(CN) For the last decade, it appeared a contagious facial cancer would lead to the extinction of the Tasmanian devil, but new research suggests otherwise.
An unprecedented genetic analysis of the fatal devil facial tumor disease published in Science on Wednesday suggests not only that the marsupials are co-evolving with the disease, but that they may very well survive into the next century.
“Collectively, our group has a number of studies that have shown devils are evolving in response to the disease and the disease seems to be transitioning toward an endemic pathogen,” said Andrew Storfer, study author and biology professor at Washington State University. An expert in host-pathogen evolution, Storfer said became interested in the Tasmanian devil disease by chance while on sabbatical in Australia.

James River Church, a multi-campus, 17,000-member megachurch in Missouri, is now fending off strong criticism from the public and health officials after pictures posted on social media showed what appear to be hundreds of unmasked people, practicing very little social distancing packed inside their Springfield location to participate in Christmas services.
“Missouri church service Saturday evening. One of six. With this much covidiocy in the country, we are proving ourselves to be the dumbest nation on earth. This is not a measure of faith. It’s a measure of arrogance,” tweeted retired attorney and flight instructor Jeanne Mann on Sunday with a photo from the gathering.

Despite the success of immunotherapy in the treatment of cancers such as lung or melanoma, it is still not effective in breast cancers for being cold , with low infiltration of immune cells. Tumours use strategies to evade immune surveillance by reducing the infiltration of cells that could attack them or by attracting immunosuppressive cells. These strategies can contribute to the poor prognosis observed in breast cancer of young women and make them unresponsive to immunotherapy. For this reason, the identification of a therapy that could convert immunologically cold tumours -in which immunotherapy is not effective- into warm tumours would represent an important step to increase the efficiency of immunological therapies for breast cancer, since these are based on the reactivation of immune cells to attack tumour cells.
