Common Mechanism Underlying Synaptic Dysfunction Caused by Preformed Fibril-Induced Accumulation of α-Synuclein or Tau in a Culture Propagation Model
In sporadic neurodegenerative diseases, the endogenous proteins α-synuclein in Parkinson’s disease and tau in Alzheimer’s disease undergo pathogenic prion-like propagation over many years, accumulatin...

A timetree of Fungi dated with fossils and horizontal gene transfers - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Combining fossil-based and molecular calibrations with data on horizontal gene transfer events, the authors develop a time-calibrated phylogeny of Fungi. This timescale, which integrates analytic uncertainties, suggests an older age of crown Fungi (1,401–896 million years ago), as well as a minimum age for ancient interactions involving fungi and the algal ancestors of embryophytes in terrestrial ecosystems (1,253–797 Ma).

Genomic signatures indicate biodiversity loss in an endemic island ant fauna
Insect populations have declined worldwide, but the extent and drivers of these declines are debated. Most studies rely on field surveys performed in the past century, leaving gaps in our understandin...

“It is the result of OIST’s interdisciplinary research environment, where researchers can share insights and tackle open problems from different fields.”
This finding could reshape how we model turbulence in industries from biomedical to chemical engineering.
