Learning nature's language: Video analysis of tree sway offers non-invasive method to monitor forest health

Many people look at trees to relax, taking in the soothing fractal patterns to adjust their eyes from too many hours spent at a computer. Dominick "Dom" Ciruzzi, assistant professor of geology at William & Mary, takes tree watching to a whole new level. An ecohydrologist, Ciruzzi is fascinated by how ecosystems and water interact, and he's taken a special interest in arboreal life.

Geological evidence points to ancient ocean in Mars' northern hemisphere

Billions of years ago, water flowed across Mars. Most scientists agree the red planet had rivers. But did those rivers flow into an ocean? New research from the University of Arkansas found strong evidence in Mars' geology of an ocean in the planet's northern hemisphere.

Peptide study paves path toward new weapon against antibiotic-resistant bacteria

Peptide study paves path toward new weapon against antibiotic-resistant bacteria

CORVALLIS, Ore. – New research into antimicrobial peptides, small chains of amino acids able to damage bacterial cells, shows why some peptides are more effective at doing that and also why some cells are more vulnerable.The findings open the door to designing novel compounds for killing disease-causing organisms that have become resistant to antibiotics. These compounds would represent a major breakthrough against a pervasive global problem, said study co-leader Myriam Cotten of Oregon State University.“Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat throughout the world,” said Cotten, associate professor of biochemistry and biophysics in the OSU College of Science. “In 2021, almost 5 million people died of antimicrobial resistance. Almost 40 million are predicted to die of it between 2025 and 2050.”Found in all living things, peptides have a variety of forms and functions, including as hormones, neurotransmitters, and signaling molecules in cells. As antimicrobials, they help make up the first line of defense against bacterial infection, often by causing bacterial cells’ contents to leak out of the membrane, compromising cellular function.The research by Cotten and collaborators at William & Mary and the National Institutes of Health focused on the specific states that give rise to membrane disruption. The study combined lab experiments with computational work conducted by the NIH’s National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute and shed light on the characteristics of the holes, known as pores, that antimicrobial peptides form in membranes. The pores form when the peptides that coat the outside of the cell start flipping across the membrane to balance out their numbers on each side.“This information is very powerful since it provides the basis to explain why some peptides are more active than others and why some membranes are easier to target,” Cotten said. “We learned that the peptides that disrupt membranes more dramatically form pores in the membranes that are larger in size and number and stay open longer. It makes sense but the crucial novelty of our work is that we now have a mathematical equation that relates the effectiveness of membrane damage and pore characteristics. We can start applying it to identify properties required for optimal efficacy.”The scientists also found that certain membranes carry defects that help peptides form that type of pore, insight that opens the door to designing peptides that specifically target bacterial cells based on their distinct membrane composition.The findings are applicable to therapies beyond those for treating infectious diseases, Cotten added, since immune-system peptides are active on cancer cells as well. New cancer treatments are urgently needed, she noted, as more than 2 million new cancer diagnoses and more than 500,000 cancer deaths are predicted for the United States in 2025.The research, supported by the National Institutes of Health and co-led by the NIH’s Richard Pastor, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Natural antimicrobial drugs found in pollen could help protect bee colonies from infection

A honeybee hive, with its large stores of pollen, wax, and honey, is like a fortress guarding treasure: with strong defenses, but a bonanza for enemies that can overcome those. More than 30 parasites of honeybees are known, spanning protists, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and arthropods—and this number keeps growing. As a result, beekeepers are always on the lookout for new ways to protect their precious hives.

Zoom fatigue could be a thing of the past

Online meetings are exhausting—this phenomenon, dubbed "zoom fatigue," was widely reported in the media during the COVID-19 pandemic. "And this was certainly what happened during lockdown," points out Junior Professor Hadar Nesher Shoshan of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU). "But we have found out by means of a recent study that this is no longer the case under the conditions that prevail today. In fact, it seems that video meetings are not more exhausting than face-to-face meetings." The results of the study are published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology.
