Plastic-eating enzyme ‘cocktail’ heralds new hope for plastic waste

The same team who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme PETase have now created an enzyme ‘cocktail’ which can digest plastic up to six times faster. The scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme PETase have now created an enzyme ‘cocktail’ which can digest plastic up to six times faster. A second enzyme, found in the same rubbish … More Plastic-eating enzyme ‘cocktail’ heralds new hope for plastic waste

Process that might have led to first organic molecules

New research could have relevance to search for extraterrestrial life, green chemistry New research identifies a process that might have been key in producing the first organic molecules on Earth about 4 billion years ago, before the origin of life. The process, which is similar to what might have occurred in some ancient underwater hydrothermal … More Process that might have led to first organic molecules

A new discovery in regenerative medicine

Researchers have made an unexpected world-first stem cell discovery that may lead to new treatments for placenta complications during pregnancy. An international collaboration involving Monash University and Duke-NUS researchers have made an unexpected world-first stem cell discovery that may lead to new treatments for placenta complications during pregnancy. While it is widely known that adult … More A new discovery in regenerative medicine

E. coli bacteria offer path to improving photosynthesis

Scientists have engineered a key plant enzyme and introduced it in Escherichia coli bacteria in order to create an optimal experimental environment for studying how to speed up photosynthesis, a holy grail for improving crop yields. Cornell University scientists have engineered a key plant enzyme and introduced it in Escherichia coli bacteria in order to … More E. coli bacteria offer path to improving photosynthesis

Discovery of microbes with mixed membranes sheds new light on early evolution of life

Current research suggests that more complex life-forms, including humans, evolved from a symbiosis event between bacteria and another single-celled organism known as archaea. However, evidence of a transition period in which the two organisms mixed where nowhere to be found. That is, until now. In the deep waters of the Black Sea, a team of … More Discovery of microbes with mixed membranes sheds new light on early evolution of life

Living in an anoxic world: Microbes using arsenic are a link to early life

Much of life on planet Earth today relies on oxygen to exist, but before oxygen was present on our blue planet, lifeforms likely used arsenic instead. Much of life on planet Earth today relies on oxygen to exist, but before oxygen was present on our blue planet, lifeforms likely used arsenic instead. These findings are … More Living in an anoxic world: Microbes using arsenic are a link to early life

Artificial intelligence aids gene activation discovery

Machine learning enables long-awaited code breakthrough with potential applications in biomedicine Scientists have long known that human genes are activated through instructions delivered by the precise order of our DNA. With the aid of artificial intelligence, researchers have solved a long-standing DNA activation code mystery. Their discovery, which they termed the downstream core promoter region … More Artificial intelligence aids gene activation discovery

Biologists create new genetic systems to neutralize gene drives

Two active genetics strategies help address concerns about gene-drive releases into the wild Addressing concerns about gene drive releases in the wild, scientists have developed two new genetic systems that halt or eliminate gene drives after release. Created in fruit flies, the e-CHACRs and ERACRs are powerful gene drive control mechanisms that were meticulously developed … More Biologists create new genetic systems to neutralize gene drives
