Medical Xpress / Genomic test helps flag early aggressive prostate cancer in African American patients
A new Moffitt Cancer Center study suggests a widely used genomic test can more accurately identify which men with early prostate cancer are at high risk for their disease to come back quickly after treatment, particularly ...
Phys.org / Public seed banks can fast-track corn quality research
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign corn breeders know profitability is about more than yield. By tweaking kernel composition, they can tailor corn for lucrative biotech applications, industrial products, overseas markets, ...
Phys.org / Expansion of invasive Chinese hwamei into alpine habitats in Japan: First record of songs
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have, for the first time, recorded the songs of the Chinese hwamei Garrulax canorus (designated as an invasive alien species) in the alpine zone of Mt. Kisokoma in the Central Alps (approximately ...
Medical Xpress / 30-year smoking duration-based criteria could increase lung cancer screening
Thirty-year smoking duration-based criteria could reduce eligibility gaps for all races relative to whites, while improving six-year lung cancer detection sensitivity, according to a study published online Dec. 16 in the ...
Phys.org / Living rocks in South Africa rapidly absorb carbon and grow in harsh conditions
South Africa is home to some of the oldest evidence of life on Earth, contained in rocky, often layered outcroppings called microbialites. Like coral reefs, these complex "living rocks" are built up by microbes absorbing ...
