When you walk through a forest, you are surrounded by carbon. Every branch and every leaf, every inch of trunk and every tendril of unseen root contains carbon pulled from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. And as long as it stays stored away inside that forest, it’s not contributing to the rising concentrations of carbon dioxide that cause climate change. So it’s only natural that we might want to use forests’ carbon-storage superpower as a potential climate solution in addition to reducing human greenhouse gas emissions. But climate change itself might compromise how permanently forests are able to store carbon and…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain New research being presented at this year’s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Copenhagen, Denmark, (April 15-18) has identified several gold-based compounds with the potential to treat multidrug-resistant “superbugs.” With all 19 compounds tested effective against at least one hard-to-treat bacterium and some effective against several, the Spanish researchers say that the gold-based drugs hold great potential as new antibiotics. Drug-resistant infections kill an estimated 700,000 people a year globally and, with the figure projected to rise to 10 million by 2050 if no action is taken, the World Health Organization (WHO)…

Our brains are made of billions of neurons, which are connected forming complex networks. They communicate between themselves by sending electrical signals, known as action potentials, and chemical signals, known as neurotransmitters, in a process called synaptic transmission. Chemical neurotransmitters are released from one neuron, diffuse to the others and arrive at the targeted cells, generating a signal which excites, inhibits or modulates the cellular activity. The timing and strength of these signals are crucial for the brain to process and interpret sensory information, make decisions, and generate behavior. Controlling the connections between the neurons would allow us to understand…
If you know me, you understand how deep my affinity for comfy clothes that masquerade as dressy clothes runs.

This revelation offers insight into why we age and what critical cellular machinery we must keep running to combat age-related diseases, according to Maria Carolina Florian, a stem cell biologist at the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies who was not involved in the work. To Florian, it suggests the possibility of creating drugs that can maintain this control for stem cells. It looks particularly important, she says, “because of this possibility to be targeted—to be able to reverse aging.”Signer’s lab studied blood stem cells taken from mouse bone marrow. Doctoral researcher Bernadette Chua first extracted marrow from young…

People with Alzheimer’s disease develop defects in cognitive functions like memory as well as problems with noncognitive functions that can lead to anxiety and depression. In a paper published April 6 in the journal Cell Stem Cell, investigators used mice to study a process through which new neurons are generated in adulthood, called adult hippocampus neurogenesis (AHN). The research showed that deep brain stimulation of new neurons helped restore both cognitive and noncognitive functions in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease. “We were surprised to find that activating only a small population of adult-born new neurons was enough to make a…
And just like that, we’re out of hibernation and ready to step into a sunnier new season, so it’s time to start thinking about the much-discussed topic of what to wear in spring.

Human embryo development and early organ formation remain largely unexplored due to ethical issues surrounding the use of embryos for research as well as limited availability of materials to study. In a paper published April 6 in the journal Cell Stem Cell, a team of investigators from China report for the first time the creation of embryo-like structures from monkey embryonic stem cells. The investigators also transferred these embryo-like structures into the uteruses of female monkeys and determined that the structures were able to implant and elicit a hormonal response similar to pregnancy. “The molecular mechanisms of human embryogenesis and…

I’m one of the few people who didn’t commit to the tailored trouser trend this past winter (which isn’t something I’m proud to admit, by the way). As someone who works from home, I haven’t had much reason to wear formal pants around my apartment. But now that the weather is warming up, I have my eye on the summer version: tailored shorts. They’re the perfect balance of functional and stylish, something I can wear a bit more casually than trousers without feeling overdressed. So when I came across the Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Taylor Linen-Blend Trouser Shorts ($37) while…
