An archipelago constructed of sand and mud is bringing new life to a dead lake but can this bold experiment have a lasting impact?
It emerges that copper ions found in cell organelles called mitochondria regulate the cellular changes that underlie transitions in cell state. A small molecule that inhibits copper-mediated catalysis can suppress the activation of immune cells called macrophages, conferring therapeutic benefits in models of acute inflammation.
