A pioneering study has unveiled key genetic drivers behind the valuable traits of the yardlong bean, a nutrient-rich crop favored across Southeast Asia. By mapping traits like anthocyanin content and pod characteristics, this research sets a foundation for improving the nutritional and agricultural value of this essential vegetable.
A pivotal study reveals tactics used by the pathogen Botrytis cinerea to undermine strawberry plant immunity. Researchers identified a specific protein, BcXYG1, secreted by the fungus, which interacts with plant proteins FvBPL4 and FvACD11, weakening the plant鈥檚 defenses and promoting infection. This breakthrough could pave the way for strategies to protect strawberry crops from this destructive pathogen.
Cedars-Sinai has appointed prominent inflammatory bowel disease physician-scientist Maria T. Abreu, MD, to be the executive director of the F. Widjaja Inflammatory Bowel Disease Institute. Abreu will succeed longstanding director Stephan Targan, MD, her mentor and a former research colleague from more than two decades ago.
Para los adolescentes que son atendidos por personal m茅dico pedi谩trico por fuera de un centro integral de epilepsia, el cambio de la atenci贸n de la epilepsia en un centro de adultos puede ser abrumador, tanto desde el punto de vista organizacional como personal. Despu茅s de a帽os de ser observadores pasivos, se espera que los adolescentes asuman la responsabilidad de muchos aspectos de su propia atenci贸n m茅dica.
Researchers have pinpointed a critical gene, SmDDA1b, in eggplants that boosts resistance to bacterial wilt, a major threat to solanaceous crops. The study demonstrates that SmDDA1b degrades the SmNAC protein, triggering the plant鈥檚 immune defenses against this pathogen. This breakthrough could facilitate the breeding of more resilient eggplant varieties.
Mountainside Medical Group has announced that Gillian Boyd-Woschinko, M.D. has joined the practice in the field of endocrinology. She will be joining an established team of four endocrinologists.
Health System to serve as a lead core enrollment site for diverse, national health database
Pioneering research has unlocked new understanding of the genetic intricacies within the octoploid strawberry, focusing on the interplay and divergence among its four ancestral subgenomes. This work provides critical insights into the genetic foundations that govern key agronomic traits such as flavor, fruit quality, and disease resistance, essential for shaping the future of strawberry breeding programs.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood physical disability. But while it is typically diagnosed when a child is between 1 and 2 years old, many babies would benefit from much earlier interventions鈥攅specially in the first year, when the brain is best at forming new connections.To foster this earlier treatment, a team at Children鈥檚 Hospital Los Angeles has launched a pilot program to better identify infants at high risk of CP.
A new digital twin platform can help hydropower dam operators by providing accurate and predictive models of physical turbines that improve facilities鈥痑nd enhance reliability.
A new study has made significant strides in plant genome editing by developing an A-to-K base editing system for rice and tomato. This technology enables precise genetic alterations, facilitating the creation of specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that can enhance crop traits and expedite breeding.
The sounds of barking elephant seals are again in the air along the breeding grounds of Pen铆nsula Vald茅s, Argentina鈥攂ut it鈥檚 quieter. Almost exactly a year after a massive outbreak of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza killed more than 17,000 elephant seals, including about 97% of their pups, scientists estimate that only about a third of the elephant seals normally expected here returned.
Two measures of patient well-being, designed for use in busy clinical settings, are described in a Perspective piece in a supplement to Medical Care, the official journal of the Medical Care Section of the American Public Health Association. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
Much of modern life depends on the coding of information onto means of delivering it. Researchers at Aalto University鈥檚 Department of Applied Physics found a new way to create tiny hurricanes of light 鈥� known to scientists as vortices 鈥� that can carry large amounts of information via cable.

With year-on-year record breaking global temperatures, the health risks for vulnerable populations鈥攅specially pregnant women and newborns鈥攁re increasingly concerning.
Scientists from across the globe are calling for experts to show their willingness to tackle emissions challenges in the built environment sector by endorsing a call for more effective collaboration between researchers and policymakers.
The Indian film industry has emerged stronger post COVID-19 with a new focus on modern filmmaking techniques and distribution models, according to experts from the University of South Australia and the University of Adelaide.
