What a gem from @dudinlab.bsky.social @gautamdey.bsky.social @centriolelab.bsky.social in Cell! Expansion microscopy atlas of >200 eukaryotes comparing cytoskeletal architectures revealing structures not seen before. Stunning visualisation! Exactly the kind of transformative cell biology we need.

Wildfire smoke is charring your wine. This microbe could help Bacteria already living on grapes can break down smoky chemicals that wreck flavor

In 2020, wildfires in California and Oregon cost the U.S. wine industry an estimated $3.7 billion in losses. And with climate change fueling ever longer, drier fire seasons, winemakers are desperate for new defenses.

Now, a new study offers a surprising new lead. https://scim.ag/42m7vHB

"... it is more important than ever that citizens see through the political smokescreen ..." - H. Holden Thorp, Editor-in-chief, Science journals

“… US President Donald Trump’s misguided announcement that the US will withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate continues a long history of confusion … over the intersection of climate science and US climate policy,” writes @holdenthorp.bsky.social in a #ScienceEditorial. scim.ag/4gZHWRS

The blue-light receptor CRY1 serves as a switch to balance photosynthesis and plant defense Previously, photoreceptors were regarded as a switch for growth control. Hao et al. found that CRY1 acts as dual-control switch to regulate the growth-defense trade-off. LURP1 re-localizes to the plasma membrane upon N-terminal palmitoylation in a calcium- and blue-light-dependent manner after flg22 elicitation to activate immune receptors and promote immunity.
