Calcium-activated 14-3-3 proteins as a molecular switch in salt stress tolerance
The ability to cultivate foods with a strong salt tolerance allows for increased grain output in areas of saline-alkali soil. Areas that were previously unable to cultivate grain due to alkaline conditions would become usable land for planting grains with a higher salt tolerance. In this study, technologies such as NMT allowed researchers to monito...

Nature-vs-Nurture-and-the-Tumor-Microenvironment
The question of "nature vs. nurture" is a long-standing debate that spans many scientific disciplines. The idea of our innate "nature" is even more popular with genetic research currently, as scientists eagerly search for the cures to diseases in our genes. However, there is also strong evidence that "nurture' has an important role to play, as our ...
