The escalating crisis of climate change, driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases from human activities, demands urgent and innovative solutions to curb rising global temperatures. Plasma-based methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) reforming offers a promising pathway for carbon capture and the sustainable production of hydrogen fuel and syngas components. To advance this technology, particularly in terms of energy efficiency and selectivity, it is essential to enhance the conversion efficiencies of CO2 and CH4.

Here the authors hypothesized that reducing folliculin (FLCN) might affect p62 protein levels in the dorsal hippocampus of mice, given their potential functional connection and p62's role in neurodegenerative diseases. Their study, using western blots and a two-way ANOVA on young wild-type mice, found that p62 levels correlated with FLCN expression, but ultimately concluded there's no evidence of a functional connection between FLCN and p62 in this specific model.

This study explores auxin signaling in Chlorella vulgaris, a green alga with potential for sustainable biofuel and food production. Evidence from protoplast swelling experiments suggests that C. vulgaris secretes auxin and possesses auxin import proteins, highlighting previously uncharacterized signaling pathways. These findings could support more efficient cultivation and resource extraction strategies.
