Conditions can get rough in the micro- and nanoworld. To ensure that e.g. nutrients can still be optimally transported within cells, the #minuscule #transporters involved need to respond to the fluctuating environment.

Conditions are much rougher in the highly dynamic environment of a living organism

A follower, Sarah M, asked "Do the transporters calibrate how much shit is inside of you? Or does it empty your bowels during transport?" What a great question Sarah! Replicator stock has gotta come from somewhere. Besides, great in an 'emergency'. #StarfleetQnA #Transporters #MovingOn #SPO #LLAP
In #StarTrek, #Transporters are #byval, so fuck that. I would only ever #teleport #byref. Star Trek needs move semantics.
Discovery reveals how a specialized structure in plant cells helps regulate photosynthesis

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential structures responsible for the photosynthesis that sustains life on Earth by producing oxygen and food.

Sorghum's resistance to Striga: Two key genes fight against crop parasites

Chinese scientists have identified two key genes responsible for sorghum's resistance to Striga, a parasitic plant that causes significant crop losses. The breakthrough, which also highlights the potential of AI to predict key amino acid sites in strigolactone (SL) transporters, could have wide-ranging applications in enhancing parasitic plant resistance across various crops.

सरकार और ट्रांसपोर्टरों के बीच कैसे हुई सुलह? आखिर नए कानून में ऐसा क्या है?

Hit and Run Law: देशभर में बड़े वाहनों के ड्राइवर 3 दिनों से हड़ताल पर थे और चक्काजाम कर मोटर व्हीकल एक्ट के अंतर्गत हिट-एंड-रन कानूनों को लागू नहीं करने की मांग कर रहे थे. इसको लेकर कल गृह मंत्रालय म

#Musk (the 'self proclamed' business 'genious'
fucked up AGAIN
and this time... big
BIG BIG fuckup
he pissed off ALL the #Workers' #Unions of Northern #Europe
who have now begun to boycott him en masse
The #engineers and #mechanics of #Tesla in #Sweden, the #distribution centers and the #transporters in #Denmark have resigned or went on stike
and it doesn't end here

"happy time for Tesla investors"
especially if you consider that Tesla is Musk's only company that makes some money.

"In a biological context, sucrose transport could constitute a novel element of plant saccharide-transporting machinery. Phylogenomic analyses of 164 Viridiplantae and 2993 Archaean, bacterial, fungal, and Metazoan aquaporins rationalized solute poly-selectivity in NIP3 sub-clade entries and suggested that they diversified from other sub-clades to acquire a unique specificity of saccharide #transporters"
