The research found that glacier loss on Juneau Icefield, which straddles the boundary between Alaska and British Columbia, Canada, has increased dramatically since 2010. The team, which included universities in the UK, USA and Europe, looked at records going back to 1770 and identified three distinct periods in how icefield volume changed. They saw that glacier volume loss remained fairly consistent from 1770 – 1979 at between 0.65- 1.01 km3 per year, increasing to 3.08-3.72 km3 per year between 1979-2010. Between 2010-2020 there was a sharp acceleration when the rate of ice loss doubled, reaching 5.91 km3 per year.

A slew of burglaries at Denver cannabis dispensaries have city regulators wondering: Could the same thing happen at psilocybin mushroom therapy centers?. Colorado voters recently decriminalized psilocybin mushrooms for therapeutic use. Soon companies small and large will begin cultivating the mushrooms and so-called “therapy centers” will administer it. In some instances, cultivation and administration will be at one site.

Multiple myeloma is one of the most common forms of cancer of the immune cells in the bone marrow. It is considered incurable. Even when patients respond to treatment at first, the cancer comes back. To be able to intervene faster and on a more targeted basis, researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH), and the Max Delbrück Center teamed up with other partners for a comprehensive study of this disease at the molecular level. The team now describes how highly aggressive types of tumors can be detected early on in an article published in the journal Nature Cancer.* They show how changes in genetic material affect the protein profile of the tumor cells, and thus the mechanisms involved in the disease.

Study Sheds Light on Early Development of Multiple Myeloma

A biobank is a specialized repository that facilitates systematic collection, storage, and management of a wide variety of biological samples, such as tissues, blood, DNA, and other biomaterials, along with associated clinical and demographic information from individuals. These samples are preserved under controlled conditions, often at extremely low temperatures, to maintain their integrity for future research and medical purposes. Biobanks play a crucial role in biomedical research by providing a valuable resource of well-annotated biospecimens for studying diseases, understanding their underlying mechanisms, and developing personalized treatments.1-4.
