Clemson researcher Chris Saski admits sending the University's iconic Tiger Paw to space aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is, quite literally, "an out-of-this-world experience."  But it's the potential for the experiments in the flight hardware to which the Paw is attached that truly excites him. Saski's cotton regeneration research, adorned with Clemson stickers, intends to take off Dec. 21 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida bound for the International Space Station (ISS). Upon arrival, Saski's research project titled "Unlocking the Cotton Genome to Precision Genetics" will be conducted in microgravity with the goal of facilitating the ability to directly edit the genome of elite cotton varieties, quickly adding traits like disease resistance or drought tolerance without the need for the lengthy conventional breeding process that can take over a decade. "Understanding gene function ...

Introduction Background Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a life-threatening inflammatory lung injury, was first described in 1967 by Ashbaugh, characterized by bilateral pulmonary infiltrates and acuity of onset. ARDS is manifested by increased alveolar-capillary membrane permeability, pulmonary edema, impaired surfactant formation, neutrophil infiltration, impaired gas exchange, and respiratory failure due to severe hypoxemia. The fatality rate is between 26% and 61.5% and varied according to genetics, gender, age, aetiology, as well as presence of concomitant comorbidities. 1 17% of patients required oxygen treatment and intensive care unit (ICU) interventions owing to severe hypoxemia and respiratory failure. 2–4 Around 33% of COVID-19 victims developed ALI/ARDS, and 53% of COVID-19-related ARDS fatalities are caused primarily by respiratory failure. 5 Blood clots, infections, distorted lungs, and scarring are the short-term complications associated with ARDS, wh...

How do scientists detect new variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 First identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has spread globally, resulting in the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. ">COVID-19 ? The answer is a process called DNA sequencing. Researchers sequence DNA DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule composed of two long strands of nucleotides that coil around each other to form a double helix. It is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms that carries genetic instructions for development, functioning, growth, and reproduction. Nearly every cell in a person's body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). ">DNA to determine the order...

T he Social Security Administration has released the schedule of Social Security payments for 2022. These payments are set to be 5.9 percent larger than in 2021 as they take into account the cost-in-living-adjustment, which is the largest cost-in-living adjustment increase in just under 40 years. If your birth date falls between the 1st and the 10th of the month, you can expect to receive your benefits on the second Wednesday of each month. If your birth date falls between the 11th and the 20th of the month, you can expect to receive your benefits on the third Wednesday of each month. If your birth date falls between the 21st and the 31st of the month, you can expect to receive your benefits on the fourth Wednesday of each month. January 2022 payments: Second Wednesday: January 12 Third Wednesday: January 19 Fourth Wednesday: January 26 February 2022 payments: Second Wednesday: February 9 Third Wednesday: February 16 Fourth Wednesday: February 23 March 2022 payments: Second Wednesday...

A UPV/EHU study analyses the resistance of the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacterium to the antibiotics routinely used to treat the infection caused by this bacterium. The study reveals that resistance is very high and suggests that antibiotic misuse is mainly responsible for the increase in resistance in this bacterium. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide, affecting more than 40 % of the population and is one of the causes of digestive symptoms, such as epigastric discomfort, heaviness or bloating of the stomach, or of other more serious diseases, such as the development of gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric lymphoma or gastric cancer. For example, it needs to be investigated in healthy individuals who have had a parent or sibling diagnosed with gastric cancer, and eliminated. Antibiotic resistance is the main cause of treatment failure in infectious diseases and, in particular, infection by Helicobacter pylori (H. pyl...
