It's finally out! With this new paper, Salma and Monica show that hypoxia-regulated ERFVIIs are not immediately destabilised during reoxygenation: they instead persist in the nucleus to control oxidative stress genes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nations’ plans to ramp up coal, gas and oil extraction ‘will put climate goals beyond reach’
New data shows governments now planning more fossil fuel production in coming decades than they were in 2023 Governments around the world are ramping up coal, gas and oil extraction which will put climate goals beyond reach, new data has shown. Far from reducing reliance on fossil fuels, nations are planning higher levels of fossil fuel production for the coming decades than they did in 2023, the last time comparable data was compiled.
