NASA's Webb Provides Another Look Into Galactic Collisions
Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)

Arp 107, a pair of interacting galaxies, shines brightly in high-resolution infrared light. A collision, which occurred hundreds of millions ago, created a tenuous bridge of gas and dust that connects the two galaxies, and started a new wave of star formation that NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captures clearly.

The hidden metabolic landscape: unraveling the genetic underpinnings of Artemisia annua
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A recent study study has revealed critical insights into the metabolic landscape of Artemisia annua, a plant essential for artemisinin production, the cornerstone of malaria treatment. Researchers investigated a mutant strain with developmental defects in glandular secretory trichomes (GSTs), which are vital for artemisinin synthesis. The study uncovered severe disruptions in the plant’s metabolic pathways, notably hindering artemisinin and other key secondary metabolites. These findings could pave the way for enhanced strategies to boost artemisinin yield, potentially transforming malaria treatment.
