13-Nov-2024 Indonesian Thalassemia Survivor: "I've broken the inheritance chain of thalassemia" BGI Genomics Stanley Joewono is an Indonesia social media influencer and exercise enthusiast. Diagnosed with thalassemia at just 8 months old, Stanley has relied on regular blood transfusions to survive for 35 years now. Stanley urges individuals in Indonesia to take control of their future through genetic screening.
13-Nov-2024 Immune function, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease NIH/National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Like a fire alarm sending signals to evacuate a smoky building, the immune system has internal guards to help the body sense and respond to danger. However, for people with risks for heart disease, these warning signals can have a negative consequence: they can increase the size of plaque in arteries, making them narrow, and trigger inflammatory events that can cause plaque to rupture. This can set the stage for a heart attack or stroke.

13-Nov-2024 Ancient seeds give clues on climate change Linköping University Thousand-year-old seeds, and traces hidden in the soil for more than 5,000 years, have a lot to tell us. They provide clues to how people and the crops they grew for food were affected by climate change. Geologist Joyanto Routh and biologist Jenny Hagenblad at Linköping University claim that this knowledge may help us adapt to changes in our lifetime and in the future.
13-Nov-2024 Research helping land managers weather drought on mixed-grass prairies USDA Forest Service - Rocky Mountain Research Station Jacqueline Ott, research ecologist with the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, is partnering with scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey and Colorado State University to study how plants on the Buffalo Gap National Grassland respond to different drought scenarios. Scientists are creating tailored tools to help range and livestock managers adapt to droughts with grazing practices that will maintain productivity and the unique biodiversity of mixed-grass prairies well into the future.
