| Planting parasites: Unveiling common molecular mechanisms of parasitism and grafting Posted: 10 Oct 2020 10:55 AM PDT Using the model Orobanchaceae parasitic plant Phtheirospermum japonicum, scientists have discerned the molecular mechanisms underlying plant parasitism and cross-species grafting, pinpointing one specific enzyme. Targeting this enzyme may help control plant parasitism in crops. |
| Immune cell activation in severe COVID-19 resembles lupus Posted: 09 Oct 2020 01:24 PM PDT In severe cases of COVID-19, activation patterns of B cells resemble those seen in systemic lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune disease. Emory researchers want to see how far that resemblance extends. |
| Scientists find upper limit for the speed of sound Posted: 09 Oct 2020 01:24 PM PDT Scientists have discovered the fastest possible speed of sound. |
| The Colorado river's water supply is predictable owing to long-term ocean memory Posted: 09 Oct 2020 05:49 AM PDT A team of scientists at Utah State University has developed a new tool to forecast drought and water flow in the Colorado River several years in advance. Although the river's headwaters are in landlocked Wyoming and Colorado, water levels are linked to sea surface temperatures in parts of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and the water's long-term ocean memory. |
| Quality control mechanism closes the protein production 'on-ramps' Posted: 08 Oct 2020 11:21 AM PDT Recent work revealed a newfound quality control system in the protein production assembly line with possible implications for understanding neurogenerative disease. |
| New method can pinpoint cracks in metal long before they cause catastrophes Posted: 08 Oct 2020 11:21 AM PDT When metallic components in airplanes, bridges and other structures crack, the results are often catastrophic. But researchers have found a way to reliably predict the vulnerabilities earlier than current tests. Researchers detail a new method for testing metals at a microscopic scale that allows them to rapidly inflict repetitive loads on materials while recording how ensuing damage evolves into cracks. |
