Pertussis, or whooping cough, continues to cause periodic outbreaks worldwide and can be especially dangerous for infants who have not completed vaccination. Yet conventional surveillance depends on people seeking medical care, being tested, diagnosed, and reported, which can delay recognition of changes in community transmission.

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are posing serious threats to genome stability. During mitosis, cells mainly rely on polymerase theta (Polθ) -mediated repair to fix these breaks. However, how the CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex regulates this process remains unclear.

Have you ever wondered how a flower ensures that it's pollen-catching "landing pad" (the stigma) stays neatly separated from the "pollen tube highway" beneath it (the style)? This clear boundary is crucial for plant reproduction, but for decades, biologists didn't know how it was drawn. In a study published in PNAS , researcher s from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS

Parking congestion, vacant properties and climate change: there is no shortage of societal problems. People often look to the government for solutions. But the government could do with some help and could make greater use of so-called ‘prize-backed competitions’, argues Louise Verboeket. In her PhD thesis, she investigated how government organisations can best use this tool from a legal perspective.

Kidney disease is silent in its early stages, progressing without symptoms until the disease is advanced. Researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, in collaboration with researchers at WashU Medicine and at Texas A&M University, have been developing a minimally invasive method to improve diagnosis in earlier stages. New research from the lab of Srikan

Stem cells possess the unique ability to self-renew and transform into different types of cells. For example, rare hematopoietic stem cells found in bone marrow can become any type of blood cell. Throughout life, they can produce new blood cells to replace those lost because of infection, bleeding, or chemotherapy. However, as people and animals age, hematopoietic stem cells become less effective.
