Book Description
The Valderrama Bros. continue their hit story in this second volume of Giants! Combining stunning, evocative art with a story that breathes new life into the post-apocalypse genre. Memories are not a burden, but a beast that must be tamed. After the loss of their leader—and father figure—the apocalyptic found family The Forsaken are divided on what to do next. As they attempt to build a new place to call home, their efforts are quickly cut short when a fight among monsters forces them to move farther beyond the limits of the unknown—and with the way back blocked—they're faced with more change as they encounter a group of monster hunters. When they learn that killing monsters has unintended consequences, tensions rise, loyalties are tested, and new beasts enter the fray! In a world ruled by giant monsters, with hope lost in memories of the past, the choice to run, hide, or fight becomes more than a question of survival.

Book Description
Humans are highly curious – we are eager to understand ourselves and the world around us, and we love the feeling of discovering something new. Some people choose to become scientists and devote their lives to exploring and understanding the laws of nature and life itself. A scientific understanding of the natural world is critical for developing new technologies and materials, and for curing devastating diseases. Every scientist makes discoveries that contribute to the constantly expanding body of human knowledge. Occasionally, scientists even discover entirely new phenomena that transform the way we understand the universe! Think of Albert Einstein’s famous theories, for example, or the pioneering work of Marie Skłodowska Curie, which led to the discovery of new elements and advanced the treatment of certain cancers. Indeed, her discovery of radioactivity paved the way for both the diagnosis via X-rays, and treatment of cancer via radiation therapy. Groundbreaking discoveries such as these usually result from a combination of knowledge, dedication, brilliance, and good luck. Each year, we celebrate these transformative discoveries by awarding Nobel Prizes in chemistry, physics, economics, and physiology or medicine. These prizes represent our highest-level recognition of the scientific accomplishments that have changed the world for the better. Now, in 2021 – exactly 120 years after the first Nobel Prize was awarded – we launch this special Nobel Collection in Frontiers for Young Minds. This Collection brings you articles by Nobel laureates, written specifically for young minds. In this first-of-its-kind collection, Nobel Prize winners explain their amazing discoveries and describe how they accomplished them. These Nobel laureates share their thoughts on research and what it means to be a scientist, and they even provide advice for becoming a successful researcher and living a happy, meaningful life. Like all Frontiers for Young Minds articles, these articles have been reviewed and approved by kids like you! Did you know that Nobel Prize winners and Young Minds readers have several important traits in common? The first is curiosity. The scientific journeys of Nobel laureates are often fueled by an intense, child-like curiosity – the same curiosity that motivates you to read these articles. Many Nobel laureates also manage to stay as open-minded as Young Minds readers – they keep their opinions flexible and can be persuaded to change their minds when new data challenges their existing beliefs. In the words of 2014 Nobel laureate May-Britt Moser, “I believe that it is important to maintain your curiosity about things, both now and as an adult, and find something that you have a passion for, that makes you enthusiastic and feel alive. For myself, I can say that I am very curious about things and that it is extremely important for me to understand things. It gives me so much pleasure when I understand something that I did not understand before - this is my leading star.” We hope that this unique new Collection will be your leading star – that it will help you to further develop your own curiosity and openness, and that it inspires you reach for new discoveries in your own life!

Book Description
This is an open access book.Molecular biology has given a great impact in life science investigation. The advances in molecular biology over the last several decades have boosted research and product development in many disciplines of life science, including Biotechnology and Pharmacy. This advances comprise: (1) the progression of more sophisticated techniques in molecular biology with a broad, interdisciplinary applications; (2) the expanding flow of information of technical novelties and scientific discoveries across scientific community; and (3) the development of more sophisticated software and continuously updated databases. This has changed the rationale and approach of experimentations giving rise to revolutionizing discoveries in many fields od science. It has become evident that the deregulation of molecular processes in body is associated with, and in certain circumstances is the direct cause of, a wide range of pathological conditions. It is necessary to mention the biomedical relevance of molecular biology-related investigations for drug discovery and the development of a more personalized medicine. Given the rapidly changing and continuously evolving nature of the molecular biology field, we can anticipate that the revolutionary impact of molecular biology in life sciences is only at the beginning and is far from being finished. To highlight the rapidly growing research and product development in the field of Biotechnology and Pharmacy, the 4th International Conference on Natural Resources and Life Sciences (NRLS)” themed Biotechnology- and pharmacy-driven research and product development is presented. Following the successful program of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd NRLS, we intend to hold the next two-day conference along with a one-day optional workshop in 4th NRLS, as a scientific forum for biotechnology and pharmacy researchers and product developers to discuss the recent advances in the fields and their application. It is a great pleasure to invite you to the forthcoming 4th NRLS Conference, which will be held virtually, on August 24th-25th 2022, and the following onsite workshop on August 26th, 2022.

Book Description
This Research Topic is part of the Abiotic Stress Signaling in Plants: Functional Genomic Intervention series: Abiotic Stress Signaling in Plants: Functional Genomic Intervention Abiotic stresses such as high temperature, low-temperature, drought and salinity limit crop productivity worldwide. Understanding plant responses to these stresses is essential for rational engineering of crop plants. In Arabidopsis, the signal transduction pathways for abiotic stresses, light, several phytohormones and pathogenesis have been elucidated. A significant portion of plant genomes (most studies are Arabidopsis and rice genome) encodes for proteins involves in signaling such as receptor, sensors, kinases, phosphatases, transcription factors and transporters/channels. Despite decades of physiological and molecular effort, knowledge pertaining to how plants sense and transduce low and high temperature, low-water availability (drought), water-submergence and salinity signals is still a major question before plant biologist. One major constraint hampering our understanding of these signal transduction processes in plants has been the lack or slow pace of application of molecular genomic and genetics knowledge in the form of gene function.
