Rare melt key to ‘Ring of Fire’

sciencedaily.com

Scientists have discovered the explanation for why the world's explosive volcanoes are confined to bands only a few tens of kilometers wide, such as those along the Pacific 'Ring of Fire'. Most of the molten rock that comes out of these volcanoes is rich in water, but the team has shown that the volcanoes are aligned above narrow regions in the mantle where water-free melting can take place.

A new pipewort species from a unique, but fragile habitat in India

eurekalert.org — “The Laterite plateau of India is a fragile habitat, notable for its unique biodiversity of ephemeral plants. It blooms during the monsoon rains, but turns into a desert of hot rocks in the summer. A team of botanists found another new, rare pipewort plant species from the seasonal pools of this highly threatened habitat. The study was published in the open-access journal PhytoKeys.View full resource at eurekalert.org

Gene Linked to Alzheimers Disease Plays Key Role in Cell Survival | Highlight HEALTH

highlighthealth.com — “Scientists have discovered that a gene linked to Alzheimer's disease may play a beneficial role in cell survival by enabling neurons to clear away toxic proteins. A study funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, shows the presenilin 1 (PS1) gene is essential to the function of lysosomes, the cell component that digests and recycles unwanted proteins. However, mutations in the PS1 gene -- a known risk factor for a rare, early onset form of AlzheiView full resource at highlighthealth.com
