By Dr. Muumin et al. (2023) From the Department of Animal, Aquaculture and Range Sciences Photosynthesis and respiration exert strong opposing effects on dissolved gases in earthen ponds. During daylight this provides oxygen to the water while removing carbon dioxide. At night, fish, plankton, and sediment respiration consumes the available O2 and produces CO2. This leads...Read More

Researchers headed by a team at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have devised a new way to turn cancer cells into potent anticancer agents. Scientists in the lab of Khalid Shah, PhD, developed a cell therapy approach to eliminate established tumors and induce long-term immunity, training the immune system so that it can prevent cancer from...Read More
