Short snouts and a flat profile -- within a span of 100 years, humans have significantly changed the shape of the skulls of German domestic pigs. This is likely down to new breeding practices introduced at the beginning of the 20th century. The researchers analyzed 3D scans of 135 skulls of wild boars and domestic pigs from the early 20th and 21st centuries.
DOI Ansgar Oberheide, Maxime van den Oetelaar, Jakob Scheele, Jan Borggrfe, Semmy Engelen, Michael Sattler, Christian Ottmann, Peter Cossar and Luc Brunsveld RSC Med Chem 2025 [link] Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are key regulators of various cellular processes. Modulating PPIs with small molecules has gained increasing attention in drug discovery, particularly targeting the 14-3-3 protein family, which interacts with several hundred client proteins and plays a central role in cellular net
One of the ultimate aims of protein design has long been to build entirely new enzymes — proteins that perform specific chemical reactions — from scratch. These molecular machines power various cellular processes, from converting sugar into energy to switching genes on and off. Both Cas9 and hydrolases (widely used in the dairy and laundry industries) are also enzymes.

Researchers have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes as the ever-changing neuronal activity in the temporal and frontal lobes of the brain during object recognition and recalling memories. This achievement promises further extraction of brain activity observed in various aspects of daily life.

THURSDAY, Feb. 27, 2025 -- With egg prices soaring due to a severe bird flu outbreak, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced a $1 billion plan to contain the disease and help poultry farmers recover. The outbreak has destroyed flocks.
Early CRISPR applications were often limited by the low editing efficiency of homology-directed repair (HDR) , the pathway for resolving DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) preferred by researchers. Compared to non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) , HDR occurs at a relatively low frequency, especially in nondividing cells. Scientists everywhere wistfully imagined being able to specify and correct single-base mutations without introducing DSBs at all.
Scientists have developed a lipid nanoparticle system capable of delivering messenger RNA (mRNA) to the brain via intravenous injection, a challenge that has long been limited by the protective nature of the blood-brain barrier. The findings demonstrate the potential of this technology to pave the way for future treatments for a wide range of conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, brain cancer, and drug addiction.

Clinical trial data management is increasingly challenging as studies grow in complexity. Quickly accessing and analyzing study data is vital for assessing trial progress and patient safety. In this paper, we explore real-time data access and analysis for proactive study management. We investigate using adverse event (AE) data to monitor safety and discuss a clinical analytics platform that supports collaboration and data review workflows.
An in-house molecule library was screened using in silico molecular docking, and a myo-inositol derivative was identified as a potent hit molecule. The invitro biochemical assays validated that J1-65 inhibits PTP-PEST activity competitively and the inhibitor binding stabilizes the protein-ligand complex. ABSTRACT PTP-PEST (also known as PTPN12) regulates cellular signaling and transduction pathways by dephosphorylating its substrate.
MONDAY, Feb. 24, 2025 -- People taking the weight-loss drug semaglutide could be at a slightly increased risk for a potentially blinding eye condition that affects the optic nerve, a new study says.Patients on semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) had a.
Clinical research has entered a new era, one that requires real-time analytics and visualization to allow trial leaders to work collaboratively and to develop, at the click of a mouse, deep insights that enable proactive study management. Learn how Revvity Signals helps drug developers deliver clinical trial data insights in real-time using a fast and flexible data and analytics platform to empower data-driven decision-making.
Climate scientists present a realistic supercomputer simulation that resolves the complex interactions between fire, vegetation, smoke and the atmosphere. The authors find that increasing greenhouse gas emissions will likely increase the global lightning frequency by about 1.6% per degree Celsius global warming, with regional hotspots in the eastern United States, Kenya, Uganda and Argentina.
Merve Demir,*, Laura Koepping, Ya Li, Lynn Fujimoto, Andrey Bobkov, Jianhua Zhao, Taro Hitosugi, Eduard Sergienko Structure, 2024 [link] Mitochondrial creatine kinases (MtCKs) are key players in maintaining energy homeostasis in cells that work with cytosolic creatine kinases for energy transport from mitochondria to cytoplasm. The inhibition of breast cancer growth by cyclocreatine targeting CKs indicates dependence of cancer cells on the energy shuttle for cell growth and survival.

New assessment warns area the size of the USA will become too hot during extreme heat events for even healthy young humans to maintain a safe body temperature if we hit 2 degrees Celsuis above preindustrial levels. For those aged over 60, the same 2 degree rise would see more than a third of the planet's land mass cross this critical 'overheating' threshold.

Who hasn't been there? The big meal is over, you're full, but the craving for sweets remains. Researchers have now discovered that what we call the 'dessert stomach' is rooted in the brain. The same nerve cells that make us feel full after a meal are also responsible for our craving for sweets afterwards.
