Mashup Score: 21New Japanese lily species identified, 1st addition to sukashiyuri group in 110 years - 11 day(s) ago
For the first time since 1914, a new species of the Japanese lily known as sukashiyuri has been identified. An Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team analyzed the morphology and DNA of these lilies and has revised the conventional classification from four taxonomic groups to eight.

Mashup Score: 8Lower dose of mpox vaccine is safe and generates six-week antibody response equivalent to standard regimen - 13 day(s) ago
A dose-sparing intradermal mpox vaccination regimen was safe and generated an antibody response equivalent to that induced by the standard regimen at six weeks (two weeks after the second dose), according to findings presented today at the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Global Congress in Barcelona. The results suggest that antibody responses contributed to the effectiveness of dose-sparing mpox vaccine regimens used during the 2022 U.S. outbreak.

Mashup Score: 5Quantum fiber optics in the brain enhance processing, may protect against degenerative diseases - 13 day(s) ago
Led by the Quantum Biology Laboratory (https://www.quantumbiolab.com/) at Howard University in Washington, DC, this study reports the discovery of a distinctly quantum effect in biology that survives warm, chaotic conditions and may also present a way for the brain to protect itself from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. The result, published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry and selected as an Editors’ Choice by Science magazine, is not only an important discovery for neuroscience, but also suggests new applications of techniques for quantum computing researchers, and represents a new way of thinking about the relationship between life and quantum mechanics. The work represents the world-first demonstration of collective quantum optical behavior in a micron-scale protein aggregate and constitutes the first experimental confirmation of single-photon superradiance in cytoskeletal filaments at room temperature.

Mashup Score: 6UNC Charlotte bioinformatics professor discovers surprising evolutionary pattern in landmark yeast study - 15 day(s) ago
University of North Carolina at Charlotte assistant professor of bioinformatics Abigail Leavitt LaBella has co-led an ambitious research study — published this week in widely influential journal “Science” — that reportsnot only shares intriguing findings made through innovative artificial intelligence analysis about yeasts – small fungi that are key contributors to biotechnology, food production, and human health. These findings simple yeast organisms that challenge widely accepted ideas about yeast evolution, but also provides access to an incredibly rich yeast analysis dataset that could have major implications for future evolutionary biology and bioinformatics research for years to come.

Mashup Score: 4Curiosity promotes biodiversity - 16 day(s) ago
Cichlid fishes exhibit differing degrees of curiosity. The cause for this lies in their genes, as reported by researchers from the University of Basel in the journal Science. This trait influences the cichlids’ ability to adapt to new habitats.

Mashup Score: 10First-of-its-kind study definitively shows that conservation actions are effective at halting and reversing biodiversity loss - 16 day(s) ago
A new study published online today, April 25, in the scientific journal Science provides the strongest evidence to date that not only is nature conservation successful, but that scaling conservation interventions up would be transformational for halting and reversing biodiversity loss—a crisis that can lead to ecosystem collapses and a planet less able to support life—and reducing the effects of climate change.

Mashup Score: 3The power of the arts for social inclusion and diversity: Changing society through creative expression - 16 day(s) ago
Professor Mia Nakamura is an expert in Cultural Policy and Arts Management, with a dedication for exploring how the arts can help people. She has actively participated in art activities with sexual and gender minority communities in Tokyo, focused on recovery after the Great East Japan Earthquake, and organized workshops for people with dementia. Through art activities, she attempts to articulate the transformative power of the arts in healing and promoting social inclusion.

Mashup Score: 4
Geologists uncovered ancient rocks in Greenland that bear the oldest remnants of Earth’s early magnetic field. The results potentially extend the age of the Earth’s magnetic field by hundreds of millions of years, and may shed light on the planet’s early conditions that helped life take hold.
