The Sudden Surges That Forge Evolutionary Trees

news.ycombinator.com Jake Buehler 2025-10-17 01:45:37

Over the last half-billion years, squid, octopuses and their kin have evolved much like a fireworks display, with long, anticipatory pauses interspersed with intense, explosive changes. The many-armed diversity of cephalopods is the result of the evolutionary rubber hitting the road right after lineages split into new species, and precious little of their evolution has been the slow accumulation of gradual change. They aren’t alone. Sudden accelerations spring from the crooks of branches in evo

Scientists Say They May Have Just Figured Out the Origin of Life

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-19 17:00:28

How did the building blocks of life come together to spawn the first organisms? It's one of the most longstanding questions in biology — and scientists just got a major clue. In a new study published in the journal Nature, a team of biologists say they've demonstrated how RNA molecules and amino acids could combine, by purely random interactions, to form proteins — the tireless molecules that are essential for carrying out nearly all of a cell's functions.

There's been an uptick in high-protein snacks, shakes and protein powders, so it’s no surprise that protein is still a hot topic.

How to Scale Proteomics

A cell is a vibrating bag of molecules, densely packed with DNA, proteins, RNAs, and lipids. The ratios of these molecules are not balanced, though. A typical HeLa cell, widely used as a model to study cancer in the laboratory, has about 20 times more protein than DNA by mass. Such imbalances are pervasive across the tree of life, but proteins are always the heaviest and most diverse group of molecules within a cell. A single human cell encodes more than 20,000 proteins, each built from 20 stan

One bar can have approximately 200 to 300 calories, give or take, and 11 to 17 grams of protein, depending on the flavor. The total sugars are under 20 grams, but don't include added sugars since they vary depending on the protein bar.

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells in human tissues, and observe “animalcules” — bacteria and protists — in the water of a lake. Increasingly powerful light microscopes followed, revealing cell organelles like the nucleus and energy-producing mitochondria.

The paleoanthropologists who studied the Harbin skull in 2021 declared it a new (to us) species, Homo longi. But the Harbin skull still contains enough of its original proteins to tell a different story: A few of them matched specific proteins from Denisovan bones and teeth, as encoded in Denisovan DNA.

“True circularity has to start with raw materials,” says Peña. “We talk about circularity across many industries, but for textiles, we must address what we’re using at the source.” Engineered from recombinant DNA, SELPs are copycat proteins inspired by silk and elastin that can be customized for qualities like tensile strength, dye affinity, and elasticity.
