A case-control study found that patients with early-onset Merkel cell carcinoma exhibited genetic variations associated with the development of their disease.
Wild flowering plants are relying more on themselves to reproduce, which could further fuel global pollinator decline in a “vicious feedback cycle,” scientists say.
