DORA regulation’s nuts and bolts
The frequency, sophistication, and impact of cyber-attacks on financial institutions have been rising. Given the economic system’s interconnected nature, disruptions in one institution can have cascading effects on the broader financial market,.....»»
Researchers report novel cell size regulation mechanism in cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria are the earliest known oxygenic photosynthetic organisms on Earth, and they played decisive roles in the evolution of the environment and the life on our planet. Cell morphology and cell size of different cyanobacteria species vary wide.....»»
How cellular growth rate reshapes cell-fate-decision landscape
Genes and the regulation relationships among them create complex networks that determine cell differentiation trajectories. However, we still cannot understand and predict the cell-fate-decision process using network topology in a bottom-up manner......»»
Meta & Google shouldn"t be allowed to bully their way out of paying for news
Journalism has been nearly destroyed by Google and Facebook stealing news — and they should not be allowed to use threats to escape regulation demanding that they pay for profiting from it.Canadian lawmakers are debating whether to charge online pl.....»»
We can’t wait for SBOMs to be demanded by regulation
Old ads can be startling—cigarette ads used to boast their health-giving properties, sugar-laden candy was once advertised as a dietary aid, and soft drinks were advertised as a milk alternative for babies. None of this would fly today, of course,.....»»
First Tesla, now Nissan: Another EV recall to replace a steering wheel

Researchers call for better nanowaste management
Waste containing nanomaterials—or nanowaste—is an emerging safety concern worldwide, requiring environmentally sound management and regulation that still need to be established. Researchers at the University of Fribourg point out the gaps and pro.....»»
Exploring how the heart toggles between maintenance and energy-boost mode using ribosomes
Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona have discovered a mechanism involving ribosomes which helps the heart toggle between a 'regular maintenance mode' for day-to-day function and an 'energy-boost mode' which aids recove.....»»
US authorizes Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot on public freeway
German automaker Mercedes-Benz has won against Tesla to be authorized by the US to activate SAE Level-3 conditional autonomous driving on public freeway in the state of Nevada, although the regulation still requires a safety driver behind the wheel......»»
Tesla is recalling 3,470 Model Y crossovers for second-row seat fix
This time the recall requires physical inspection, not an OTA software update. Mistorqued bolts may need to be fixed in some Model Y second rows. (credit: Tesla) Rivian was not the only electric vehicle startup to featur.....»»
Scientists uncover phosphorylation-driven auxin signaling pathway for seed size regulation in rice
In a study published in Cell Reports, Prof. Song Xianjun's group from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered a gene network underlying the regulation of seed size in rice......»»
Researchers reveal multifaceted regulation of crassulacean acid metabolism in epiphytic orchid
Epiphytes are a distinct group in the Earth's carbon cycling ecosystems. Most vascular epiphytes are from the particularly species-rich orchid family (Orchidaceae), with about 70% of Orchidaceae species being epiphytes. Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (.....»»
Symbiosis between trees and fungi: Exploring the role of epigenetic regulation
Ectomycorrhizae is a symbiosis established between tree roots and soil-borne fungi. Intrinsic to temperate and boreal forest ecosystems, ectomycorrhizal symbiosis is critical for tree nutrition, especially water uptake, also affecting the capacity of.....»»
Mitotic chromosome condensation contributes to the homeostatic control of gene expression regulation
In a collaborative paper in published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Yves Barral with Jorrit Enserink and the Pierre Chymkowitch group in Norway show that the effects on transcription of chromosome condensation during mitosis.....»»
VinFast recalls 2,781 vehicles in Vietnam to replace loose bolts
Vietnamese EV startup VinFast said on Feb 18 that it is recalling 2,781 units of sports utility models VF8 in Vietnam to replace loose bolts connecting the front brake, according to Reuters......»»
New finding provides better understanding of oceans" capacity to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide
A new study demonstrates the important role of a common group of marine calcifying phytoplankton (coccolithophores) in the regulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere......»»
Studying epigenetic regulation at the single-molecule level
If one imagines the genome as an instruction manual for the functioning of a cell, every page of this manual is covered with annotations, highlights, and bookmarks. The role of some of these marks remains mysterious—do they actively direct the read.....»»
Supramolecular assembly assists the synthesis of highly active carbon-nitrogen-based photo/electrocatalysts
In a paper published in the journal National Science Open, the morphology and structure regulation methods of supramolecular assembly are summarized. Then, recent progresses of supramolecular assembly derived carbon-nitrogen-based materials for photo.....»»
Decoding a histone mark important for a gene regulation that goes awry in cancer
