Mitochondria found to be protected by ketogenesis
Ketone bodies are generally an alternative energy source during starvation, but in newborns, ketogenesis is active regardless of nutritional status. In a recent study from Kumamoto University (Japan), researchers analyzed the effects of ketogenesis i.....»»
North Atlantic right whales have gotten smaller since the 1980s
Whales are largely protected from direct catch, but many populations' numbers still remain far below what they once were. A study published in the journal Current Biology on June 3 suggests that, in addition to smaller population sizes, those whales.....»»
Proteomics reveals how exercise increases the efficiency of muscle energy production
Mitochondria are the cell's power plants and produce the majority of a cell's energy needs through an electrochemical process called electron transport chain coupled to another process known as oxidative phosphorylation. A number of different protein.....»»
Protected areas cover a sixth of Earth"s land and freshwater
Roughly a sixth of the planet's land and freshwater area now lies within protected or conservation areas, according to a United Nations report released Wednesday......»»

Mothers can influence offspring"s height, lifespan and disease risk through mitochondria
Mitochondria—the 'batteries' that power our cells—play an unexpected role in common diseases such as type 2 diabetes and multiple sclerosis, concludes a study of over 350,000 people conducted by the University of Cambridge......»»
Horseradish flea beetle: Protected with the weapons of its food plant
Researchers demonstrate how the horseradish flea beetle regulates the accumulation of mustard oil glucosides in its body. The beetles have special transporters in the excretory system that prevent the excretion of mustard oil glucosides. This mechani.....»»
Only 17 percent of free-flowing rivers are protected, new research shows
New science about the fate of freshwater ecosystems released today by the journal Sustainability finds that only 17 percent of rivers globally are both free-flowing and within protected areas, leaving many of these highly-threatened systems—and the.....»»
Enzyme system for the hydrogen industry
An enzyme could make a dream come true for the energy industry: It can efficiently produce hydrogen using electricity and can also generate electricity from hydrogen. The enzyme is protected by embedding it in a polymer. An international research tea.....»»
Horseradish flea beetle: Protected with the weapons of its food plant
When horseradish flea beetles feed on their host plants, they take up not only nutrients but also mustard oil glucosides, the characteristic defense compounds of horseradish and other brassicaceous plants. Using these mustard oil glucosides, the beet.....»»
Sharks in protected area attract illegal fishers
Thousands of sharks have been illegally caught in a Marine Protected Area (MPA) in the Indian Ocean, new research shows......»»
How mitochondria make the cut: When and where the powerhouse of the cell divides
Mitochondria either split in half to multiply within the cell, or cut off their ends to get rid of damaged material. That's the take-away message from EPFL biophysicists in their latest research investigating mitochondrial fission. It's a major depar.....»»
Breakthrough study shows no-take marine reserves benefit overfished reefs
A powerful, long-term study from WCS adds scientific backing for global calls for conserving 30 percent of the world's ocean. The studied no-take marine protected areas (MPAs) increased the growth of fish populations by 42 percent when fishing was un.....»»
California could get 600,000 acres of new federally protected wilderness
California could get 600,000 new acres of federally protected wilderness under legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate on Monday. The designation would ensure the lands remain free of development, vehicles and commercial activity......»»
Hardware Hacker Breaks the DRM On a Mini Dishwasher
Developer dekuNukem has detailed a methodology for refilling the DRM-protected detergent cassettes for a $486 portable dishwasher called Bob. Gizmodo reports: Bob is basically a small dishwasher that sits on your counter. It holds half a dozen dishes.....»»
Shortage of DNA building blocks in the cell releases mitochondrial DNA
Mitochondria are the energy suppliers of our body cells. These tiny cell components have their own genetic material, which triggers an inflammatory response when released into the interior of the cell. The reasons for the release are not yet known, b.....»»
The best iPad Pro 11 (2021) cases and covers
The iPad Pro is finally here, and it's a monster. But you'll want to keep it protected. Here are the best iPad Pro 11 (2021) cases you can order right now......»»
A gene finding links severe canine juvenile epilepsy to mitochondrial dysfunction
In a study conducted at the University of Helsinki, researchers found a cause for severe epilepsy resulting in death in Parson Russell Terrier puppies at a few months of age. A change in the PITRM1 gene can lead to a dysfunction of mitochondria, the.....»»
Boxes of RTX 3080 Ti 12GB GPUs have been photographed on their way to LA
Caught in the camera’s lens are a handful of pallets, each containing a dozen boxes of maybe a hundred GPUs. The well-protected crate is labeled with the 3090 and aforementioned 3080 Ti. The cardboard boxes contain GeForce GT 710’s and Radeon RX.....»»
Scientists call for climate projections as part of more robust biodiversity conservation
Scientists have called for the use of climate projections in conservation planning, to ensure that areas most at risk from biodiversity loss and climate impacts are protected. Protected areas are often created in areas of low population density and r.....»»
