Kobe University

Using computational simulation, the Kobe University bioengineer KOH Sangho and his team could show that the fungal wood-separating enzyme binds to a short hemicellulose tail before separating the hemicellulose and lignin portions.

Kobe University researcher Naoyuki Hirata was the first to discover that an asteroid impact on Jupiter's moon Ganymede occurred almost exactly on the meridian farthest from Jupiter. This finding suggested that Ganymede had experienced a reorientation of its rotational axis, enabling Hirata to calculate the type of impact that could have caused this shift.

Nightly automated photography revealed which animals are the main consumers of the fruit: camel crickets (A: Diestrammena japonica, B left: Diestrammena brunneri), ground beetles (B right: Synuchus sp.), earwigs (C, D top: Eparchus yezoensis) and woodlice (D bottom, E: Porcellio scaber).

a. Brain structure comparisons of the following mice: Left: BTBR/R and B6 (normal mouse), Center: Comparison of BTBR/J and B6, Right: BTBR/J and BTBR/R. b. Diffusion tensor imaging to compare differences in nerve fibers. Red indicates the brain regions that were either bigger or had increased numbers of nerve fibers in BTBR/J mice in comparison to either B6 (left and center images) or BTBR/R (right image). Conversely, blue indicates brain regions in BTBR/J mice that were comparatively smaller or had decreased numbers of nerve fibers. These scans revealed particularly significant differences between BTBR/J and BTBR/R mice’s corpus callosum.

Each round mass looks like a single fruit, However, each cluster is composed of several thousand fruits, each measuring approximately 0.3 mm in size. Upon closer examination, the clusters can be seen to be composed of numerous red bumps These bumps are not the fruits, but modified leaves that that hide the actual fruits underneath.

Fig. 1 Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of AGM. a: Experimental schematic. Cells are isolated from the fetal yolk sac and AGM and their transcripts are sequenced by next-generation sequencing. b: Cell groups from single-cell analysis of AGM progenitor cells are shown. c: Heatmap of top 10 enriched genes in the three cell groups (6, 12, 17) in b. d: Gene enrichment analysis based on protein-protein inter-network of RUNX1, a transcription factor essential for the endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT), in which vascular endothelial cells give rise to hematopoietic stem cells.
