Mapping Oregon coast harbor seal movements using wearable devices
Wearable devices fitted to harbor seals reveal their movements around the Oregon coast, for a population that has been increasing following the implementation of marine reserves and protection acts. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Previously unknown mechanism causes increased forest water use
Researchers have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that causes increased forest water use, advances understanding of soil biogeochemical control of forest water cycles and highlights threats to plants from water stress under acid deposition, according to a new study.

Lysine harvesting is an antioxidant strategy and triggers underground polyamine metabolism
Nature, Published online: 31 July 2019; doi:10.1038/s41586-019-1442-6 The harvest of large quantities of lysine by yeast and other microbes triggers a reprogramming of redox metabolism, in which NADPH is channelled into glutathione metabolism to reduce levels of reactive oxygen species and increase tolerance to oxidative stress.

Uncovering secrets of bone marrow cells and how they differentiate
Researchers mapped distinct bone marrow niche populations and their differentiation paths for the bone marrow factory that starts from mesenchymal stromal cells and ends with three types of cells — fat cells, bone-making cells and cartilage-making cells. Respectively, those cells are called adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes. This non-hematopoietic cell system is distinct from another production…
Clearing up the ‘dark side’ of artificial leaves
While artificial leaves hold promise as a way to take carbon dioxide — a potent greenhouse gas — out of the atmosphere, there is a ‘dark side to artificial leaves that has gone overlooked for more than a decade,’ according to a chemical engineer.

Targeting a blood stem cell subset shows lasting, therapeutically relevant gene editing
Researchers have used CRISPR-Cas9 to edit long-lived blood stem cells to reverse the clinical symptoms observed with several blood disorders, including sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
Another trick up the immune system’s sleeve: Regrowing blood vessels
Peripheral artery disease, which affects 8.5 million people in the US, can cut off blood flow to the arms and legs, sometimes forcing doctors to amputate limbs. A new approach uses a biomaterial scaffold to recruit the body’s own immune T cells to help regrow blood vessels in mice with hindlimb ischemia, supporting immune engineering as…
Aspirin improves liver function after embolization of hepatocellular carcinoma
Aspirin therapy is associated with both improved liver function test results and survival after transarterial embolization for hepatocellular carcinoma, according to a new article. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
