May 22 Root growth improved in soil contaminated with cesium by masataka sasabe | Hot Off the PressOveractivating the ABA signaling pathway in plants prevented cesium in soil from blocking root growth in plants. May 17 Japanese people are a mixture of three separate ancestral groups by jens wilkinson | Hot Off the PressA new study shows that the current Japanese population is derived from 3 ancestral groups, one of which brought Denisovan DNA to the party. May 13 Space Café Tokyo explains sus sci-fi media by kelly | What's Up With UsOur very own Kelly writes about how much fun she had at Space Café Tokyo. Softcore science and beer. May 10 Recipe for hydrogen: sprinkle manganese oxide with iridium atoms, add water by adam phillips | Hot Off the PressA few iridium atoms also go a long way. When sprinkled on manganese oxide, hydrogen is produced with 95% less iridium! May 6 Stable green hydrogen production in a PEM electrolyzer by adam phillips | Hot Off the PressA little structurally manipulated manganese goes a long way when using a PEM electrolyzer to make hydrogen from water. Apr 24 Brainless memory makes the spinal cord smarter than previously thought by adam phillips | Hot Off the PressThe spinal cord learns how to direct limb muscles to avoid aversive sensations and recalls the memories using separate neural circuitry. Oh, and without a brain! Apr 22 Eco-friendly ammonia production for fertilizers and alternative fuel by adam phillips | Hot Off the PressA new process that allows ammonia to be produced using much less energy than the standard methods. Apr 11 Cubes of brain tissue allow drug discovery without animals by masataka sasabe | Hot Off the PressModeling the blood-brain-barrier with brains-in-a-cube allows drug testing without the need for animals. Apr 3 Gut bacteria could help overcome milk allergy by adam phillips | Hot Off the PressAnalysis shows that some gut bacteria could help improve oral immunotherapy against milk allergy. Apr 2 Detecting pathogens: the evolution of plant immunity by masataka sasabe | Hot Off the PressScientists find recognition receptors for plant growth and plant immunity that share a common evolutionary origin. Mar 21 Genomic “butterfly effect” involving TADs explains risk for autism by masataka sasabe | Hot Off the PressDe novo mutations in three-dimensional structures in the genome containing known ASD genes were found to be associated with ASD risk.
