A simple fluorescent tag helps CRISPR repair DNA more efficiently in human stem cells, organoids and embryo models.

Soil biodiversity is essential for farming and climate stability, but new research shows it may also play a critical role in human health. Intensive agriculture and climate change are rapidly degrading this biodiversity, potentially increasing disease risk.

Mangrove soil-derived microbial communities harbor enzymes capable of degrading polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Scientists discovered that extreme heat can disrupt tiny structures called cilia that help corals transport oxygen and remove waste. When these structures fail, corals can suffer oxygen shortages, increasing the risk of tissue damage and death during marine heatwaves.

An enzyme recruited to stress granules that form during heat stress in Arabidopsis plants helps boost tolerance to both sudden and gradual temperature rises.
