A Breakthrough in #Breeding #Climate-Resilient #Crops. The study reported that the CROCS strategy enhances crop resilience, with tomatoes showing yield increases of 14-47% and up to 100% recovery from heat stress, while rice saw a 7-13% yield boost and 41% heat loss recovery. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

Inceptor is a protein in beta cells that acts as a lysosomal sorting receptor for insulin and proinsulin. Inceptor binds these molecules and directs them to lysosomes for degradation. www.nature.com/articles/s42...
Inceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in β cells - Nature Metabolism
The insulin inhibitory receptor (inceptor) is found to bind to insulin and to regulate insulin stores by directing proinsulin and insulin towards lysosomal degradation.

Without intervention, global plastic waste could double by 2050, a new ML study in Science predicts. However, according to simulations by the study’s authors, a mix of policy interventions could cut plastic waste by more than 90% and it could cut plastics-related emissions by a third. bit.ly/3CnpnrA
Pathways to reduce global plastic waste mismanagement and greenhouse gas emissions by 2050
Plastic production and plastic pollution negatively affect our environment, environmental justice, and climate change. Using detailed global and regional plastics datasets coupled with socio-economic ...

Research has found that coffee consumption benefits gut health. People who consume a lot of coffee have higher levels of L. asaccharolyticus, a butyric acid-producing bacterium, and coffee stimulates its proliferation. doi.org/10.1038/s415...
Coffee consumption is associated with intestinal Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus abundance and prevalence across multiple cohorts - Nature Microbiology
Coffee consumption is associated with the presence and abundance of a specific member of the human gut microbiome, Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, and changes to the plasma metabolome.
