Researchers have identified a link between certain gut bacteria and an increased risk of bowel cancer. The study found that individuals with a specific type of bacteria from the Bacteroidales group had a slightly higher risk of developing the disease, with risks ranging from 2-15%.
A study found that patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), a pre-cancerous condition, made twice as many hospital visits than others of the same age. Researchers believe this could help diagnose myeloma at an earlier stage and improve treatment outcomes.
A new study by University of Bristol scientists reveals that meat-eating theropod dinosaurs had broadened their food base. The researchers analyzed the jaws and teeth of 83 theropod dinosaurs, including giants and small ones, to describe every possible jaw shape and tooth shape in terms of about 80 measurements.
University of Queensland scientists have identified a new reference material and used a state-of-the-art instrument to better date rock formations in central Asia. This new method could help establish the relationship between historical episodes of magma activity and mineral accumulation.
The MaveDB database was developed to facilitate the sharing of complex functional genomic data sets, enabling researchers to access and interpret complex data more efficiently. This will accelerate research into gene function, disease mechanisms, and protein engineering.
Satellites are now essential for monitoring ocean carbon levels, which helps slow climate change. The new study highlights the potential of increased satellite exploitation to fill critical knowledge gaps in ocean monitoring.
The UK will pioneer the use of FLASH radiotherapy and artificial intelligence in cancer treatment. Cancer Research UK RadNet aims to improve cancer survival by optimising and personalising radiotherapy.
