My first encounter with the chameleon spider (Misumena vatia). They can change colour! But slowely. From white to yellow takes 10-25 days and yellow to white takes 6 days. Hiding in plain sight and patiently waiting for other creatures attracted by the sweet scent of the blooming wild carrot (Daucus carota).

Study elucidates how ionizing radiation damages DNA

High doses of X-rays and other kinds of ionizing radiation can damage the DNA present in the cell nucleus, a phenomenon which can both lead to the development of cancer in humans and be used to kill cancer cells. This damage to DNA occurs through two mechanisms: one involves the direct physical impact of ionizing particles; the other is indirect, involving an attack on nucleic acids by chemical species arising from water radiolysis (the decomposition of hydrogen bonds between H2O molecules).

A winding road: Mapping how singlet oxygen molecules travel along DNA strands

Nucleic acid-targeting photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising type of targeted therapy that is being actively researched. This treatment relies on special photosensitizers, a type of drug that binds at specific locations in a cell's DNA. Once bound, the cells are irradiated at a precise frequency, which in turn causes the photosensitizer to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) or singlet oxygen (1O2) molecules. These molecules tend to oxidize nearby nucleic acids, damaging the genetic material and ultimately killing the irradiated cell.
