"Cancer cells don’t quickly adapt or rewire this copper dependency, which creates a therapeutic window. By introducing a copper chelator, we can dampen the MAPK signaling that tumors rely on for growth." —@bradylabupenn, @jbiolchem associate editor https://t.co/A2M8oQuV4J

A study published today in @AppEnvMicro shows that calcium plays a significant role in enhancing the resistance of potato plants to bacterial wilt:
