2023 BMC Ecology and Evolution image competition: the winning images - BMC Ecology and Evolution

In 2023, researchers from around the world entered the BMC Ecology and Evolution photography competition. As a result, we received a spectacular collection of photographs that capture the wonder of nature, those looking to understand it and glimpses into long lost worlds. This editorial celebrates the winning images selected by the Editor of BMC Ecology and Evolution and senior members of the journal’s editorial board.

„Und was kann man jetzt damit machen?“

Zum Beispiel eine einzelne biologische Zelle anschauen, wie der Kollege Andrew hier gemacht hat: https://doi.org/10.1107/S1600577520016276

Untersuchung der #Massendichte von #DNA im #Zellkern einer #Fibroblaste zur physikalischen Charakterisierung der Zellkerne und verschiedener Bestandteile. Mit einem Wellenleiter wurde der Röntgenstrahl so präpariert, dass die Holografie das hier gezeigte „Foto” der #Elektronendichte der Zelle (ca. 50 µm breit) genommen werden konnte.

Combined scanning small-angle X-ray scattering and holography probes multiple length scales in cell nuclei

The combination of small-angle X-ray scattering and X-ray holography enables us to visualize and characterize biological material in cell nuclei spanning multiple length scales.

At last! New data show that SARS-CoV-2 (Omicron in particular) preferentially infects blood group A cells. Receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 shows similarity to several galectins and binds better to ACE2 with A blood group antigen. https://tinyurl.com/47w7rumu
