Peach buds may be far less dormant than scientists once believed. 

In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences, a research team systematically interpreted the key scientific issues such as the DO threshold, structural characteristics, distribution patterns, formation and maintenance mechanisms, and driving factors of the OMZ in the context of global change. It may provide important scientific basis for further exploring the coupling relationship between global change and oceanic OMZ, and for understanding marine hypoxia and deoxygenation issues from a global perspective

Environmental enrichment (EE), which involves a combination of voluntary exercise and social interaction has been known to improve poststroke functional recovery. However, its effect on chronic inflammation and white matter pathology remains elusive. Now, a new study reveals that EE improves sensorimotor recovery after stroke while weakening correlation of infarct size with chronic inflammation and myelin damage. It also identifies TREM2-positive microglia in white matter as a potential cellular signal associated with improved functional recovery.
