Rethinking Europe’s Forests: Why Tree Species Matter for Climate Cooling
Yao et al. show that in Europe, forestation’s climate benefits depend on tree species. Converting conifers to broadleaves can reduce summer heat extremes and reverse warming effects of afforestation, ...

Discovery and mechanism of a highly selective, antifungal acetyl-CoA synthetase inhibitor - Nature Communications
Acetyl-CoA synthetases have been proposed as targets for development of new antimicrobial drugs. Here, Jezewski et al. identify isoxazole-based compounds with activity against the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans, and describe their mechanism of action as inhibitors of fungal acetyl-CoA synthetases.
