Obese flies: Why are adipokinetic hormone-deficient flies fat?
The adipokinetic hormone (AKH), an insect analog of the human hormone glucagon, is a central regulator of energy homeostasis and lipid mobilization in insects. Silencing of the AKH-receptor leads to fly obesity.
Active DNA demethylation: A two-step process
Matthias Bochtler et al. discuss the current state of knowledge surrounding active DNA demethylation pathways.
How fat cells become fat: Insights from phosphoproteomics
Fat is stored in adipocytes in the adipose tissue. In addition, the tissue contains other cell types including fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, immune cells and preadipocytes.
Flame-resistant textiles
A novel coating provides fabric with an unusual combination of flaming/smoldering ignition resistance and barrier properties, without affecting color or general appearance of the fabric’s face.
Genes evolving in parallel to produce the same traits – less of a mystery
In their review in BioEssays, Bailey et al. present a model of a process that occurs more often than we’d suspect: identical genetic changes in evolutionarily unrelated populations.
CellShape: imaging bacterial factories from the inside
Researchers have developed CellShape, a user-friendly image analysis tool for quantitative visualization of bacterial cell factories
A Fog-Free Future – Nanoscale Antifogging Surfaces
In their recent work, G. G. Qiao and coworkers generate nanoscale antifogging surfaces.
Drawing with DNA Materials
A research team from KAIST, Korea has successfully fabricated nanometer scaled DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) structures.
Nanotechnology Solution to Wood Flammability
Researchers from China and Singapore present a new high performance, fire-resistant coating composed of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets.
