Putting an end to high-severity fires may become harder as climate change makes monsoon storms less frequent and more extreme.
Antibodies normally fight viruses, but in the case of flaviviruses, they can make infections worse. UArizona Health Sciences immunologists took a closer look at antibody production to figure out why, which could lead to new methods of developing vaccines for flaviviruses.
Tropical forests may be more resilient to climate change than previously thought, according to a new study. The results could help make climate prediction models more accurate.
