Scientists found a fungus in the Amazon called Pestalotiopsis microspora that literally snacks on plastic.

Pestalotiopsis microspora is not your typical fungus. It can survive entirely on polyurethane, one of the most common (and most persistent) types of plastic — and it does so even in oxygen-free environments, like buried landfills.

Beautiful paper. Scientists solved the structure of myosin—the protein that forms contractile filaments in muscle cells—in multiple configurations using Cryo-EM.

They captured the entire power stroke action (where myosin pulls on actin to shorten the muscle) at4.4 Å resolution.

Linoleic acid is the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid in the Western-style diet and has been implicated in promoting inflammation and cancer.

In Science, researchers report a mechanism by which linoleic acid can activate the mTORC1 protein kinase, which coordinates growth and nutrient signals. Learn more: https://t.co/9WzR1gj6Op #SciencePerspective
