As global oyster populations decline and fisheries collapse, archaeologists may be able to inform effective management with valuable, long-term perspectives of the human-oyster connections stretching back millennia.
Temperature is a key physiological factor that determines the speed of immune reactions. While this may seem obvious, it has remained largely unexplored at the single-cell level—until now. Stefan Wieser from the Institute of Zoology at the University of Innsbruck and his colleagues report in Developmental Cell that the motor protein Myosin II regulates the temperature sensitivity of immune cells and drives the acceleration of immune responses at elevated body temperature.
Researchers discovered that different genetic drivers of leukemia use the same compartments inside the cell nucleus to keep cancer growing. The finding points to a shared physical target that could inspire new kinds of treatments.
New research from Virginia Tech shows that controlling pond water levels and removing invasive hybrids may be key to protecting the endangered California tiger salamander.
