There’s something poetic about the alpha helix: its repeating pattern and its balance between stability and motion. In some ways, it reflects what life as an early-career researcher feels like: an underlying sense of order even when the path seems uncertain.| Research Communities by Springer Nature
Past research found that China has different northern and southern cultures that stem from histories of farming rice versus wheat. But fewer and fewer people are farming these days in China. Does that mean these cultural differences are disappearing in modern China?| Research Communities by Springer Nature

Microbes can evolve faster than their hosts. We show that selecting only the microbiome, while keeping host genes fixed, can alter mouse behavior across generations. Microbes and their metabolites thus act as agents of adaptation, transmitting traits independently of host DNA.| Research Communities by Springer Nature

This is the story behind the paper “Western Indian Subantarctic phytoplankton blooms fertilised by iron-enriched Agulhas water" by Bucciarelli E., P. Penven, S. Pous and A. Tagliabue, published today in Nature Geoscience.| Research Communities by Springer Nature
Chromosomal translocations of the KMT2A/MLL gene are frequently diagnosed in acute leukemia patients (ALL and AML) with very poor outcome. Here, we used the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to model this translocation t(4;11)(q21;q23) in hematopoietic stem cells deriving from umbilical cord blood.| Research Communities by Springer Nature
DARPP-32 orchestrates macrophage polarization towards M2 subtype via JAK1/STAT6/SHP-1 axis, fostering an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment supporting tumor growth.| Research Communities by Springer Nature

Friction wastes nearly a quarter of the world’s energy. This review traces how the study of superlubricity, where friction almost disappears, has moved from atomic theory to practical materials that enable cleaner and more efficient technologies.| Research Communities by Springer Nature
Most climate studies talk about global averages, but Africa’s climate reality is deeply regional. The Sahara’s vast deserts, the humid tropics of West Africa, and the temperate zones of the south all respond differently to the same global drivers.| Research Communities by Springer Nature
Ever wondered if buckling could be desirable in engineering? In civil engineering, it’s a dreaded word as it signals structural failure. But we used this instability as an advantage: our MEMS accelerometer harnesses controlled buckling to achieve remarkable sensitivity.| Research Communities by Springer Nature
This study in Chitwan National Park, Nepal reveals local community preferences for human-wildlife coexistence, highlighting the importance of context-specific strategies that align with community needs and values.| Research Communities by Springer Nature
Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer face poor outcomes. After first-line therapy failure, only ~50% receive second-line treatment. Choosing this therapy is challenging due to the lack of reliable predictive markers for its effectiveness| Research Communities by Springer Nature
By combining clinical genomics with RNA biology, we uncovered a new mechanism through which a long non-coding RNA helps myeloma cells evade apoptosis, while training the next generation of scientists to make new discoveries.| Research Communities by Springer Nature
