| Inside the jellyfish's sting: Exploring the micro-architecture of a cellular weapon Posted: 23 Jun 2022 06:12 AM PDT Summertime beachgoers are all too familiar with the painful reality of a jellyfish sting. But how do the stinging cells of jellyfish and their coral and sea anemone cousins actually work? New research unveils a precise operational model for the stinging organelle of the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis. The study involved the application of cutting-edge microscopic imaging technologies along with the development of a biophysical model to enable a comprehensive understanding of a mechanism that has remained elusive for over a century. |
| How climate change can significantly impact one of the world's most important carbon-rich ecosystems Posted: 23 Jun 2022 06:12 AM PDT Mangrove forests play a vital role in the health of our planet. The trees and shrubs absorb a substantial amount of greenhouse gas emissions, help protect communities from rising sea levels, and act as nurseries for baby fish. |
| Scarless skin grafting using mussel adhesive protein Posted: 23 Jun 2022 06:12 AM PDT A professor develops a bioadhesive based on the mussel adhesive protein for sutureless skin grafting. Skin regenerative effect maximized with controlled releases of dual drugs. |
| Where once were black boxes, new LANTERN illuminates Posted: 22 Jun 2022 01:45 PM PDT A new statistical tool for predicting protein function could help with tasks ranging from producing biofuels to improving crops to developing new disease treatments. Not only could it help with the difficult job of altering proteins in practically useful ways, but it also works by methods that are fully interpretable -- an advantage over conventional AI. |
