The Longevity & Aging Series launched its second season with a premiere episode featuring Dr. Irina Conboy and Xiaoyue (Serafina) Mei from the University of California, Berkeley.

A comprehensive spatial transcriptomic atlas of non-human primate (NHP) ovarian aging reveals the cellular and molecular alterations associated with ovarian aging at spatial resolution.

An open-access catalog of the global ocean genome offers novel taxonomical and functional insights and unlocks the potential of blue biotechnology

Traditional juice extraction methods, though sufficient for juice production, have limitations in terms of yield, quality, nutritional value, and sustainability. This has led to a growing need for improved juice extraction methods that can address these challenges and meet the evolving preferences of health-conscious consumers. PEF excels in juice extraction with high efficiency, preserving sensory properties and nutrients, while consuming less energy and offering excellent scalability as compared to other physical field technologies.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have used robots and artificial intelligence to dramatically speed up data collection and analysis in X-ray studies of liquids.

A new study published in the January issue of the journal Forests has confirmed that the invasive A. yasumatsui, known as Cycad Aulacaspis Scale (CAS), stands alone as the greatest threat to the existence of the Cycas micronesica species.

Polyolefins are resistant to breaking down, making them hard to recycle. Scientists have now discovered a yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica, that uses hydrocarbons derived from polyolefin plastic wastes to produce substances that can be used to make biodegradable polyesters and polyurethanes. This would advance progress toward biological upcycling of plastic wastes in a circular bioeconomy.

Poplar trees are crucial for afforestation and urban greening, and their leaf development stages affect biomass accumulation.

A study by the Mycology and Environmental Microbiology Unit of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili has identified new species of fungi that may cause infections or diseases in people and animals. Carried out in river ecosystems, the research is part of a project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities on biodiversity and the role played by a large group of fungi, the ascomycetes, in the aquatic ecosystem. There is very little information on these fungi, specifically those that grow in sediment. The research also warns that in periods of drought some pathogenic species are even more dangerous to people’s health.
