As most of us learned in school, plants use sunlight to synthesize carbon dioxide (CO
2) and water into carbohydrates in a process called photosynthesis. But nature s factories don t just provide us with food they also generate insights into how ecosystems will react to a changing climate and carbon-filled atmosphere.
Because of their ability to make valuable products from organic compounds like CO

Gene biomarkers indicate liver toxicity quickly, accurately ANI | Updated: Dec 19, 2020 23:53 IST
Washington [US], December 19 (ANI): A research team at the University of Illinois has developed a gene biomarker identification technique that cuts the testing process down to a few days while maintaining a high level of accuracy. The aim of this research was to identify the smallest set of indicators from the liver to predict toxicity and potential liver cancer, said Zeynep Madak-Erdogan, associate professor in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at U of I and a lead author on the study. The agrochemical industry has a pipeline where they test new compounds in terms of toxicity-related endpoints. Liver toxicity is one of the most important endpoints, because the liver is the organ that receives the blood supply and cleans it, making it one of the biggest targets in terms of environmental toxic action, Madak-Erdogan said
