Art and science: Intersections of art and science ... - EMBO reports
Dec 27, 2018 · Art and science have coexisted, often indistinguishable from each other, across time and space. A wealth of early documented examples comes from the Islamic culture, where art and science joined in intricate star‐shaped architectural geometries, and the use of “Nur” (light) and material science to design utensils and lettering in manuscripts 2.

6 days ago · Felix Randow. It remained unknown how the ubiquitin ligase RNF213 can antagonize phylogenetically distant pathogens. This study shows that RNF213 evolved under positive selection and that it attacks pathogens through rate-limiting initiation events and enzymatically amplified recruitment.

Biodiversity crisis or sixth mass extinction?: - EMBO reports
Dec 9, 2021 · A couple of decades ago, some scientists suggested that the ongoing anthropogenic biodiversity crisis is similar in terms of scope to the five major mass extinctions that occurred in past geologic times and coined the term “sixth extinction” (Leakey & Levin, 1995).This term and its equivalent “sixth mass extinction” have become popular in both scientific and nonscientific debates and ...
The stigma of mental disorders: A millennia‐long history of social ...

Mitigating the ecological collapse of coral reef ecosystems: …
Mar 2, 2023 · Coral reef ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots that provide a habitat for about a third of all marine species (Fisher et al, 2015)—which is why colloquially they are referred to as the “rainforests of the sea”.In addition to their immense ecological importance, coral reefs offer a wealth of ecosystem services to millions of people, including the …
Molecular mechanisms and physiological functions of mitophagy
Jan 13, 2021 · Figure 1. Overview of mitophagy. (1) Intra‐ and extracellular cues promote isolation of excess or damaged mitochondria via fragmentation of tubular networks. (2) Mitophagy receptors or ubiquitin–autophagy adaptors that confer selectivity for degradation are recruited and/or activated on the surface of mitochondria.
Desert plants to stop desertification: To succeed, reforestation ...
Dec 29, 2022 · Desertification is caused by many factors, and climate change is neither the sole reason nor a main contributor (Arneth et al, 2019).The main causes are unsustainable land use driven by overpopulation, increasing urbanization, industrial exploitation, and a massive increase in food demand that, together, slowly degrade drylands and even more fertile lands into infertile deserts (Burrell et al ...
