I describe two amplifications mechanisms that operate during liquidity crises and discuss the scope for central bank policies during crises as well as preventive policies in advance of crises. The ...

As more and more bacteria develop resistance to the drugs designed to kill them, a new study has found that even a relatively new antibiotic isn’t immune. Researchers have uncovered a gene ...

A new analysis shows that infectious bacteria exposed to the antibiotic albicidin rapidly develop up to a 1,000-fold increase in resistance via a gene amplification mechanism. A new analysis shows ...

Some lung cancers manage to overcome a targeted drug therapy despite it showing initial success. Yale researchers have now discovered a molecular-level resistance mechanism that begins to take hold as ...

When cancer cells begin to die within tumors, they expose signals on their surface that indicate they are dying. Macrophages then detect these signals and engage in phagocytosis, where they eat the ...

In breast cancer, the focal amplification of oncogenes plays a critical role in oncogenesis. A recent study published in Nature used whole-genome sequencing (WGS), RNA sequencing, and epigenomic data ...

Traveling-wave parametric amplifiers (TWPAs) are electronic devices that boost weak microwave signals (i.e., electromagnetic ...

(a) Key local feedbacks and influencing factors for AA include (1) the lapse rate feedback, (2) the surface albedo feedback, (3) the cloud and water vapor feedbacks, (4) the cloud optical depth ...

Tsunami height map created based on observational data (top panel) and simulated maximum water levels and tsunami concentrated near the tip of Noto Peninsula, further amplified in Iida Bay (bottom ...
