Art and science: Intersections of art and science ... - EMBO reports
Dec 27, 2018 · Art and science have coexisted, often indistinguishable from each other, across time and space. A wealth of early documented examples comes from the Islamic culture, where art and science joined in intricate star‐shaped architectural geometries, and the use of “Nur” (light) and material science to design utensils and lettering in manuscripts 2.
How plants manage pathogen infection | EMBO reports
Dec 19, 2023 · Many foliar pathogens invade plants through stomata, pores in the epidermis of aerial tissues, which control gas exchange and water balance (Lin et al, 2022).Plants have evolved stomatal immunity that closes stomata upon pathogen infection via recognition of MAMPs, thereby restricting pathogen entry into leaf inner tissues (Melotto et al, 2006).In recent years, researchers have identified a ...

Dec 16, 2024 · This cover highlights the article ZBTB48 is a priming factor regulating B-cell-specific CIITA expression by Grishma Rane, Dennis Kappei and colleagues. The study identifies how ZBTB48, represented as pangolins, binds to two distinct binding sites at the B-cell-specific promoter of CIITA, the master regulator of the MHC-II immune gene expression program, to activate the CIITA "switchboard" and ...

A guidebook for DISCO tissue clearing - Molecular Systems Biology
Mar 26, 2021 · Lastly, hydrophobic or solvent‐based clearing methods rely on organic solvents to render the tissues transparent. While this approach dates back to Spalteholz’ protocol described in 1911, it did not draw much attention at the time with the exception of a few publications elaborating on the method (Dent et al, 1989; Klymkowsky & Hanken, 1991).It later re‐emerged with 3D imaging of solvent ...
Desert plants to stop desertification: - EMBO reports
Dec 29, 2022 · Desertification is caused by many factors, and climate change is neither the sole reason nor a main contributor (Arneth et al, 2019).The main causes are unsustainable land use driven by overpopulation, increasing urbanization, industrial exploitation, and a massive increase in food demand that, together, slowly degrade drylands and even more fertile lands into infertile deserts (Burrell et al ...
Fermentation for future food systems: - EMBO reports
The growing human population and global warming pose an impending threat for global food security (Linder, 2019).This has prompted a critical re‐examination of the food supply chain from producers to consumers in order to increase the overall efficiency of …
RNA ‐based medicine: from molecular mechanisms to therapy
Sep 20, 2023 · The notion of RNA as a regulatory molecule in eukaryotic cells took hold in 1993, when Victor Ambros, Gary Ruvkun and colleagues identified lin‐4 as a regulator of Caenorhabditis elegans development (Lee et al, 1993; Wightman et al, 1993).Curiously, lin‐4 did not encode a protein, but expressed a precursor RNA that is processed into a short, double‐stranded RNA.

Dec 19, 2024 · This month's cover highlights the article A novel bacterial effector protein mediates ER-LD membrane contacts to regulate host lipid droplets by Stacey D. Gilk, Rajendra Angara and Arif Sadi. The cover shows a 3D rendering of a Z-stack image using the Alpha-blending algorithm in the NIS elements software illustrating the localization of the secreted bacterial effector protein CbEPF1 (red ...
