Can sustainable forest management save us from climate change?

As climate change accelerates, plants are under increasing pressure to adapt to changing habitats and environmental conditions.

According to new research from the University of Surrey, climate change has an impact on Salmonella spread. This study builds on prior work by the researchers, which discovered that weather change is contributing to the spread of deadly diarrhoeal illnesses.

Researchers at Virginia Tech have discovered how bacteria change molecules in order to infect their host.

A new study allays concerns that rerouting planes to avoid producing climate-warming contrails may accidentally exacerbate climate change.

Everyone experiences occasional episodes of forgetfulness, particularly as they age. It's not only that fresh material is hard for older folks to remember. Moreover, when new information becomes available, they find it more difficult to change those thoughts. Nevertheless, not much is understood about the processes that underlie memory updating and how they malfunction as we age.

Most rare diseases are caused by genetics. A molecular genetic diagnosis can be made more quickly and readily by identifying the underlying genetic change, for instance by exome sequencing (ES). The analysis of every region of our DNA that codes for a protein is known as ES.

Tuning this environment by controlling how the CoPc catalyst was distributed on the carbon nanotube surface allowed carbon dioxide to be as much as eight times more likely to produce methanol, a discovery that could increase the efficiency of other catalytic processes and have a widespread impact on other fields, said Robert Baker, co-author of the study and a professor in chemistry and biochemistry at The Ohio State University.

Important factors that cause follicular lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, to change from its slow-growing form to the aggressive form it takes in some people have been found by a team of researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Reduced snow cover and altering vegetation patterns in the Alps, both caused by climate change, are having significant combined effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in the high mountains, according to a new study.

A recent study suggests that efforts to limit carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from motor vehicles, along with investments in electric vehicles and public transit, would reduce air pollution and have a significant impact on children's health. They'd also save money.
