Uprawa i produkcja wina na średniowiecznym Śląsku, during a meeting held at the Botanical Garden of the University of Wrocław.

At first glance, a thick blanket of snow may seem uninviting for a beetle. Carabus variolosus is different. This beetle is the variegated ground beetle, which thrives in areas where snow lingers. Snow cover is a crucial factor influencing the population size of this species.
A team of scientists from the Department of Physiology and Molecular Neurobiology at the University of Wrocław in collaboration with the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the Wrocław Medical University, has published an extensive review article titled “Cross-Talk Between Cancer and Its Cellular Environment—A Role in Cancer Progression” in the journal Cells.

Unpredictable temperature fluctuations, especially drops, are a common phenomenon in the temperate climate zone. Cold stress, which includes chilling (0-15 °C) and freezing (below 0 °C), is one of the most harmful abiotic factors limiting the growth and yield of many plants. Particularly sensitive to such temperature changes are thermophilic plants cultivated in our climate zone, including the common cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.).
