A methanol step lets University of Delaware researchers digest proteins inside intact plant cells
University of Delaware researchers report in Plant Physiology a validated way to digest proteins inside intact plant cells. In tobacco leaves, the data showed distinct protein differences between disease-causing and harmless fungi.

Researchers cite ten-company drug-discovery model to argue biomanufacturers should pool data
Roger Hart and Kelvin Lee cite a model ten drug makers trained on 2.6 billion pooled data points as the case for sharing data across biomanufacturing. Its gains were measured on drug-discovery assays, so the payoff on plant data is untested.

Nova Southeastern researchers who cut light by 60% over Florida Keys brain corals in 2024 saw them bleach less than 20 unshaded controls. The summer killed no coral in either group, so the result supports shading as short-term protection for a few chosen colonies.

A 24% dementia gap, and 1.7% uptake: the shingles number nursing homes will be asked about
A Brown-led study of half a million nursing home admissions puts the shingles vaccine's dementia signal at 24%. It also shows that almost nobody in that population got the shot.
