A recent paper published in Developmental Cell by the Matos Lab (formerly IBC, now Max Perutz Labs in Vienna) in collaboration with the Pilhofer Lab (IMBB), the Beltrao Lab (IMSB), and the Aebersold Lab (IMSB) unveils a phosphoproteomic census covering th

A recent paper by the Pilhofer Lab (IMBB) and the Matos Lab (formerly IBC, now Max Perutz Labs in Vienna), published in the journal Cell, unveils a multiscale filament identification workflow to characterize protein filaments that assemble during the deve

In research published in the American Journal of Botany, University of Connecticut Department of Earth Sciences Assistant Professor in Residence Tammo Reichgelt has used citizen science data to show that while some ferns prefer to remain rural, others thr

Fine roots (≤2 mm in diameter), the main conduit for resource uptake in the plant-soil continuum, are one of the most metabolically active organs of trees. Due to the difficulty of directly observing root dynamics, quantifying fine root lifespan can be ch

Pioneering AI-powered research on butterflies has probed the under-studied evolution of females and adds to a debate between the founding fathers of evolution.

In the work of biomanufacturing, tanks of microbes are fine-tuned to produce compounds that can be used as carbon-neutral fuels, chemicals, materials and medicines, but researchers are still learning the basics of how to turbo-charge microbes for producti

A research team has developed an innovative method to quantify wheat uniformity using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imaging technology. This method estimates leaf area index (LAI), SPAD, fractional vegetation cover, and plant height, calculating 20 unifor

Locusts adapt their sense of smell to better detect sparse food sources in crowded swarms of up to billion animals, as researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Collective Behavior at the University of Konstanz discovered. They published their results in

The most climate-vulnerable countries with the highest hunger rates are significantly under-represented in agrifood research—sparking a need for urgent action and increased investments to redress this imbalance, a major new study has found.

The debate has raged for decades: Was it humans or climate change that led to the extinction of many species of large mammals, birds, and reptiles that have disappeared from Earth over the past 50,000 years?

A team of researchers have identified unexpected ways coral reef fish living in the warmest waters on Earth, in the Arabian Gulf, have adapted to survive extreme temperatures.

Disease-causing proteins can be removed from the cell through targeted protein degradation. For this, the protein must be connected to one of the approximately 600 endogenous so-called ubiquitin ligases. So far, clinical success has only been achieved wit
