Plants Find Light Using Gaps Between Their Cells

Posted by in category: neuroscience

Plants don’t have eyes or brains. How do they know where light is coming from? New research shows how seedlings “see” with their whole bodies.


A mutant seedling revealed how plant tissues scatter incoming light, allowing plants to sense its direction and move toward it.

How Obesity Dismantles Our Mitochondria

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

How Obesity Dismantles the Powerhouse of the Cell: A new UC San Diego School of Medicine study in Nature Portfolio (Metabolism) sheds light on how obesity affects our mitochondria, the all-important energy-producing structures of our cells.


UC San Diego researchers found that when mice were fed a high-fat diet, mitochondria within their fat cells broke apart and were less able to burn fat, leading to weight gain. They also found they could reverse the effect by targeting a single gene, suggesting a new treatment strategy for obesity.

TikTok Facing Huge Crisis as It Loses Taylor Swift, BTS, Drake Over Its AI Features

Posted by in categories: media & arts, robotics/AI

TikTok built its empire off popular music — but now it’s losing access to a ton of it.

In a statement, Universal Music Group said it has chosen to “call time out on TikTok” to pressure the social network for better rules on artificial intelligence, online safety, and artist compensation for its roster, which includes such luminaries as Taylor Swift, Drake, and BTS.

“Today, as an indication of how little TikTok compensates artists and songwriters, despite its massive and growing user base, rapidly rising advertising revenue and increasing reliance on music-based content, TikTok accounts for only about 1 percent of our total revenue,” the statement reads.
