| Saving the Mekong delta from 'drowning' Posted: 06 May 2022 11:11 AM PDT Southeast Asia's most productive agricultural region and home to 17 million people could be mostly underwater within a lifetime. Saving the Mekong River Delta requires urgent, concerted action among countries in the region to lessen the impact of upstream dams and better manage water and sediments within the delta, according to an international team of researchers who outline solutions to the region's dramatic loss of sediment essential to nourishing delta land. |
| 'Stressed' cells offer clues to eliminating build-up of toxic proteins in dementia Posted: 06 May 2022 07:26 AM PDT It's often said that a little stress can be good for you. Now scientists have shown that the same may be true for cells, uncovering a newly-discovered mechanism that might help prevent the build-up of tangles of proteins commonly seen in dementia. Scientists have identified a new mechanism that appears to reverse the build-up of aggregates, not by eliminating them completely, but rather by 'refolding' them. |
| Neuroscientists find multiple brain regions control speech, challenging common assumption Posted: 04 May 2022 02:08 PM PDT Neurobiologists give new meaning to the term 'motor mouth'. By carefully mapping neural networks in marmoset and macaque monkeys, they determined that multiple areas in the brain's frontal lobe control the muscles of vocalization and could provide a foundation for complex speech. |
