Frog Hidden Object Game Wins Photo Contest Tonality: This Southeast Asian rice field frog (Fejervarya limnocharis) is barely distinguishable from the bark of the tree it sits on. With its gray-brown color, the frog is almost perfectly camouflaged in this environment. This camouflage protects the approximately four-centimeter-long tiny creature from predators while simultaneously stalking its prey undetected and catching them from behind. Southeast Asian rice-field frog (Fejer

Hemoglobin-like protein absorbs carbon monoxide from the blood Promising antidote: Carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal – and so far, it can only be treated in hyperbaric chambers. But a newly developed protein could help treat CO poisoning more easily, quickly, and effectively. The new designer protein is based on a bacterial model, resembles our blood hemoglobin, and, unlike previous approaches, has no side effects. The natural protein RcoM served as a template for the de

Folding helpers organize themselves into specialized units in our cells Piecework: Biologists have discovered that small factories exist in our cells where amino acid chains are folded into functional proteins like an assembly line. According to the researchers, the already known helper proteins, which transform the newly produced proteins into their 3D form, are organized into previously unknown specialized units: droplet-like condensates. If these "factories" are missing, t

How "normal" medications pave the way for pathogens Unexpectedly common side effect: Not only antibiotics, but also a surprisingly large number of other classes of active ingredients weaken our intestinal flora and thus the natural protective function of the intestine. As a result, pathogenic bacteria such as salmonella can more easily colonize there, as researchers report in "Nature." These side effects of common medications have so far been overlooked, but should be taken i
