In mouse brown fat, one mitochondrial carrier responds to the clock, cold and dietary fat

University of Copenhagen researchers report in Science that cold raised the mitochondrial carrier SLC25A34 90-fold in mouse brown fat after 24 hours. Because the body clock and dietary fat also control it, the lead author sees a possible new obesity-drug lever in work done so far in mice.

Ancient sea levels record four fast episodes of true polar wander in the past 190 million years

Mathew Domeier's University of Oslo team finds four fast bursts of true polar wander recorded in ancient sea levels over the past 190 million years. During those bursts, he says, the poles moved faster than most tectonic plates do, fast enough to possibly affect climate.

Cryo-ET catches a rotavirus punching into a cell with a calcium-triggered pore

Stephen Harrison's Harvard lab imaged a rotavirus breaking into a cell and found that VP7, not the protein he expected, forms the pore that releases its genome. The team reported the mechanism Sept. 10 in Science, and Harrison sees it as a lead on delivering large gene therapies into cells.

Two doses of psilocybin protected mouse nerves through six rounds of cisplatin

The protection ran through the same serotonin receptor that carries the hallucinations, though a non-hallucinogenic compound worked too, and a randomised trial in about 80 patients is due to start in November.

Crick structures show how RAD51 paralogs build and cap DNA repair filaments

Crick researchers report that two four-subunit RAD51 paralog complexes assemble and cap DNA repair filaments, after about 20 years of stalled study. The genes sit in the BRCA pathway and the structures may help explain disease mutations, but the work includes no drug or patient data.

Dog brains follow consonants to find words in unbroken speech, as human brains do

ELTE researchers found dog brains tracked consonant-built nonsense words 42% more strongly than vowel-built ones, a bias previously seen only in humans. Every dog lived with Hungarian speakers, so the study cannot yet say whether hearing speech is what put the bias there.

More than 120 ERC grantees blame fragmented funding for Europe's lab-to-market gap

More than 120 scientists, mostly ERC grantees, argue in Science that fragmented funding keeps Europe's strong research from reaching the market. Their main fix is to hand ERC Proof of Concept grants to the European Innovation Council, a proposal that rests on the members' own experience and has not been tested against outcomes.
