Adaptation measures, like building dikes at coastal cities, can reduce internal migration due to sea level rise by 30 to 90 percent in 2100. This is concluded in a study by climate scientist Lena Reimann of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. This is concluded in a recently published study - Exploring spatial feedbacks between adaptation policies and internal migration patterns due to sea-level rise - in Nature Communications, led by Lena Reimann, a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
A new look at the brain's immune system Microglia cells, which play a major role in the immune system of the brain, are difficult to study. Researchers have now succeeded in modelling the development of the brain and its immune system using organoids. With these miniature models of groups of brain cells, they have investigated changes associated with a certain type of autism spectrum disorder.
Sustainability research: Wolfram Barfuss appointed new Argelander professor at the University of Bonn How can people work together to forge new, environmentally sustainable paths in a complex system? This is the question being tackled by Jun. Wolfram Barfuss, the new Argelander professor in the Innovation and Technology for Sustainable Futures Transdisciplinary Research Area (TRA Sustainable Futures) at the University of Bonn.
Modest moss supports billions of tons of carbon storage
The global contribution of soil mosses to ecosystem services , DOI 10.1038/s41561'023 -01170-x. Plant life plays a crucial role in fighting climate change by absorbing and transforming greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. For instance, over its lifetime, a tree can absorb more than a ton of carbon from the air and store it in wood and roots.

An organism's body plan arises through a process called gastrulation, during which the embryo forms three distinct layers of cells that will later give rise to all organs. Now, FMI researchers have mapped the development of three-dimensional clusters of cells that mimic aspects of gastrulation, providing important insights into the molecular mechanisms that regulate early embryonic development and cell fate determination.
Engage with children on ethical and social norms for artificial intelligence Relational skills of children are unique sources of inspiration for the development of human-centred Artificial or Artificial Intelligence (AI). But children are still too little involved in the public dialogue on AI systems.
The liver could influence the body's central biological clock, a group of brain cells that influence most aspects of physiology and behaviour. Our liver plays a role in regulating our central biological clock, scientists from CNRS and Université Paris have discovered. The results of their study, published on 17 May in Science Advances, show that the biological clock of mice can be reprogrammed by inserting human liver cells into the animal's liver.
The liver may influence the body's central biological clock, a group of brain cells that influence most physiological and behavioral aspects. Our liver partly controls our central biological clock, according to scientists from CNRS and Université Paris Cité. Their study, to be published on May 17, 2023 in the journal Science Advances, has indeed shown that it was possible to shift the biological clock of mice by introducing human liver cells into their liver.
Ants- brains are amazingly sophisticated organs that enable them to coordinate complex behaviour patterns such as the organisation of colonies. Now, a group of researchers led by Christian Gruber of MedUni Vienna's Institute of Pharmacology have developed a method that allows them to study ants- brain chemistry and gain insights into the insects- neurobiological processes.
Every day, millions of cells die in our body. Other than generally assumed, cells do not simply burst at the end of their lives but rather, a specific protein serves as a breaking point for cell membrane rupture. Researchers at the University of Basel have now been able to elucidate the exact mechanism at the atomic level.
Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new approach for a vaccine against COVID-19. This vaccine is based on a modified coronavirus that can enter body cells and trigger an effective immune response but cannot multiply in the body. In animal studies, the vaccine effectively protected against the disease and even prevented virus transmission.
Neuroscientists Gain New Understanding of Neural Pathway
In a paper published in Neuron , Aryn Gittis and colleagues present new information about a neural pathway in the basal ganglia, a part of the brain important for skill learning, habit formation and motor control. The paper contradicts the model that has guided researchers' understanding of motor learning for 30 years.

Fusion Q&A: The Path Forward
Fusion is one of the biggest challenges of our time. The same process that powers our sun could provide a near limitless supply of safe and carbon-free energy - if researchers can overcome the technological hurdles. The Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ÜBerkeley Lab) has a deep history with both of the main approaches to fusion , where nuclei join together and release energy.

New test determines how best to treat brain tumor
Because of the large number of different cell types in brain tumors, all of which respond differently to treatment, many patients relapse, and the chances of full recovery are very slim. A new diagnostic test, developed by KU Leuven, indicates from a biopsy whether a treatment can attack all the tumor cells present.

Perinatal transmission of HPV: Encouraging new data
Pregnant women who have HPV rarely transmit it to their baby, and when they do, the infection does not persist. While human papilloma virus (HPV) is common in pregnant women, transmission from mother to baby is infrequent and the virus does not persist in infected newborns beyond six months.

Research team at Göttingen University discovers surprising properties of the cytoskeleton Most biological cells have a fixed place in an organism. However, cells can become mobile and move through the body. This happens, for example, during wound healing or when tumour cells divide uncontrollably and migrate through the body.
Chemical engineers at Monash University have developed an industrial process to produce acetic acid that uses the excess carbon dioxide(CO2) in the atmosphere, and has a potential to create negative carbon emissions. This world-first research, published in Nature Communications , shows that acetic acid can be made from captured CO2 using an economical solid catalyst to replace the liquid rhodium or iridium based catalysts currently used.
Importance of neuroscientific evidence for rape trials
The law should take into consideration neuroscientific evidence that suggests fear and threat can cause victims to become 'frozen' in cases of rape or sexual assault, argue UCL experts. In a comment article, published in Nature Human Behaviour, Professor Patrick Haggard and former UCL undergraduate, Ebani Dhawan, state that victims of sexual assault are often blamed for not fighting or fleeing their attackers.
