Potential therapies could include precise genetic targeting of the GLUT4 pathway or dietary modifications to fine-tune glucose levels, ensuring an optimal environment for neurogenesis.

Stanford research uncovers glucose’s role in boosting neurogenesis, offering insights into brain aging interventions.

HEPS will transform scientific research by enabling high-energy X-ray probing at the nanoscale.

China is poised to unveil its cutting-edge High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) by year’s end, boasting some of the world’s most powerful synchrotron X-rays.

With a staggering investment of 4.8 billion yuan (approximately US$665 million), this facility marks a significant milestone for Asia, propelling China into the elite league of nations with fourth-generation synchrotron light sources.

The high complexity and diversity of the eukaryotic transcriptome poses significant challenges for the efficient detection of specific transcripts. Conventional targeted RNA-seq methods often require labor-intensive pre-sequencing enrichment steps, which can compromise comprehensive transcriptome profiling and limit their broader applications.

A new type of wood is challenging our understanding of trees. The tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) may significantly contribute to carbon management thanks to its wood, which is neither hard nor soft.

The discovery, named “midwood,” offers a way to improve CO₂ capture from the atmosphere. How could this wood change the game?
