Evaluation of 3D seed structure and cellular traits in-situ using X-ray microscopy.

Phenotyping methods for seed morphology are mostly limited to two-dimensional imaging or manual measures. In this study, we present a novel seed phenotyping approach utilizing lab-based X-ray microscopy (XRM) to characterize 3D seed morphology, internal structures, and cellular analysis from a singl...

Variability in storm season intensity modulates ocean acidification conditions in the northern Strait of Georgia.

Variability in storm season intensity modulates ocean acidification conditions in the northern Strait of Georgia.

Large changes in marine CO2 chemistry manifest in areas with weakly-buffered seawater where ocean acidification (OA) acts in concert with natural CO2 additions. These settings can exhibit periods of extreme OA in the form of multiple co-occurring stressors, including calcite undersaturation and low....

Analysis of drought and extreme precipitation events in Thailand: trends, climate modeling, and implications for climate change adaptation.

Thailand is under threat from climate change, where extreme climate events are expected to intensify and increase in the coming decades. The objective is to assess extreme drought and rainfall events in Thailand based on climate modeling through an ensemble for future projections of extreme climate....

Efficacy and safety of the enhanced monofocal intraocular lens in glaucoma of varying severity.

Efficacy and safety of the enhanced monofocal intraocular lens in glaucoma of varying severity.

This study evaluates the safety and visual outcomes of enhanced monofocal intraocular lenses compared to standard monofocal intraocular lenses in patients with varying severities of glaucoma. Utilizing data from surgeries performed in 2021, the study involved patients aged 40 and older with visually...

Real-time analysis of initiation regulation systems during the progression of the reconstituted chromosomal replication cycle.

Chromosome replication in Escherichia coli is primarily regulated at the initiation stage, where the DnaA protein activates replication at the chromosomal origin, oriC. Both DnaA and oriC undergo feedback regulation based on replication progression. Previously, we reconstituted the entire replicatio...

Unveiling the drivers of active participation in social media discourse.

The emergence of new public forums in the form of online social media has introduced unprecedented challenges to public discourse, including polarization, misinformation, and the rise of echo chambers. Existing research has extensively examined these topics by focusing on the active actions performe...

Watch Scientific Reports author Simona Francese discuss her decision to publish in the journal and how it has impacted her research career. Dr. Francese is P...

Variations of autonomic arousal mediate the reportability of mind blanking occurrences.

Variations of autonomic arousal mediate the reportability of mind blanking occurrences.

Mind blanking (MB) is the inability to report mental events during unconstraint thinking. Previous work shows that MB is linked to decreased levels of cortical arousal, indicating dominance of cerebral mechanisms when reporting mental states. What remains inconclusive is whether MB can also ensue fr...

Taphonomic variation in vascular remains from Mesozoic non-avian dinosaurs.
14/02/2025

Taphonomic variation in vascular remains from Mesozoic non-avian dinosaurs.

The identity and source of flexible, semi-transparent, vascular-like components recovered from non-avian dinosaur bone are debated, because: (1) such preservation is not predicted by degradation models; (2) taphonomic mechanisms for this type of preservation are not well defined; and (3) although su...

Distinct water and phosphorus extraction patterns are key to maintaining the productivity of sorghum under drought and limited soil resources.

Nutrient and water limitations contribute to yield losses in semi-arid regions. Therefore, crop rotations incorporating nitrogen-fixing legumes and drought-tolerant sorghum varieties offer a strategy to improve the utilization of scarce soil resources. Under semi-arid, field-like conditions, sorghum...

MCU expression in hippocampal CA2 neurons modulates dendritic mitochondrial morphology and synaptic plasticity.

MCU expression in hippocampal CA2 neurons modulates dendritic mitochondrial morphology and synaptic plasticity.

Neuronal mitochondria are diverse across cell types and subcellular compartments in order to meet unique energy demands. While mitochondria are essential for synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity, the mechanisms regulating mitochondria to support normal synapse function are incompletely unde...

Comparative and phylogenetic analyses of the chloroplast genomes of mangrove plants

Comparative and phylogenetic analyses of the chloroplast genomes of mangrove plants

Mangrove ecosystems play a crucial role in coastal environment by stabilizing shorelines, reducing erosion, and providing habitat for diverse wildlife. However, there are fewer studies on the genetic management of mangrove plants. In this study, the chloroplast genome of Hibiscus tiliaceus L. was ob...

Me vs. the machine? Subjective evaluations of human- and AI-generated advice

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) has the potential to vastly improve human decision-making. In line with this, researchers have increasingly sought to understand how people view AI, often documenting skepticism and even outright aversion to these tools. In the present research, we complement these...

Habitat conservation enhances the resilience of the lizard Liolaemus cuyumhue to high summer temperatures

Habitat degradation from human activities affects essential microhabitats, threatening ecological processes like foraging, mating, locomotion, predator evasion, and competition among reptiles. We assessed how microhabitat selection and body temperature of the endangered lizard Liolaemus cuyumhue res...

Room temperature CRISPR diagnostics for low-resource settings

Room temperature CRISPR diagnostics for low-resource settings

Maintaining elevated reaction temperatures and multi-step sample preparations increases the costs and complexity of diagnostics, impeding their deployment in low-resource settings. Here, we develop a one-pot, room temperature recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-CRISPR reaction that removes th...

Digital quantum simulation of cosmological particle creation with IBM quantum computers

We use digital quantum computing to simulate the creation of particles in a dynamic spacetime. We consider a system consisting of a minimally coupled massive quantum scalar field in a spacetime undergoing homogeneous and isotropic expansion, transitioning from one stationary state to another through...

Novel brain SPECT imaging unravels abnormal cerebral perfusion in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and cognitive dysfunction

Cognitive dysfunction is frequently reported in individuals with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), possibly resulting from reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF). We used brain SPECT, an accessible imaging modality that has not been systematically evaluated in this patient group. Retrospe...

Radon on Mars and the Moon derived from Martian and lunar meteorites

The radioactive gas radon-222, a fluid and aerosol tracer in Earth’s lithosphere and atmosphere, can also reveal subtle rock physics processes in extraterrestrial environments, such as those involving water, but remains poorly constrained in planetary bodies due to the limited number of samples av...
