COVID-19 vaccination protects against post-COVID conditions
Post-COVID Conditions (PCC) are common following SARS-CoV-2 infection, and due to their potential to cause debilitating illness, the burden of PCC threatens to overwhelm health care systems. However, COVID-19 vaccination protects against PCC.
Critical data gap to be filled: a lack of local information on sea level rise and flooding thresholds pose a serious challenge to coastal communities along the ungauged stretches of the US shorelines
This study utilizes machine learning to predict sea level rise rates and high tide flooding thresholds at high-resolution along the US coastlines, aiding decision-makers in planning for future chronic impacts of high tide flooding.
Unlocking the evolutionary mechanism of Intermolecular Diels-Alderases from Mulberry Trees
In organic synthesis, the Diels-Alder reaction is pivotal. Seeking eco-friendly alternatives, researchers explore natural Diels-Alderases, enzymes that catalyze this reaction. Xiaoguang Lei's lab uncovers evolutionary mechanisms in plant-derived Diels-Alderases, especially from mulberry trees.
Walking through fastidious acidophilic nitrous oxide-reducing microorganisms
Löffler Lab at University of Tennessee, Knoxville reports a fastidious, strict anaerobic microorganism thriving to reduce N2O (laughing gas) at acidic pH, which has been a nerdy topic over decades.
