Introduction Primary liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors and the third leading cause of cancer-related death globally.1,2 HCC accounts for 75% to 85% of primary liver cancer and has become the fourth most common malignant tumor and the second cause of cancer-related death in China.3 Main treatments of HCC include surgical
WASHINGTON (October 14, 2024) – Residents in Asheville, North Carolina are still without clean drinking water, weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated large parts of the U.S. Southeast. State and federal officials are trying to treat the North Fork Reservoir directly; usually clean several feet below the surface, the reservoir remains murky brown from sediment. According
Comamonas bacteria live in wastewater, where they break down plastic waste for food.

Researchers have long observed that a common family of environmental bacteria, Comamonadacae, grow on plastics littered throughout urban rivers and wastewater systems. But what,
Researchers have long observed that a common family of environmental bacteria, Comamonadacae, grow on plastics littered throughout urban rivers and wastewater systems. But what, exactly, these Comamonas bacteria are doing has remained a mystery. Now, Northwestern University-led researchers have discovered how cells of a Comamonas bacterium are breaking down plastic for food. First, they chew
