The multiple challenges of managing large-scale PV wastes demand a proactive approach; the costs of being underprepared or unprepared far outweigh those of early preparation. We must anticipate the ...

The steroidogenic enzyme 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (3βHSD1) correlates with tumor aggressiveness, and its inhibitors, biochanin-A (BCA) and the related analogs, have shown antitumor ...

The fishery for Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba, hereafter referred to as “krill”) is one of the world’s largest fisheries for crustaceans (1), and by far, the largest fishery in the Southern Ocean ...

Meiotic recombination is an evolutionary-conserved process that shapes genetic variation in most eukaryotes. DNA is packaged into nucleosomes, and high levels of nucleosome occupancy suppress ...

Final body size at developmental maturity often correlates with maximum lifespan (10 – 13). For instance, smaller individuals within a species often live longer than larger ones (11). In contrast, the ...

We developed a strategy to identify gut bacteria functionally linked to the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). To minimize confounders, we analyzed microbiota composition in a large cohort of ...

Rapid social–ecological intensification is a recurrent feature of human history. It occurred in different forms and contexts; its outcomes may have been sustainable or transient. Until recently, such ...

Climate change is affecting all aspects of the Earth system, impacting ecosystems’ health, placing new strains on infrastructures, and affecting human migration (1, 2). Earth system models are the ...

The domestication of pigs (Sus scrofa) has had profound socioeconomic and ecological consequences. Although pigs are believed to have been independently domesticated in South China, the timing and ...

Excessive dust loading threats public health and food security and affects regional and global climate. This study reveals a robust and significant decrease in dust loading across West and South Asia ...

Mechanical snapping instabilities are leveraged by natural systems, metamaterials, and devices for rapid sensing, actuation, and shape changes, as well as to absorb impact. In all current forms of ...

The visual system can process diverse stimuli and make the decision to execute appropriate behaviors, but it remains unclear where and how this transformation takes place. Innate visually evoked ...
