A new interactive website allows anyone to explore the projected future of individual glaciers around the world, revealing when they'll disappear under different levels of global warming. The website provides a tangible example of the rapid disappearance of small Alpine glaciers, with some projected to disappear within the next few years.
A new protein language model, CLSS, brings together sequence and structure information to produce cohesive maps of protein relationships. The model successfully integrated sequence and structure data, reproducing expert-curated classifications and demonstrating strong performance in classification tests.
Researchers at Nagoya University have identified giant-nucleus cells as precancerous markers in the kidneys, which emerge in response to iron toxicity and BRCA1 mutations. These cells exhibit cancer-related gene activity and can signal early cancer development in surrounding tissue, with distinct biological profiles in BRCA1-mutant rats.
