In 2023, an unprecedented marine heatwave threatened to wipe out critically endangered elkhorn and staghorn corals in the Florida Keys. However, a pre-established network of experts, nurseries, and gene banks successfully prevented their regional extinction. This survival demonstrates the vital importance of proactive restoration infrastructure in the face of climate change.
Researchers have identified distinct genetic and molecular differences between common oral leukoplakia and its more dangerous counterpart, proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. The discovery of specific variants in the Syndecan 3 gene offers a promising new biomarker for early diagnosis and prognostic prediction.
Researchers have discovered that genes typically associated with heart function are also active within human fat tissue. Their activity levels differ significantly between deep belly fat and the fat under your skin, correlating strongly with blood pressure and insulin resistance.
A systematic review of 14 studies indicates that topical zinc significantly alleviates oral mucositis induced by cancer therapy. While results for other oral conditions are promising, the current evidence remains limited and variable.
A new deep learning pipeline successfully distinguishes rare Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) from white blood cells using standard bright-field imagery. By training with augmented data and fluorescence channels but testing solely on standard images, the model offers a robust, non-invasive tool for cancer detection.
Researchers have tested whether large language models can accurately extract clinical data from unstructured patient records to predict bladder cancer survival.
