New explanation for infertility: eggs lacking a mysterious ‘lattice’ ( www.nature.com )

Cytoplasmic lattices (bundles of fibres floating in the cytoplasm) in mammalian egg cells seem to be storage sites for many proteins that are essential for the development of the early embryo. The discovery indicates that their absence, which can be determined by genetic testing, would point towards infertility of the eggs....

Spider inspires scientists to create water repellant marvel ( interestingengineering.com )

Researchers have demonstrated a general strategy to achieve the long-term stability of plastrons (known to be unstable underwater) on aerophilic surfaces for previously unattainable underwater applications by taking inspiration from diving bell spider, Argyroneta Aquatica, which spends most of its life underwater. This can open...

Downregulation of transposable elements extends lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans ( scitechdaily.com )

This study shows that in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the downregulation of active TE families extends lifespan. These findings link DNA activity to aging and opens up new possibilities in medical and biological research for health improvement and age determination. doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-40957-(open access)
