Cancer Stem Cell Subpopulation Drives Metastasis Of Human Pancreatic C
Scientists have identified a distinct subpopulation of cancer stem cells (CSC) that is responsible for metastasis of a deadly human pancreatic cancer. The research provides insight into the role of CSCs in cancer initiation, progression and metastasis, and suggests new directions for development of more effective therapeutics. To Evade Chemotherapy, Some Cancer Cells Mimic Stem Cells

Pollution Can Convert Airborne Iron Into Soluble Form Required For Phy
A surprising link may exist between ocean fertility and air pollution over land, according to Georgia Institute of Technology research reported in the Feb. 16 issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research -- Atmospheres. The work provides new insight into the role that ocean fertility plays in the complex cycle involving carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in global warming.
