Article Synopsis
- Seismic activity before volcanic eruptions has been studied to improve prediction techniques, but some eruptions, like those at Shinmoe-dake in Japan, occur without clear warning signs.
- Researchers analyzed eleven years of seismic data around the volcano, looking for subtle background noise patterns that could indicate preparation for an eruption.
- They discovered very weak tremors that began months prior to the eruption, suggesting that traditional seismology methods may overlook these slow, early warning signals, and emphasizing the need for long-term monitoring to detect such precursors in quiet volcanic regions.
Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of sexually transmitted infections worldwide. Capsaicin, a component of chili pepper, which can stimulate actin remodeling via capsaicin receptor TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) and anti-inflammatory effects via PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ) and LXRα (liver X receptor α), is a potential candidate to control chlamydial growth in host cells. We examined whether capsaicin could inhibit C.
