Registrations are now open for Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) grains research events to be held in South Australia in early 2021.
GRDC Grains Research Updates – designed to inform grain growers’ decision making leading into the next cropping season, and beyond – have been scheduled for February.
Information, insights and advice to be presented at the Updates have the potential to underpin improved agronomic practices for increased profitability, according to GRDC Grower Relations Manager – South, Tom Blake.
genetic variants that influence the amount or function of human
“helper proteins” that support or facilitate SARS-CoV-2. The gene variants reveal potential target structures for new drugs. The researchers have now published their results in
Nature Communications. The team examined 179 proteins known to be involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection for their naturally occurring variants. They discovered 38 targets for existing drugs as well as evidence that certain proteins that interact with the virus influence the immune system. DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-19996-z

all-cause excess mortality and COVID-19–related mortality during the early pandemic period among adults aged
25 to 44 years. Because unintentional drug overdoses are the usual leading cause of death in this demographic, COVID-19 deaths were compared with unintentional opioid deaths. From March 1, 2020, to July 31, 2020, a total of 76,088 all-cause deaths occurred among US adults aged 25 to 44 years, which was 11,899 mo
