Ovarian cancer cells adapt to their surroundings to aid tumour growth: Study ANI | Updated: Jan 13, 2021 11:24 IST
Washington [US], January 13 (ANI): A detailed description of how ovarian cancer cells adapt to survive and proliferate in the peritoneal cavity has been published in Frontiers in Oncology.
Researchers show that structures inside the cells change as the disease progresses from benign to malignant, helping the cells to grow in an otherwise hostile environment of low nutrients and oxygen. Understanding how these cellular adaptations are regulated could herald new targeted treatment options against the fifth-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Our study compared the structures inside cells representing different stages of ovarian cancer, including after aggregation, which enhances their survival, says Eva Schmelz, a Professor and Scientific Director at Virginia Tech University, USA, who led this research.

“Micromobility” is catching on with American urbanites. A report released by the North American Bike Share Association (NABSA) last month found that shared bikes and scooters provided 157 million trips on 194,000 vehicles in 2019, figures that should rise significantly when NABSA gets around to assessing the state of the industry in 2020 sometime next summer. Add to that the as-yet-unmeasured number of trips taken on privately owned micromobility vehicles and the impact on cities becomes becomes even greater. Bikes, e-bikes, scooters and e-scooters offer a low-carbon, high-efficiency, healthier-for-the-user alternative to travel by car, and in dense urban environments, they have the added advantage of taking up very little space on the streets. But the question of where to put them when they’re not in use is also becoming more important. Transportation advocates are warning that without more parking for bikes and scooters, the growth of micromobility could stall, and in New Yo

The law is really quite literal and simple. Here in Alexandria and in the entire commonwealth, you can no longer hold a cell phone or any communication device in your hand while driving.
Now there are two notable exceptions to the law: If you are lawfully parked or stopped you may grab that phone and that includes being stopped at a red light, or if you need to call 911 because of an emergency.
Lieutenant Jason North here in Alexandria says they are growing more and more concerned with distracted driving.
