Researchers used genetically-engineered mice to study the role of a Western-style diet in colon cancer development. They found that a low-fiber, high-fat diet increased the risk of colon cancer and identified key changes in gene expression profiles before tumor formation.
A pioneering team of researchers has devised a 'manifesto for fire science' to examine the intricate relationship between fire and humanity on a global scale. The study reveals that factors such as invasive plants, landscape change, climate change, and population growth create tension between fire and human inhabitants.
