Peptide synthesis could stop global potato pathogen once linked to Ireland's Great Famine

Modern medicine has played a significant role in improving the length and quality of our lives. While many treatments may seem like miracles, they are the result of a lengthy, rigorous research process. Drug discovery is a particularly time-consuming and costly activity that is fraught with complex challenges and labor-intensive bouts of trial and error.

A new study published in Earth's Future introduces the eLTER Framework of Standard Observations (eLTER SO)—a structured, harmonized system designed to support consistent long-term environmental observation across Europe. The paper, "Achieving harmonized and integrated long-term environmental observation of essential ecosystem variables - The eLTER Framework of Standard Observations," explains how the eLTER Research Infrastructure (eLTER RI) is improving the comparability and coordination of envi

Scientists at UC Irvine have found a way to potentially reverse age-related vision loss by targeting the ELOVL2 “aging gene” and restoring vital fatty acids in the retina. Their experiments in mice show that supplementing with specific polyunsaturated fatty acids—not just DHA—can restore visual function and even reverse cellular aging signs.

Along the northeast side of the Capital Beltway in Maryland, green spaces weave through the developed landscape.
