Osaka team develops genetic treatment for brain tumor

OSAKA, Japan - An Osaka University research team said on Sept. 28 it has successfully used genetic treatment to cure mice implanted with malignant brain tumors. The brain tumor shown above disappeared after the treatment, which involves integrating a modified gene into a specially made retrovirus and injecting it into the brain to activate an administered drug, enabling it to kill off the tumor.

    Gators Are Sensitive To Environmental Changes - Everglades

    Kevin Olejniczak, wildlife technician, left, holds an American alligator while Sergio Balaguera-Reina, research scientist studying conservation biology, collects data during a research survey with the University of Florida Croc Docs team Thursday, November 7, 2024, in Everglades National Park. The alligators health is a good indicator of the health of the Everglades. Alligators like to hunt in the dark but tonight they’re the creatures being stalked, not for sport but for science by two University of Florida wildlife biologists, Sergio Balaguera-Reina and Kevin Olejiczak. Alligators, along with their cousins and co-residents crocodiles, are sensitive to environmental changes in the Everglades. That makes them what scientists call a good “indicator species” for assessing progress in the on-going multibillion-dollar effort to restore the natural water flow to the sprawling River of Grass. Gators are a bit like Goldilocks. Too much water, and they use too much energy trying to catching fish and other prey. Not e

        China's Juncao technology sows seeds of hope in Africa

        This photo taken on August 15, 2024 shows a view of Juncao grass field in Huye District, Southern Province, Rwanda. Since the 1980s, Lin Zhanxi, a professor of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, has led a research team on Juncao technology in China's southeastern Fujian Province. Juncao means "mushroom" and "grass" in Chinese. Its versatility is a key feature, allowing it to grow edible mushrooms, provide livestock feed and help battle desertification. Since the 1990s, China has shared the technology with over 100 countries by opening training classes and conducting on-site demonstrations. By now, Juncao technology has taken root in more than 40 African countries, helping African farmers combat poverty and promoting cooperation between China and Africa.
