Understanding the dynamics of snow cover in forests can help us predict flood risks
For more than six months a year, Quebec's boreal forest is covered in a thick blanket of snow. While this is essential for the balance of our ecosystems, for the people living downstream from forested watersheds the snow can be like a sword of Damocl.....»»

RNA modification: Mechanisms and therapeutic targets
RNA modifications are dynamic and reversible chemical modifications on substrate RNA that regulate mRNA stability, translation, and localization. This review is designed by Dr. Junhong Han and written by his postdoctoral researcher Dr. Lei Qiu and P.....»»
Ever wonder how your body turns food into fuel? Researchers tracked atoms to find out
Inside our bodies at every moment, our cells are orchestrating a complex dance of atoms and molecules that uses energy to create, distribute and deploy the substances on which our lives depend......»»
Glucagon receptor structures uncover new arrestin interaction mechanism
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are essential for cell signal transduction and constitute the largest drug target protein family. Upon agonist stimulation, these receptors activate multiple downstream transducers, including G proteins and arresti.....»»

MHZ9 modulates ethylene signaling at translational level in rice
Ethylene is a versatile gaseous plant hormone that plays an important role in rice growth, development, and environmental adaptation. Translational control allows the mRNA to be translated in an mRNA-selective, signal-responsive, and rapid manner......»»
Ocean skin helps regulate ocean carbon uptake, study finds
At less than one millimeter thick, the ocean skin—the ocean's uppermost layer—plays an outsized role in marine processes, orchestrating heat and chemical exchange between the sea and sky via diffusion. The water of the skin is cooler by about 0.2.....»»

Considerable but unsustainable water supply from thawing permafrost on the Tibetan Plateau in a changing climate
In a warming climate, the sustainability of cryospheric meltwater on the Tibetan Plateau has raised concerns because of its importance for the fragile ecosystem in the headwater regions and the dense populations in the downstream. Existing studies ma.....»»
Researchers induce cancer cells to "commit suicide" with a self-produced bacterial toxin
For the first time in the world researchers at Tel Aviv University have encoded a toxin produced by bacteria into mRNA (messenger RNA) molecules and delivered these particles directly to cancer cells, causing the cells to produce the toxin—which ev.....»»
