Insights into Evolution of Drought-Tolerance Revealed by Pineapple Genome
Upon sequencing its genome, scientists begin to home in on genes and pathways that enable the pineapple plant to thrive in water-limited environments and open a new window on CAM photosynthesis, circadian rhythms, and the complicated evolutionary history of cultivated grasses like sorghum and rice, which share a distant ancestor with pineapple.

The Structure of the Nasal Cavity Channels Food Smells into the Nose and Avoids the Lungs
Three-dimensional printing technology was used to create a model of the nasal cavity that enabled researchers to demonstrate why the smell of food goes into the nose rather than down into the lungs. More...30 Nov 2015

Actin in the Nucleus Triggers a Process That Directs Stem Cells to Mature into Bone
A team of cell biologists has discovered why treatment of mesenchymal stem cells with the mycotoxin cytochalasin D directs them to mature into bone cells rather than into fat cells, a finding that might prove useful in the development of treatments for bone loss. More...25 Nov 2015
Platelet Membrane-Coated Nanoparticles Kill Circulating Tumor Cells and Prevent Metastasis in Breast Cancer Model
Silica nanoparticles functionalized with activated platelet membranes along with surface conjugation of the tumor-specific apoptosis-inducing ligand cytokine TRAIL were shown to facilitate the destruction of circulating tumor cells and prevent the spread of the disease in a mouse breast cancer metastasis model.
