UC Irvine scientist helps link climate change to Madagascar’s megadrought
University of California, Irvine

Irvine, Calif., April 9, 2024 — A University of California, Irvine-led team reveals a clear link between human-driven climate change and the years-long drought currently gripping southern Madagascar. Their study appears in the Nature journal Climate and Atmospheric Science. “Using remotely sensed observations and climate models, we could see evidence that climate change is affecting the hydrological cycle in southern Madagascar, and it’s likely going to have big implications for the people that live there and how they grow their food,” said Angela Rigden, assistant professor of Earth system science at UC Irvine and study lead author.

Cervical cancer, often caused by persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, remains a public health challenge worldwide despite falling diagnoses related to the success of the HPV vaccine[GR1] in young adult women. More than 11,500 women in the U.S. are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, and over 4,000 women die from it.

In the quest to optimize crop productivity across environments, soybean breeders test new cultivars in multiple locations each year. The best-performing cultivars across these locations are selected for further breeding and eventual commercialization. However, a new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign suggests current soybean testing locations may not be delivering breeders the biggest bang for their buck.

Unlocking the body's hidden weapon against cancer: the role of broken chromosomes
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Scientists have unraveled the mechanisms of the Cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signaling pathway activated by micronuclei, as well as its significant effects on tumor immunity. This study illuminates how chromosomal instability, marked by micronuclei formation, plays a critical role in controlling the capacity of the innate immune system to regulate tumor progression. These findings deepen our understanding of the intricate relationship between cellular anomalies and immune responses and open new avenues for cancer therapy.

Laser wakefield acceleration has garnered widespread attention for its ability to achieve ultrahigh acceleration gradients and generate high-brightness electron bunches. However, one crucial parameter, the three-dimensional (3D) density of the electron bunch, has remained elusive in experimental investigations—until now. Scientists in Japan achieved a breakthrough by developing an innovative electro-optic technique capable of conducting the three-dimensional snapshot of a laser wakefield electron bunch, outside the plasma.

Proteins known as oligomeric chaperones help suppress the formation of misshaped proteins that cause a variety of degenerative and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s. In a new study, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers identified a key feature necessary for one of these oligomeric chaperones, known as DNAJB8, to assemble from disparate parts and showed that the parts alone can reshape misfolded proteins. The findings, published in Structure, could lead to better ways to diagnose and treat these conditions.
