In 2023, more than half of olive harvests ( Olea europaea ) across Spain, Greece, and Türkiye were lost to drought. The same year late freeze destroyed 90% of the peach crop ( Prunus persica ) on the Georgia Piedmont and the apple crop ( Malus domestica ) in central New York, Vermont, and southern Quebec. Climate extremes now rank with the costliest threats to agriculture, but their role in forest recovery from diebacks that a...

The TNF family member LIGHT (TNFSF14) binds to two receptors, HVEM (TNFSFR14) and LTβR (TNFSFR3). HVEM functions as a costimulatory molecule, whereas LTβR is involved in the development of lymph nodes and ectopic tertiary lymphoid structures at chronic inflammation sites. The classical approach of fusing soluble recombinant proteins to the Fc fragment of IgG resulted in a functionally inactive Ig.mouse (m) LIGHT protein. Howev...

The need to establish a sustained Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) has long been recognized by the international ocean science community. Established in 1991 and led by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (IOC-UNESCO), GOOS develops guidelines and coordinates regional alliances across the world’s ocean basins to evolve the system. The need...
