New studies from the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) shed more light on the economic and environmental costs of mandates in the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS), a federal program to expand the nation s biofuels sector.
Researchers said the studies indicate the need to adopt more targeted policies that value the environmental and ecosystem benefits of perennial bioenergy crops over cheaper options and provide financial incentives for farmers to grow them.

The international research collaboration involving the research team led by evolutionary biologist Professor Axel Meyer at the University of Konstanz and researchers from China and Singapore was able to identify factors that led to the success of the seahorse from a developmental biology perspective: its quickness to adapt by, for example, repeatedly evolving spines in the skin and its fast genetic rates of evolution. The results will be published on 17 February 2021 in
Nature Communications.
Seahorses of the genus Hippocampus emerged about 25 million years ago in the Indo-Pacific region from pipefish, their closest relatives. And while the latter usually swim fairly well, seahorses lack their pelvic and tail fins and evolved a prehensile tail instead that can be used, for example, to hold on to seaweed or corals. Early on, they split into two main groups. One group stayed mainly in the same place, while the other spread all over the world , says Dr Ralf Schneider, who

Research from Analysis Group and IHBDH Furthers Understanding of Hemophilia in China
February 9, 2021 GMT
BOSTON, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Consultants from Analysis Group, a global leader in health economics and outcomes research (HEOR), and the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital (IHBDH), a clinical and research institute of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, published a pair of studies in the journal Haemophilia advancing the understanding of hemophilia in China. The study results provide critical information on patient characteristics, treatment strategies, and other clinical information needed to aid regulatory decision making, enhance the quality of care, and improve patient outcomes.
