Sea slugs steal foreign chloroplasts and store them in specialized organelles that facilitate photosynthesis and eventual digestion to mediate starvation resistance.

CryoEM structure of far-red light adapted allophycocyanin unveils evolutionary adaptations for far-red light photosynthesis and the molecular strategies for efficient light-harvesting under far-red li...

Interview with Omaya Dudin, who uses Ichthyosporea as models to study how and why unicellular organisms evolved multicellularity at the University of Geneva.

Particle annotations for the large-scale cryo-ET dataset of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii - Chromatin-Structure-Rhythms-Lab/ChlamyAnnotations

The LPD-3 complex structure reveals protein–lipid interactions that suggest a model for how the native LPD-3 complex mediates bulk lipid transport and provides a foundation for mechanistic studies of ...

Pathway analysis, originally developed for gene expression data, has been adapted for metabolomics. However, owing to the unique characteristics and constraints of metabolites compared with genes, pat...

The advent of clonal multicellularity is a critical evolutionary milestone, seen often in eukaryotes, rarely in bacteria, and only once in archaea. We show that uniaxial compression induces clonal mul...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) pose a significant threat to biological molecules, prompting organisms to develop systems that buffer oxidative stress and contain iron, which otherwise amplifies ROS pro...

Building on the success of the 2022 EMBO Workshop “When Predictions Meet Experiments: The Future of Structure Determination”, this second edition continues the journey at the interface of computation…

Bryophytes have achieved evolutionary success, spreading widely thanks to their genetic diversity. This review highlights recent advancements, from precise gene editing to synthetic genomics, and emp...

Nature Plants - Time to end the vascular plant chauvinism

Larson et al. use field work, lab experiments, and theory to demonstrate that the non-motile dinoflagellate Pyrocystis noctiluca uses rapid cellular inflation to travel tens of meters in the ocean. Th...
