Discoveries in Tropical Medicine [PDF]

Nature, 1922
IN NATURE of April 29, p. 549, Sir E. Ray Lankester criticises an obituary notice on Sir Patrick Manson which appeared in the Times of April 10. The statement chiefly objected to is that “modern tropical medicine was born the day that Manson discovered the part played by the mosquito in the transmission of Filaria sanguinis hominis.” But all ...

Natural Variation in ZmASB1 Links Tryptophan Metabolism to Root Growth and Drought Tolerance in Maize

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Natural variation in the maize ZmASB1 promoter regulates tryptophan accumulation, root development, and drought tolerance through a tryptophan–auxin pathway. A 5‐bp InDel alters ZmDOF17 binding and promoter activity, and the favorable allele is enriched during breeding. These findings reveal a cis‐regulatory mechanism linking amino acid metabolism with

A Global Methane Observation System to Reduce Uncertainty for Anthropogenic and Natural Sources and Sinks for Detecting and Attributing Climate Feedbacks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conceptual illustration of a Global Ecosystem Methane Observing System (GEM‐OS) integrating satellites, aircraft, atmospheric networks, and ecosystem measurements to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources. The multi‐scale observing framework improves source attribution, reduces uncertainty in regional methane budgets, and ...

Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...
