"If we are putting our time and resources into communicating science but we're not on social media, we're like a tree falling in an empty forest-yes, we're making noise, but no one is listening." "Only 17% of Americans can name a living scientist. That statistic crushes my heart.""

Many newly diagnosed prostate cancers present as low Gleason score tumors that require no treatment intervention. Distinguishing the many indolent tumors from the minority of lethal ones remains a major clinical challenge. We now show that low Gleason score prostate tumors can be distinguished as indolent and aggressive subgroups on the basis of their expression of genes associated with aging and senescence. Using gene set enrichment analysis, we identified a 19-gene signature enriched in indolent prostate tumors. We then further classified this signature with a decision tree learning model to identify three genes-FGFR1, PMP22, and CDKN1A-that together accurately predicted outcome of low Gleason score tumors. Validation of this three-gene panel on independent cohorts confirmed its independent prognostic value as well as its ability to improve prognosis with currently used clinical nomograms. Furthermore, protein expression of this three-gene panel in biopsy samples distinguished Gleason 6 patients who failed surveillance over a 10-year period. We propose that this signature may be incorporated into prognostic assays for monitoring patients on active surveillance to facilitate appropriate courses of treatment.

A chemistry professor at Harvard University is trying to shrink a medical laboratory onto a piece of paper that's the size of a fingerprint and costs about a penny.

The face of high-elevation evergreen forests in Western Canada could be drastically altered as a combination of climate change, human and natural disturbances is making spruce and pine forests in the Rocky Mountains vulnerable to a slow but steady invasion of aspen trees.

You can avail erosion control and tree fence protection services from Coastline Sediment Control in Australia to get a cost-effective solution. This is the only way to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation.

The biofield energy transmissions of Mahendra Kumar Trivedi have paved way for enhanced production of mangoes naturally. The natural energy transmissions bring about changes at the molecular level of the trees and bring about a positive impact on the production.

Ginseng does not cultivate in full daylight, so the regular habitation to plant it is in hardwood jungles, where the trees offer the desirable shadow. Mahendra trivedi at trivedi foundation constantly involved in determining better techniques for ginseng agriculture and receiving best out of it.

"When trees in vast forests died during a time called the Carboniferous and the Permian, the carbon dioxide (CO2) they took up from the atmosphere while growing got buried; the plants' debris over time formed most of the coal that today is used as fossil fuel. Consequently, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere sank drastically and Earth cooled down to a degree it narrowly escaped what scientists call a 'snowball state'."

"As CCN-lite is a research effort, the documentation is to be found in various forms, collected in the doc/ directory of source tree and in README files. For the same reason writing documentation is driven by need or demand, so if you wish some aspect of the system better documented or a step-through example for some use case, we'll be happy to document it, just ask"

Squirrels are charismatic creatures that can bring joy and entertainment as they frolic in our backyards and parks. However, when these furry critters start invading our homes or wreaking havoc in our gardens, they can quickly become a nuisance. Squirrel control becomes particularly challenging as their behavior and habits change with the seasons. In this article, we will explore the unique challenges posed by squirrels at each time of year and discuss effective strategies to keep them at bay. Springtime Strategies: As spring arrives, squirrels become more active and enter the breeding season. They may choose to build nests in attics, crawl spaces, or chimneys to give birth and raise their young. To prevent these unwanted guests, it is crucial to inspect your property for any potential entry points and seal them off. Trim tree branches that hang near your roof, as squirrels can use them as bridges to access your home.

ScienceDaily (June 28, 2010) - Why are tropical forests so biologically rich? Smithsonian researchers have new evidence that the answer to one of life's great unsolved mysteries lies underground, according to a study published in the journal, Nature.

Consider the power of self-replication. Biological systems are all products of self-replication, from the very first bit of self-replicating DNA, down through billions of years, entwined in every branch of the tree of life and our own DNA.
