Key and lock: How important proteins 'dock' to the centromere

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins -- KNL2 and CENP-C -- dock to the centromere -- components which play a central role in this process.

The Guardian of the Brain – Microglia.

In mammalian brains, neurons are often considered the most abundant cells, but in reality, they are far outnumbered by another type of cell: glial cells. Glial cells account for about 90% of the total cellular content in the brain, with microglia making up about 20% of this glial population. Despite their smaller proportion, microglia play a crucial role in maintaining the tissue homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia are the primary immune cells of the CNS, and their functions extend beyond immune responses in diseases. Читать дальше...

How can Dutch battery startups win big? Focus on supply chain ‘pinch points,’ says CEO

Dutch battery startups must innovate at “critical pinch points” in the supply chain to compete globally, says Kevin Brundish, CEO of Eindhoven-based battery company LionVolt.

Method can detect harmful salts forming in nuclear waste melters

A new way to identify salts in nuclear waste melters could help improve clean-up technology, including at the Hanford Site, one of the largest, most complex nuclear waste clean-up sites in the world. Researchers used two detectors to find thin layers of sulfate, chloride and fluoride salts during vitrification, a nuclear waste storage process that involves converting the waste into glass. The formation of salts can be problematic for waste processing and storage.

Exploring the eco-friendly future of antibiotic particles

Goji berries are a ubiquitous superfood known for a multitude of health benefits, including their antibiotic properties. Researchers have now found an effective way to harvest silver nanoparticles from these berries. They created the nanoparticles by drying, grinding, and then filtering the goji berries to create an extract. Then, they added chemical silver nitrate (AgNO3) and reduced the solution. The silver nanoparticles were confirmed using visualization techniques and tested for their antimicrobial activity.
