Plants in the bean family (legumes) form nodules on their roots to take up nitrogen. Legumes will stop nodule production when nitrogen is plentiful, but precisely how nitrate presence controls nodule formation in these plants has been a mystery.
ALSF announces grant award recipients of Crazy 8 Initiative in pediatric oncology
Alex s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a nonprofit foundation devoted to finding cures for all children with cancer, announces grant award recipients of their Crazy 8 Initiative. The recipients will receive grants totaling more than $18.5 million, which is the single, largest funding commitment from ALSF to date.
The Initiative kicked off in the Fall of 2018 with a meeting that brought together more than 90 scientists from around the world to help define the research landscape in eight key areas of need in order to tackle major obstacles impeding progress toward cures for childhood cancer. Through a rigorous review process, ALSF received over 100 letters of intent from researchers that resulted in 83 full grant applications which were ultimately narrowed down to four projects that will work to accelerate the pace of new cure discovery.
Apoptosis is an important mediator of pathogenesis in animal coronavirus infection
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death, which occurs in cells that are irreparably damaged or in cells infected by some viruses. This mechanism is extremely important in limiting a virus’s replication and its spread to other neighboring cells.
A new paper in the journal
Lifepresents an early review of the viral factors involved in initiating and effecting apoptosis within infected cells.
