Watershed ecological security (ES), which is fundamental to regional sustainable development, consists of ecological risk (ER), ecosystem health (EH), and ecosystem services (ESs). It remains unclear how to describe the status of regional ES by integrating the three key characteristics, and little is known about the differences among the factors driving ER, EH, ESs, and ES. Here, we established an integrated assessment system of regional ES based on the cause–effect relationship of ER, EH, an…

Early in solid tumor development, antigens are presented in tumor-draining lymph nodes (tdLNs), a process that is necessary to set up immune surveillance. Recent evidence indicates that tdLNs fuel systemic tumor-specific T cell responses which may halt cancer progression and facilitate future responses to immunotherapy. These protective responses, however, are subject to progressive dysfunction exacerbated by lymph node (LN) metastasis. We discuss emerging preclinical and clinical literature …

Continental United States climate projections based on thermodynamic modification of historical weather
Authors: Andrew D. Jones, Deeksha Rastogi, Pouya Vahmani, Alyssa M. Stansfield, Kevin A. Reed, Travis Thurber et al.
Journal: Scientific Data · DOI: 10.1038/s41597-023-02485-5 · Citations: 54
Matched topics: hydrologic model
Regional climate models can be used to examine how past weather events might unfold under different climate conditions by simulating analogue versions of those events with modified thermodynamic conditions (i.e., warming signals). Here, we apply this approach by dynamically downscaling a 40-year sequence of past weather from 1980-2019 driven by atmospheric re-analysis, and then repeating this 40-year sequence a total of 8 times using a range of time-evolving thermodynamic warming signals that…
