Microbial polyphenol metabolism is part of the thawing permafrost carbon cycle - Nature Microbiology
Nature· 3 days agoDiverse microbial polyphenol transformations in thawing permafrost refute the theory that these compounds stabilize soil carbon across Arctic landscapes.
Convergent evolution of fern nectaries facilitated independent recruitment of ant-bodyguards from...
Nature· 7 days agoSome plants use nectar to attract ant bodyguards. Here, the authors use a cross-kingdom phylogenetic approach to find that ferns and angiosperms evolved nectaries in the Cretaceous, coinciding ...
Transgene removal using an in cis programmed homing endonuclease via single-strand annealing in the...
Nature· 2 days agoThis study demonstrates that inserted transgene sequences in the Aedes aegypti genome can be pre-programmed to remove themselves and restore a formerly disrupted target gene through the in cis activity of homing endonucleases.

Neurophysiological avenues to better conceptualizing adaptive cognition - Communications Biology
Nature· 7 days agoThis article explores novel routes to better analyze neural processes underlying the brain’s adaptability and cognitive functioning, focusing on executive functions and cognitive control. It ...
Phosphorylation of caspase-8 by RSKs via organ-constrained effects controls the sensitivity to...
Nature· 7 days agoCaspase-8 (Casp8) serves as an initiator of apoptosis or a suppressor of necroptosis in context-dependent manner. Members of the p90 RSK family can phosphorylate caspase-8 at threonine-265 ( ...
Multidimensional primate niche space sheds light on interspecific competition in primate evolution -...
Nature· 4 days ago7-dimensional niche space of 191 primate species shows niche diversity is partitioned unequally. Interspecific competition is lowest in great apes and highest in callitrichids.
Higher surface folding of the human premotor cortex is associated with better long-term learning...
Nature· 6 days agoA brain imaging study shows that humans with more complex cortical folds in a premotor brain region have a higher capacity to learn a challenging new motor skill during six weeks of practice.
In vitro generation of genetic diversity for directed evolution by error-prone artificial DNA...
Nature· 7 days agoError-prone artificial DNA synthesis (epADS) is presented as an effective method for in vitro generation of genetic diversity for directed evolution of various types of genetic parts, synthetic gene circuits and even microbes.
Excitable dynamics driven by mechanical feedback in biological tissues - Communications Physics
Nature· 7 days agoMany excitable systems share a common feedback motif, but how such feedback acts on biomechanical systems remains largely unexplored. By extending the cellular vertex models to incorporate mechanochemical ...
