Cyclone Biparjoy and Phosphorus Transitions: Tracing Dust Pathways to Asia’s Largest Grassland
Dust transport plays a crucial role in global nutrient cycles, yet its impact on grasslands remains underexplored. Our study investigates how cyclone Biparjoy influenced deposition in the Banni grassland, revealing how dust from the MENA and the Thar Desert contributes ecosystem nutrient dynamics.
Emergency response for recently isolated Foot and Mouth Disease virus type A Africa in Egypt 2022
Scientific research is more than just data and results, it’s a journey of discovery, challenges, and impact. I would love to share the story behind our latest publication in Scientific Reports
Wireless microwave-to-optical conversion via programmable metasurface without DC supply
By using battery-free programmable metasurface, the free-space microwave-laser conversion is realized for bidirectional air-water cross-media wireless communication.
Genetic ancestry of ancient communities at Europe's crossroads
New research by an international team of geneticists and archaeologists brought new understanding of the genetic ancestry of the communities of the North Pontic region in the time preceding the emergence of the Yamna culture, which upended Old Europe at the turn of the Bronze Age.
FBXW7/GSK3β-mediated proline-rich 11 degradation promotes oxidative DNA damage and inhibits tumor progression in renal cell carcinoma
RCC exhibits defects in homologous recombination and oxidative DNA damage. Our study shows that PRR11, upregulated in RCC, promotes proliferation and migration via AKT signaling. This activation inhibits GSK3β/FBXW7-mediated PRR11 degradation, forming a feedback loop that worsens RCC progression.
