:: Giving roots and shoots their space: The Advanced Plant HabitatThe Advanced Plant Habitat (APH), a recent addition to the International Space Station, is the largest growth chamber aboard the orbiting laboratory. Roughly the size of a mini-fridge, the habitat is designed to test which growth conditions plants prefer in space and provides specimens a larger root and shoot area. This space in turn will allow a wider variety of crops to grow aboard the station.

:: Global first determination of crystal structure of gastric proton pumpNagoya University-centered researchers determined the first crystal structure the gastric proton pump H+, K+-ATPase responsible for acidifying gastric juice down to pH1. The team presented crystal structures of the H+, K+-ATPase in complex with two blockers, vonoprazan and SCH28080, at 2.8 Å resolution. This provides important information for refinement of existing drugs and discovery of new drugs

:: Glucagon bidrager til leveren zonering [Fysiologi] Lever zonering karakteriserer adskillelsen af ​​metaboliske veje langs lobulerne og er nødvendig for optimal funktion. Wnt / β-catenin-signalstyring styrer metabolisk zonering ved at aktivere gener i de perifere hepatocytter, samtidig med at de undertrykker gener i periportale modstykker. Vi demonstrerer nu, at glucagon modsætter sig virkningerne af Wnt / β-catenin signalering på genekspression …
:: GLUT5 fluorescerende sonde fingeraftryk cancercellerDet bestemmelse af kræft, såvel som dets type og malignitet, er en stressende proces for patienter, der kan tage op til to uger for at få en diagnose.
