Epigenetic mechanisms of blood cell differentiation
In the bone marrow, blood stem cells via precursor cells give rise to a variety of blood cell types with various functions: white blood cells, red blood cells, or blood platelets. In which cell type a cell develops depends on various factors. The correct dosage of the enzyme MOF at the right time triggers developmental programs in blood stem cells and precursor cells, and the cells differentiate into red blood cells. -

Caves tell us that Australia's mountains are still growing
Research shows Buchan Caves to be about 3.5 million years old and that Victoria's East Gippsland has remained tectonically active for long times, even into the present-day, which is why residents occasionally report earthquakes. Basically, the uplifting Southern Alps in New Zealand have made stress and strain on the Australian tectonic plate, stress that is then expressed as earthquakes and rising landscapes in Victoria. It's rather amazing that the caves recorded this geological signal all the -

Using machine learning to estimate COVID-19's seasonal cycle
(DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) One of the many unanswered scientific questions about COVID-19 is whether it is seasonal like the flu -- waning in warm summer months then resurging in the fall and winter.

Tip of the iceberg: Existing racial inequalities in death from COVID-19 will soar
(Florida Atlantic University) Lifesaving innovations for COVID-19 will only markedly increase the already existing racial inequalities, if public health initiatives for equitable dissemination throughout all communities are not immediately developed.

Moreover, before the introduction of the Salk polio vaccine in 1952, initially, black Americans experienced significantly lower rates -
The moral machine
(Frontiers) Scientists have shown that machines can learn moral reasoning by 'teaching' them with books and news articles. Further, by limiting teaching materials to texts from different eras and societies, subtle differences in moral values are revealed.
