Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are sugar-containing membrane lipids that help organize cell surfaces and regulate signaling, immune recognition, differentiation and neuronal function. Human cells produce several hundred GSL species through stepwise modification of their sugar groups, and this diversity begins with a single committed reaction, in which uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) ceramide

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.

Scientists have recently reconstructed the ancestral karyotype of the banana family, revealing how chromosome numbers decreased stepwise from 17 to 9 - 11 over evolutionary time. The study was led by scientists from the South China Botanical Garden (SCBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with researchers from Sichuan University and other institutions . The findings were p

A new federal directive on childhood vaccines is putting federal policy at odds with leading medical organizations. President Donald Trump’s Aug. 10 executive order calls for reducing the number of vaccines routinely recommended for all children, separating the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine into individual shots and, when possible, spacing childhood vaccines across separate medical visits.
