SUJATA DABOLKAR In Goa’s forests during the monsoon, a remarkable wild mushroom makes its appearance — Termitomycesheimii. For generations, it has been a delicacy in local kitchens, a vital part of forest soil health, and a silent partner to termites. My research has revealed another surprising role for this mushroom: it can naturally create gold
There has been extensive media coverage of President Trump’s new Golden Dome hemispheric defense push, a key element of the administration’s revised force posture in the Western Hemisphere. CNN reported Friday that the Pentagon is preparing to deploy thousands of troops across Latin American waters to disrupt narco-terrorist command-and-control networks. Here is the critical blind
Emerging Frontiers in Cancer Therapy: Harnessing Ferroptosis to Eradicate Cancer Stem Cells In the relentless quest to revolutionize cancer treatment, recent scientific endeavors have spotlighted an innovative strategy targeting one of oncology’s most vexing enigmas—cancer stem cells (CSCs). These specialized cells, integral to tumor initiation and relapse, display formidable resistance to conventional therapies, undermining long-term
In a remarkable leap forward for cellular biology and nanotechnology, researchers have unveiled a pioneering technique to visualize single extracellular vesicles (EVs) with unprecedented clarity. These minuscule biological structures, which carry critical molecular messages across cells, have eluded high-resolution analysis due to their nanoscale size and heterogeneity. The new method combines rolling circle amplification with
From lifelong farmers to backyard gardeners, most plant-lovers know that adding organic matter to a field, vegetable plot or flowerpot increases the soil’s moisture. Now, for the first time, Northwestern University scientists have uncovered the molecular mechanisms that enable organic matter to boost soil’s ability to retain water — even in desert-like conditions. Carbohydrates —
