A cutting-edge study has unveiled the genetic mechanisms that shape the vibrant purple leaves of tea plants, renowned for their health-enhancing anthocyanins. By exploring the genetic variations and differential gene expression behind this unique coloration, the research provides key insights into the molecular control of anthocyanin biosynthesis, paving the way for innovations in tea breeding.
We are thrilled to announce that five of our journals include Fruit Research, Vegetable Research, Ornamental Plant Research, Grass Research and Forestry Research have been officially indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) of Web of Science. This achievement marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to elevate the global visibility and academic impact of our journals.
Alessandro Vasciaveo, PhD, joined Sanford Burnham Prebys as an assistant professor in computational biology and artificial intelligence in fall 2024. He uses his training and experience as a scientist and engineer to advance knowledge of human biology through research, and to identify novel treatments and cures for diseases.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai will offer a joint Ph.D. program in health sciences engineering beginning in the fall semester of 2025. RPI is a world-renowned technological research university known for its engineering, technology, and science programs.
A new study has discovered that siderophores, molecules produced by certain bacteria, are instrumental in the microbiome's defense against Ralstonia solanacearum, a pathogen causing severe crop losses. The research indicates that siderophores significantly boost the inhibitory effects of Pseudomonas strains on the pathogen, particularly under iron-limited conditions, offering a new avenue for developing eco-friendly disease control strategies in agriculture.

Building on previous work, researchers in ACS Infectious Diseases have demonstrated a potential antibacterial treatment from a modified darobactin, a compound originally from a bacterium. The team reports proof-of-concept animal trials on infections caused by bacteria, including E. coli, that are known to develop drug resistance.
A research team reveals how a low-cost imaging phenotyping system successfully uncovers the mechanisms of quantitative disease resistance (QDR) in wild tomato species.
Sean Crosson, a Professor Rudolph Hugh Endowed Chair in Michigan State University鈥檚 Department of Microbiology, Genetics and Immunology, has been awarded a $2.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health鈥檚 National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to study the cause of that very disease, Brucella abortus.
Solis will provide end-to-end genomics services enabling better-informed decisions, resulting in the development of more productive and resilient plants and animals
Mutations in certain genes can lead to the accumulation of DNA errors, resulting in a specific type of genetic change known as large tandem duplications (TDs) that can arise from the collision of two critical cellular processes: transcription and DNA replication.
Lung cancer is responsible for approximately 1 in 4 cancer deaths in the United States, making it the deadliest cancer among Americans. However, early detection and advancements in treatment can significantly improve patient outcomes.
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed an innovative testing strategy for mesothelioma that could potentially increase the detection rate of cancer DNA in the blood.
An international team of neuro-oncology researchers and clinicians has released new recommendations for good clinical practice regarding the use of artificial intelligence methods to more accurately diagnose, monitor and treat brain cancer.
The Wistar Institute鈥檚 Hubert J.P. Schoemaker Education and Training Center was the recipient of a $100,000 eXperience grant from NIIMBL to support an immersive weeklong training program at the Institute.
In patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low breast cancer, the molecular classification of their case plays a pivotal role in the formulation of personalized treatment plans aimed at optimizing outcomes. Despite notable advancements in this field, significant challenges persist. Issues such as pre-analytical variability, interpretative ambiguity, and inconsistent threshold definitions hinder accurate diagnosis and subsequent treatment decisions. In this context, emerging liquid biopsy technologies present a promising solution.
Cedars-Sinai investigators are one step closer to manufacturing stem cells in space, which could speed up the development of new medical therapies on Earth. The first published data from the experiments conducted on a private space mission appeared in the peer-reviewed Nature portfolio journal NPJ Microgravity.
The Maryland Stem Cell Research Commission (MSCRC) announces the release of a Request for Applications (RFA) for the Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund's (MSCRF) second funding cycle of Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25).
In the lab of Minna Roh-Johnson, PhD, great science and great mentorship are inextricable. Now, up to $250,000 in federal funding from the National Cancer Institute has made that philosophy concrete by advancing cancer research and building scientific community.
A la mayor铆a de la gente no le gusta aplicarse vacunas o inyecciones para recibir tratamientos. Por eso, los investigadores trabajan para crear m谩s medicamentos, como los que se fabrican a partir de ARN mensajero (ARNm), que puedan pulverizarse e inhalarse. Un estudio publicado en la revista Journal of the American Chemical Society informa sobre los avances para hacer posible los medicamentos de ARNm inhalables. Los investigadores indican que la nanopart铆cula de pol铆mero lip铆dico, que es estable cuando se nebuliza y libera aerosoles (gotitas l铆quidas) en los pulmones de ratones de forma satisfactoria, se optimiz贸 para contener el ARNm.
