Deep Ocean Circulation and Global Warming
Scientists have discovered a secret connection between the orbits of Earth and Mars. Each 2.4 million years, the interaction between the two planets results in key changes to deep ocean currents. This, in turn, is linked to periods of increased solar energy and a warmer climate. For their study, the geoscientists analysed whether ocean-bottom currents become more active or slower-moving in warmer climates.

Ebola Virus VP35 Interacts Non-Covalently With Ubiquitin Chains to Promote Viral Replication
The complex of VP35 and Ubiquitin (PDB ID 3JKE) modeled using a combination of protein docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The K48 and K63 Ub residues are shown in cyan on the bottom left and C-terminal on the right within Ub. One of the strongest interactions contributing to the stability of the complex is ARG225-GLU18.

Transgenic Cow Produces Human Insulin
The animal is transgenic – meaning DNA from another species, in this case human, was introduced into it through genetic engineering. The research was led by Matt Wheeler, professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois in the US, who says it takes advantage of the special factors of the mammary gland.

IceCube Neutrino Observatory Detects Tau Neutrinos
elusive ‘ghost particles’ were detected by the IceCube Neutrino observatory in Antarctica, which is a detector the size of a cubic kilometre made up of ice. Tau neutrinos are tiny subatomic particles that interact very rarely with other matter, allowing them to travel astronomical distances undisturbed. Once detected, the particles can be traced back to their sources, revealing information about the conditions in which they were formed.
