Evolution rampant: house mice on Madeira.

30 Oct 2009 House mice are extra-ordinary animals -extra-ordinary in the literal sense of that word. They are pests - but also a valued laboratory animal. They are generalized rodents - and successful in habitats from tundra to tropics and from sea-level to ... Read more...

Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA reveals isolation of imperilled grey nurse shark populations (Carcharias taurus).

30 Oct 2009 Loss of sharks and other upper-trophic marine predators has sparked worldwide concern for the stability of ocean ecosystems. The grey nurse (ragged-tooth or sand tiger) shark (Carcharias taurus) is Vulnerable on a global scale, Critically Endangered ... Read more...

Invasive tubular carcinoma of the breast frequently is clonally related to flat epithelial atypia and low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ.

30 Oct 2009 Low-grade precursor lesions, such flat epithelial atypia (FEA), low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (lg-DCIS), and lobular neoplasia (LN) often coexist with invasive tubular carcinomas (TCs) of the breast. To evaluate a possible clonal relationship, ... Read more...
