The combustible sedimentary rock, better known as coal, was not only crucial to the onset of advanced technology here on Earth, but it should also be key to the development of advanced E.T.s residing on any given exoearth. ...
Medical Xpress / First in-human study finds novel immune cell therapy is safe and effective in advanced lymphoma
In a first-in-human study, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center observed strong responses and early signs of antitumor activity in patients with difficult-to-treat non-Hodgkin lymphomas who received ...
Phys.org / Goats can play a role in multi-pronged restoration of buckthorn-invaded woodlands
Goats are increasingly being used in efforts to manage invasive common buckthorn in Midwestern woodlands. New research demonstrates when and how they are best used.
