Here the authors investigated the potential of plant-derived smoke water to mitigate the negative impacts of abiotic stressors, such as heat, salinity, and water fluctuations, on the germination and growth of various agricultural crops. Their findings suggest that smoke water, specifically from buckwheat, pea, and radish, significantly improves plant resilience against drought and excessive water stress, offering a viable strategy to bolster food security in the face of climate change.

The authors used developed a machine learning tool for studying social media discourse surrounding use of tobacco and cannabis.
Read More...Evaluating the relationship between United States housing prices and United States markets
The authors assessed the correlation between the stock, commodity, and consumer markets with the housing market.
Read More...The effect of natural phenolic compounds on reducing oxidative stress
The authors looked at the potential of different phenolic compounds to reduce oxidative stress (i.e., act as antioxidants).
Read More...Investigation of the impact of acid reflux on dental cements
The authors test the effects of pH level on different kinds of dental cement to model the long-term effects of reflux-induced stomach acid exposure.
Read More...De novo design of a dual-target inhibitor against tau phosphorylation and acetylation for Alzheimer's therapy
The authors use computational methods to compare tau acetylation to the better studied tau phosphorylation in Alzheimer's disease and then design and computationally test a new drug to prevent abnormal post-translational modifications of tau.

The authors used RNA-seq datasets to assess the effect of CDK7 inhibition on transcriptional pathways in castration-resistant prostate cancer cells.
Read More...Antioxidative properties of Taiwanese high mountain tea infusions
The authors test the antioxidant content of Taiwanese high mountain teas grown in or processed under differing conditions.
Read More...Silver armor against bacteria: A battle of antimicrobial effectiveness
Pathogenic bacteria cause major economic losses in agriculture, and widespread antibiotic use has led to increasing resistance. This study tested whether a low-cost DIY method could produce antibacterial colloidal silver effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive plant pathogens.
