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 carbon isotopic composition of atmospheric CH 4 (δ13 C CH4) is a powerful tool for tracking the sources and sinks of atmospheric CH 4. Different CH 4 sources have distinctive δ 13 C CH4 values: ...

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 ...

During plant growth, the demand for energy necessitates an increase in the number of chloroplasts. This increase is achieved through chloroplast division, which begins with the formation of the ...

We, a group of forensic scientists who have testified as expert witnesses, are not the first to point out this problem and possible solution. A landmark 2009 report from the National Research Council ...

Mammals are diploid creatures. Every cell in their body contains two sets of chromosomes, one from the mother and one from the father. Mouse embryos with only paternal genomes can not develop to term, ...

Water scarcity affects billions of people and vast areas. However, different dimensions of water scarcity—blue water (surface-/groundwater), green water (soil moisture), water quality—have not been ...

A growing number of protein domains have been shown to undergo fold switching upon interaction with a partner, yet the mechanism remains unknown. One example is the transcriptional regulator RfaH ...

Rapid pathogen detection is crucial for effective disease management, particularly in bloodstream infections. Current molecular diagnostics often require nucleic acid preamplification, adding time and ...

Circulating monocytes are recruited to the tumor microenvironment, where they can differentiate into macrophages that mediate tumor progression. To reach the tumor microenvironment, monocytes must ...

A cure for chronic hepatitis B requires eliminating or permanently silencing covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). A pivotal target of this approach is the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx), ...
