New metabolic mapping reveals how the human brain is connected

2016-01-11 18:25:50| Extremetech

The quest to understand ourselves by modeling the human brain continues this week with news from Germany, where a team of researchers discovered a way to combine two different brain-imaging modalities in order to confer directionality onto the connectome: the connectivity map of the human brain.

Metabolic pathway in cyanobacteria could yield better biofuels from photosynthesis

2015-12-23 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: Scientists from the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have discovered that a metabolic pathway previously only suggested to be functional in photosynthetic organisms is actually a major pathway and can enable efficient conversion of carbon dioxide to organic compounds. The discovery shines new light on the complex metabolic network for carbon utilization in cyanobacteria, while opening the door to better ways of producing chemicals from carbon dioxide or plant biomass,...
