A Novel Technique to Treating Lymph Node Metastases
Lymph node metastasis is frequent in many malignancies and often implies disease spread. While traditional therapies including as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are widely…
Researchers discovered a Chemical that Fights Leukemia and Lymphoma
Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have discovered a novel pharmaceutical chemical that effectively kills leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells, potentially paving…
The Host Plant’s Genetics decide the Bacteria they Attract
Plants frequently form communities with microbes in their roots, which affects plant health and development. Although a variety of factors influence microbe recruitment, it is…
Hydrocyclones
Hydrocyclones are machines that classify, separate, and concentrate particles in a liquid solution depending on size, density, and form. These are cyclonic separators that separate…
Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)
An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a device that reduces air pollution by eliminating particulate matter (dust and ash) from industrial and power plant exhaust streams.…
Ecosemiotics – a branch of semiotics
Ecosemiotics is an interdisciplinary topic that studies the connections between signals, meaning, and communication in the context of ecology and the natural world. It is…
Nitrogen Fixation – a chemical process
Nitrogen fixation is an important biological process that turns atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) into a form usable by plants and other organisms. It is a…
Climate-smart Agriculture must focus on Nutritional Quality
According to academics, farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa must diversify away from maize cultivation and instead focus on crops that are resilient to climate change and…
Researchers increase Seed Nitrogen content by lowering Plant Chlorophyll Levels
Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis, which is why plants have evolved to contain large levels of it in their leaves. However, producing this pigment is…
Blood Test Differentiates Neuroendocrine Subtypes of Advanced Prostate Cancer
Researchers have created a blood test that may accurately detect neuroendocrine prostate cancer and distinguish it from castration-resistant prostate cancer-adenocarcinoma (CRPC-adeno). Cancer cells, like a…
Scientists Manipulate the Plant Microbiome to Protect Crops from Illness
For the first time, scientists modified plants’ microbiomes, increasing the abundance of ‘good’ bacteria that defend the plant against disease. The findings could significantly cut…
