The intertidal zones of Jiaozhou Bay (JZB) are a key storage area for carbon, playing a big part in how organic matter moves and builds up. Yet, there aren't many studies that measure the sources of this organic matter. This study looked at 36 surface sediment samples from JZB to find out where the
Dasatinib is a key medicine for treating chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but some patients' cells become resistant to it. This resistance is partly due to a protein called ABCG2 that kicks dasatinib out of the cells. Febuxostat, normally used to treat gout, can block ABCG2. A recent study looked int
Let's dive into the world of metabolomics, where scientists are using fair data and Bayesian statistics to unlock the secrets hidden within our bodies. The UC Davis West Coast Metabolomics Center (WCMC) has been at the forefront of this research for over a decade, and they're celebrating their miles
