How an ancient autophagy pathway shaped glycogen-based energy strategies in animals
By integrating molecular evolution with autophagy function, our Communications Biology study reveals how protein structural evolution shapes clade-specific diversification in glycogen utilization, offering new mechanistic insight into the evolutionary dynamics of energy metabolism.
A tailored plant diversity strategy benefits humanity
Tailored plant diversity strategies enhance ecosystem resilience and agricultural productivity, addressing food security, climate change, and biodiversity loss. By adapting planting to local conditions, they optimize resource use, reduce pests, and improve soil health.
