Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
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.
Building energy savings by green roofs and cool roofs in current and future climates
The implementation of green and cool roofs at the city level can lead to substantial annual energy reductions, with up to 65.51% and 71.72% reduction in HVAC consumption, respectively, by 2100.
Balancing Growth and Green: How Industrial Land Expansion Influences Economic and Environmental Outcomes
We found that industrial land expansion was the primary driver of economic growth and emissions in developing regions. In contrast, developed regions exhibited a reduced impact, with a shift towards other drivers of economic growth, such as education.
Particle contaminants as potential disruptors of biomolecular condensates
Polystyrene nanoplastics trigger amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated TAR DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43) to undergo aberrant phase separation and exacerbate pathogenic tendency via persistent intracellular stimulation and direct interaction.
Heterochrony of plant meristem: unusual organogenesis of Monophyllaea
We discovered a unique plant meristem that seems to be evolved by neoteny of the shoot apical meristem from studies of one-leaf plant, Monophyllaea.
