Genomic study can reveal adaptive mechanisms of life under future ocean acidification

Human-driven global change is challenging the scientific community to understand how marine species might adapt to predicted environmental conditions in the near-future (e.g. hypoxia, ocean warming, and ocean acidification).

Study reveals urine protein biomarkers of bladder cancer

Oncotarget published "Urine protein biomarkers of bladder cancer arising from 16-plex antibody-based screens" which reported that the current study examines urine samples from 66 subjects, comprising of 31 Urology clinic controls and 35 bladder cancer patients, using a Luminex based screening platform.

Combination of Omega-3S in supplements may blunt the cardiovascular benefits of EPA

Doctors often recommend Omega-3s to help patients lower their cholesterol and improve heart health. Those Omega-3s can come from fatty fish like salmon and mackerel, or supplements that often contain a combination of the acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

The history of the Amazon Basin affects the distribution of manatees

All three species of manatee now present on Earth share a common ancestor from which they split some 6.5 million years ago, when a huge lake in Amazonia, then linked to the Caribbean, was cut off from the sea.

Inclusion of soybean and linseed oils in the diet of dairy cows improves milk quality

Inclusion of soybean and linseed oils in the diet of dairy cows made the fatty acid content of their milk even healthier for human nutrition. It also increased the proportions of omega-6 and omega-3, which in the right balance play a key role in preventing cardiovascular diseases, for example, as well as chronic inflammation and some kinds of cancer.

Combined effect of fishing and ocean warming affects viability of wild fish populations

The combined effect of rapid ocean warming and the practice of targeting big fish is affecting the viability of wild populations and global fish stock says new research by the University of Melbourne and the University of Tasmania.

Overfishing likely did not cause genetic changes in the Atlantic cod

Overfishing likely did not cause the Atlantic cod, an iconic species, to evolve genetically and mature earlier, according to a study led by Rutgers University and the University of Oslo - the first of its kind - with major implications for ocean conservation.

Scientists develop a novel strategy to determine the freshness of beef samples

Scientists at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Korea, combine an inexpensive spectroscopy technique with artificial intelligence to develop a new way of assessing the freshness of beef samples. Their method is remarkably quicker and more cost-effective than conventional approaches while maintaining a relatively high accuracy, paving the way for mass-produced devices to identify spoiled meat both in the industry and at home.
