Mitofusin 2: An intracellular signaling pathway – The Hippocratic Post

Scientists Unveil Mechanisms That Cause Intracellular Communication: Mitofusin 2 is the Lock and Key. Researchers at IRB Barcelona, University of Barcelona (UB), VIMM, and University of Padua have revealed the important role of cell-produced Mitofusin 2 in connecting organelles within cells. As important structures with specialized functions, these organelles rely on complex connections to connect […]

Mammalian Evolution: A Natural Time Capsule to Reveal the Origins of Human Disease

Researchers from the UNC School of Medicine are using evolutionary genomics to understand human disease. They focus on genes that are invariant, tightly closed through mammalian evolution. This new concept allows the tracing of psychiatric and neurological diseases to changes in these genes. This could provide insight into a variety of psychological conditions and allow

Research shows CO2 sources from the Aleutian-Alaska Arc Mountains

Scientists wonder what happens to the organic and inorganic carbon that the Earth’s Pacific Plate carries with it as it sinks into the Earth’s interior along the ring of fire. New research shows how much of this reduced carbon returns to the atmosphere instead of going deep into the Earth’s mantle. The findings could improve

NASA and LEGO Continue Partnership with Bricks-Strength and Endurance with the Skills of LEGO Models

Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA-JPL) are busy keeping the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopters operating in Jezero Crater on Mars as robotic researchers continue to search for ancient microbes on the Red Planet. But some of those same engineers have been busy working with LEGO designers on the tenth new LEGO Technic building

Unraveling Fish Evolution: The Mysteries of River Erosion

MIT scientists have found that river erosion can support biodiversity in areas with little tectonic activity. The study, which focused on the Tennessee River Basin, showed that the erosion of various species of fish, which shows the impact on other species as well. This discovery emphasizes the role of geology in protecting biodiversity. The results

What causes bioluminescence in the ocean? Why do marine life glow in the summer?

Although these tiny creatures are among the smallest creatures in the ocean, their “flowers” can often be seen from the air. Phytoplankton are vital to the planet’s existence and contribute to the global atmosphere as producers of fresh air. The composition of phytoplankton blooms may change over time with ocean temperatures, scientists say. Phytoplankton can

Astronomers are surprised by the ‘planet that shouldn’t exist’

Daniel Huber is an astrophysicist at the University of Sydney. The search for planets outside our solar system – exoplanets – is one of the fastest growing fields in astronomy. Over the past few decades, more than 5000 exoplanets have been discovered and astronomers now estimate that there is approximately one exoplanet for every star
