Arc Search for iPhone goes conversational with ‘Call Arc’ feature
Today in the latest update to Arc Search for iPhone, search is becoming more conversational. The new ‘Arc Search’ feature aims to replicate the dynamics of talking on the phone, providing Arc users with a more voice assistant-like experience......»»
New insights into the interaction of femtosecond lasers with living tissue
Nonlinear light microscopy has revolutionized our ability to observe and understand complex biological processes. However, light can also damage living matter. Yet, the mechanism behind the irreversible perturbation of cellular processes by intense l.....»»
Scientists develop novel approach to interrogate tissue-specific protein–protein interactions
Multicellular organisms, like animals and plants, have complex cells with diverse functions. This complexity arises from the need for cells to produce distinct proteins that interact with each other. This interaction is crucial for cells to carry out.....»»
Bluesky finally adds a feature many had been waiting for
X rival Bluesky has finally added direct messages to its app, though at the current time they're not end-to-end encrypted......»»
A merger of microbes: Study shows low-nutrient conditions alter viral infection
This much we know: When viruses infect bacteria—a common occurrence in oceans, soils, even human guts—the interaction results in the creation of entirely new organisms called "virocells." But scientists are still learning about how this merger of.....»»
New insights into the degradation dynamics of organic material in the seafloor
The long-term deposition of organic material in sediments on the ocean floor is a key process in the global carbon cycle. The question of whether, from a chemical perspective, the deposited material is more similar to marine algae or the microorganis.....»»
Promethium bound: New study uncovers rare earth element"s properties
Scientists have uncovered the properties of a rare earth element that was first discovered 80 years ago at the very same laboratory, opening a new pathway for the exploration of elements critical in modern technology, from medicine to space travel......»»
Veeam fixes auth bypass flaw in Backup Enterprise Manager (CVE-2024-29849)
Veeam has patched four vulnerabilities in Backup Enterprise Manager (VBEM), one of which (CVE-2024-29849) may allow attackers to bypass authentication and log in to its web interface as any user. With no user interaction required for remote exploitat.....»»
Study decodes dimerization and antidepressant recognition at noradrenaline transporter
The noradrenaline transporter, also known as the norepinephrine transporter (NET), is a member of the monoamine transporters (MATs) family, which also includes serotonin transporter (SERT) and dopamine transporter (DAT). These transporters collective.....»»
Designing a tiny new tool to map and treat children"s brain cancer
Medulloblastoma is the most common cancerous brain tumor in children, and fighting it requires an approach that is delicate, durable, and direct. Now a group of researchers at UQ's Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN) bel.....»»
Decarbonization dynamics: New analysis unveils shifting trends in the voluntary carbon offset market
As humanity grapples with the fight against climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions is urgently necessary. One way to achieve this is through the carbon offset market, where organizations or individuals can buy credits from emissions-reduci.....»»
Expanding on the fundamental principles of liquid movement
