Mitochondria Divide Roles for Energy and Molecular Synthesis Under Low-Nutrient Conditions, Reveals New Study
New findings reveal that mitochondria in nutrient-deprived cells adopt specialised roles to prioritise either energy generation or amino acid synthesis. Led by Dr. Craig Thompson of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the study identified specific mitochondrial subpopulations, allowing cells to maintain critical functions even under stress. The...

New Tardigrade Species Hypsibius henanensis Reveals Unique Radiation Survival Mechanisms
Chinese biologists have discovered how a newly found tardigrade species, Hypsibius henanensis, can endure extreme radiation levels. Researchers identified three unique mechanisms that support this resilience: a TRID1 protein enabling DNA repair, mitochondrial proteins that enhance cellular defense, and high antioxidant production. This discovery en...

Panda-Coloured Amphipod Confirmed as New Species, Discovered Along Japan’s Coastline
A newly discovered amphipod species, Melita panda, has been confirmed as a unique species in Japan’s coastal waters. This crustacean, named for its black-and-white coloring resembling that of a panda, was originally found in the 1990s but has only now been recognized as a distinct species. Researchers at Hiroshima University conducted thorough ge...
