World Pneumonia Day, Nov. 12: 2.2 Million Lives Lost to Pneumonia in 2021
American Thoracic Society (ATS)

Urgent action is needed, to prevent pneumonia deaths among high-risk groups, particularly children younger than five years and older people, noted the American Thoracic Society and its Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS) partners. New effective preventive interventions are available, but these are still inaccessible in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Sweet Switch: Sorbitol's Key Role in Apple Plant Growth Strategy
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A recent study reveals the critical role of sorbitol in driving age-dependent growth shifts in apple plants. Researchers have uncovered how sorbitol interacts with gibberellin signaling to transition growth from a rapid juvenile phase to a slower adult pattern. This discovery provides essential insights into the mechanisms controlling plant maturation and development.

Vitamin D Supplements May Lower Blood Pressure in Older People with Obesity
Endocrine Society

Vitamin D supplements may lower blood pressure in older people with obesity and taking more than the Institutes of Medicine’s (IOM) recommended daily dose does not provide additional health benefits, according to new research published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.

Astronomers’ Theory of How Galaxies Formed May Be Upended
Case Western Reserve University

The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming the popular hypothesis that invisible dark matter helped the earliest stars and galaxies clump together.

Sleep is No Light Matter for Bees
University of California San Diego

Disrupted sleep cycles are a well known concern for human health and function, and now researchers have found similar impacts on insects. A new study has found that artificial light disrupts the circadian rhythms of honey bees and poses a threat to their essential role as pollinators.

Newswise: Conifers Are Foundational to Ecosystems Globally, Providing Critical Environmental and Economic Value. Yet, Their Long Life Cycles Slow Traditional Breeding Methods, Positioning Somatic Embryogenesis (Se) as a More Effective Option for Rapid Propagat

Conifers Are Foundational to Ecosystems Globally, Providing Critical Environmental and Economic Value. Yet, Their Long Life Cycles Slow Traditional Breeding Methods, Positioning Somatic Embryogenesis (Se) as a More Effective Option for Rapid Propagat
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A newstudy has introduced a novel method for enhancing somatic embryogenesis (SE) in conifer trees, using small molecules to overcome traditional barriers in asexual propagation. This technique is pivotal for advancing forest production and genetic enhancement by addressing challenges in SE initiation and sustaining embryogenic potential.
