🧬 Inheritance is more than DNA. A new study shows that changes in gene regulation can persist for at least 15 generations in C. elegans, without changes to the DNA sequence. unige.pulse.ly/fjuhaixdd0 #Epigenetics #Genetics #Research

🪐 Not all planets follow the rules. GJ 3090 b orbits its star in the opposite direction — a "rebellious" exoplanet challenging our understanding of planetary systems. 🔭 Read more: ow.ly/B0Xr50ZSy7E #Exoplanets #Astronomy

🔬 How much protein is too much? A new study found that just a 10–20% increase in tubulin is enough to disrupt tissue architecture. Published in @Nature Communications, this study shows that protein quantity matters just as much as protein function. 🔗 ow.ly/JIEk50ZrP0K

A new study reveals how plants evolved molecular systems to detect UV-B and trigger protective responses—building their own "biological sunscreen". Read more: ow.ly/guEc50Z687j #Science #Plants #UV #UNIGE
