There are several striking and problematic features of typical climate imagery from the perspective of engaging with wider audiences. Most notably, there is an absence of human stories – those that show ordinary and relatable humans engaging with the issue of climate change.
Synthetic Cells Gain the Upper Hand Against Cancer
Synthetic cells that function as autonomous systems for producing an anti-cancer protein inside the body are developed.
Gene Changes: Chromatin Modifications in Metabolic Disease
Modifications to chromatin are associated with the development of metabolic diseases, including Type 2 diabetes and obesity. There is evidence that these chromatin modifications can lead to long-term disease risk and increased disease risk for offspring.
Macromolecular Bioscience: Happy Birthday Karel!
The current special issue in Macromolecular Bioscience is published on the occasion of Professor Karel Ulbrich’s 70th birthday
Horizontal Transfer of Transposable Elements
In their review in BioEssays, Jean Peccoud and colleagues discuss the challenges and prospects of analyzing horizontal transfer of transposable elements on a large scale.
Cold-Inducible RNA Binding Protein in Cancer and Inflammation
Cold-inducible RNA binding protein (CIRP) in human cancers is reviewed, where it has been implicated in tumor suppression and promotion.

Immunity to CRISPR Cas9 and Cas12a Therapeutics
Genome-editing therapeutics introduce foreign nucleic acids and proteins into the circulation and cells, which can activate the innate, cellular, and humoral immunity in human patients. The key obstacle in translating CRISPR therapeutics to the clinic is hence to identify, diminish, and monitor these immunological risks before adverse immune reactions.
Multiscale Memory and Bioelectric Error Correction in the Cytoplasm-Cytoskeleton-Membrane System
Pattern regulation, as observed in regeneration and development, enables cells to cooperate toward the creation and maintenance of complex anatomies. This image shows planaria, of which every piece has the information needed to restore a complete planarian target morphology.
