Water shortages hitting crops, energy and health as crisis gathers pace amid climate breakdown

Abstract. Seeds provide 70% of the global food supply, making them crucial for food security. Understanding the molecular mechanisms governing seed develop

June 10, 2025 After the presentation of the European Competitiveness Fund, there has been much uncertainty regarding the positioning and funding for Research and Innovation in the next European Multia...

Seed germination is crucial for agricultural reproduction. A deep understanding of this process can secure healthy growth at the early phases of plant development and therefore the yield. Recent resea...

Biocompatible chemistry merges chemo-catalytic reactions with cellular metabolism for sustainable small-molecule synthesis. Now a biocompatible Lossen rearrangement has been demonstrated to control ba...

Advances in single-cell and spatial omics technologies have revolutionised biology by revealing the diverse molecular states of individual cells and their spatial organization within tissues. The fie...

Multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH) together with deep-learning-based nucleus segmentation enabled the construction of a highly detailed and informative spatially resolved single-cell atlas of human fetal cortical development.

Drought stress can damage crop growth and lead to a decline in yield, thereby affecting food security, especially in regions vulnerable to climate change. SNAC1 (stress-responsive NAC1), the NAC trans...
