Seagrass is a crucial marine ecosystem that is being lost to climate change. Researchers in Germany are trying to help the meadows flourish again
THESE researchers from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany, are on a mission to rescue a crucial marine ecosystem that is being lost to climate change:. Seagrass helps the ocean store carbon dioxide and is a key source of food and shelter for marine life, but a third of European seagrass has vanished since the 19th century.
The idea behind SeaStore – the joint seagrass restoration project involving GEOMAR – is to breed a version that is more resistant to rising sea temperatures, in the hope this will help the meadows flourish again. Flowering seagrass is collected from the Baltic Sea off northern Germany and cultivated in the lab until the seeds are ready to be harvested and planted.

Researchers identify novel host-based target against multiple mosquito-transmitted virusesNew Cleveland Clinic research shows how mosquito-transmitted viruses—like Zika, West Nile, Yellow Fever and dengue viruses—hijack host cells to promote their own replication and infection. Published in Cell Host and Microbe, a recent study from the laboratory of Michaela Gack, Ph.D., Scientific Director of Cleveland Clinic's Florida Research & Innovation Center, opens the door to developing new therapeutics for flaviviruses, a class of viruses for which either no or very limited treatments currently exist.
