Understanding How Cancer Cells Adapt To Survive Harsh Tumor Microenvironments
A new study investigates the conditions that select for a metabolic adaptation known as the Warburg Effect, whereby malignant cells choose to ferment glucose to lactic acid as a means to produce energy.

How Cells Move and Don't Get Stuck
Cell velocity, or how fast a cell moves, is known to depend on how sticky the surface is beneath it, but the precise mechanisms of this relationship have remained elusive for decades. Now, researchers have figured out the precise mechanics and developed a mathematical model capturing the forces involved in cell movement.

Pervasive Health Threats of Unregulated Battery Recycling Revealed
A remediation and public education effort at an abandoned battery recycling facility in Bangladesh eliminated most lead soil contamination, but levels of the toxic metal in children living near the site did not decrease nearly as much. The discrepancy reveals the scope of other lead exposure sources and the challenge they present to public health.

Why Are Queen Bees Failing To Reproduce?
Honey bee health has been on the decline for two decades, with queen bees failing faster than they have in the past in their ability to reproduce. New research offers clues about what’s behind queen bee failure, finding that when sperm viability is low, the expression of a protein known to act against pathogens such as bacteria and viruses is high.

Missing Link in Path to an Ice Age Identified
Scientists claim to have found the "missing link" in the process that leads to an ice age on Earth. Melting icebergs in the Antarctic are the key, triggering a series of chain reactions that plunges Earth into a prolonged period of cold temperatures.

Brain Stimulation Alleviates Patient's Long-Term Depression
Scientists have demonstrated a novel personalized neuromodulation approach that – at least in one patient – was able to provide relief from symptoms of severe treatment-resistant depression within minutes.

A Multipronged Attack Can Halt Multi-Resistant Bacteria in Their Tracks
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria may be treated with antibiotics. But sometimes, the bacterium becomes resistant to the treatment which results in a long and complicated course of disease. Recent studies have shown that combining several types of antibiotics can effectively prevent resistance.
