Unveiling Tasmania’s Fiery Past: The First Signs of Early Humans Shaping the Landscape with Fire

Some of the first human beings to arrive in Tasmania, over 41,000 years ago, used fire to shape and manage the landscape, about 2,000 years earlier than previously thought.

Impaired Protein Blueprint Editing Sparks Cellular Demise

An international research team has uncovered a new mechanism crucial to the production of cellular proteins. When this mechanism is disrupted, the blueprints used by the cell to produce proteins are inaccurately edited through a process called splicing. The study sheds light on how specific mutations may lead to the retinal disease retinitis pigmentosa. Importantly

The Vulnerability of Superbugs: Uncovering Their Achilles’ Heel

To stem the surging antibiotic resistance public health crisis, scientists seek solutions inside the mechanics of bacterial infection. A new study has found a vulnerability related to magnesium availability. This limitation potentially could be exploited to stop the spread of antibiotic resistance. Recent estimates indicate that deadly antibiotic-resistant infections will rapidly escalate over the next
