The Sugar that Sparked Life: Unraveling the Mystery of Ribose’s Preeminence in RNA Development
What made ribose the sugar of choice for life’s code? Scientists at Scripps Research may have cracked a major part of this mystery. Their experiments show that ribose binds more readily and selectively to phosphate compared to other similar sugars, forming a structure ideal for RNA formation. This discovery hints at how nature might have selected specific molecules long before enzymes or life existed, and could reshape our understanding of life’s chemical origins.

A 600-Million-Year-Old Body Blueprint Uncovered in Sea Anemones
Sea anemones may hold the key to the ancient origins of body symmetry. A study from the University of Vienna shows they use a molecular mechanism known as BMP shuttling, once thought unique to bilaterally symmetrical animals like humans, insects, and worms. This surprising discovery implies that the blueprint for forming a back-to-belly body axis could date back over 600 million years, to a common ancestor of cnidarians and bilaterians.
