There’s a new study out from the NIH (open access) tracking a cohort of people who became infected with SARS-CoV-2, and following them for an extended period. This sort of longitudinal data collection was set up to look for post-infection symptoms (generally known as “long Covid” or “post-Covid”), or in the paper’s own acronym, PASC […]
Read MoreIn the unceasing battle against dust, humans possess a deep arsenal of weaponry, from microfiber cloths to feather dusters to vacuum cleaners. But new research suggests that none of that technology can compare to nature’s secret weapon — biological soil crusts. These biocrusts are thin, cohesive layers of soil, glued together by dirt-dwelling organisms, that […]

Four billion years ago, lava spilled onto the moon’s crust, etching the man in the moon we see today. But the volcanoes may have also left a much colder legacy: ice. Two billion years of volcanic eruptions on the moon may have led to the creation of many short-lived atmospheres, which contained water vapor, a […]

Read MoreFactor Inhibiting Hypoxia Inducible Factor (FIH) has an important role in the response to low oxygen (hypoxia) in animals. FIH adds a hydroxyl (-OH) group onto the master regulator Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF), influencing its ability to activate hundreds of genes that mediate the body’s response to hypoxia. It also hydroxylates members of the ankyrin […]
Read MoreVersatile catalysts with new features and functions could revolutionize scientists’ synthetic strategies, paving the way for high-value chemicals and a greener chemical industry. In search of such catalysts, scientists have engineered an enzyme that can speed up an organic reaction well known for its extremely slow reaction rate.
