1. Cancer control in Europe works; now it is time to extend it to poorer countries
   09-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Only a few years ago cancer was considered to be a disease of Westernized, developed countries, but now the burden is increasingly falling on less-developed countries. A leading epidemiologist told the European Cancer Conference that a major challenge for low-to-medium resource countries would be to find sufficient resources to treat the large numbers of cancers that would be diagnosed in their populations in the coming years.

   11-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Although the use of intraoperative MRI can add time to surgical procedures, it can help surgeons detect residual disease and, if needed, modify their plan for surgery while the patient is on the operating room table, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University Hospitals of Cleveland/Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md.

4. Journal details how global warming will affect the world's fisheries
   05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Watching the ebb and flow of populations of fisheries around the world can provide some insight into understanding the effects of global warming on our planet, according to a group of researchers writing in the summer 2007 issue of Natural Resource Modeling. The fact that fisheries are closely tied to human health and species health across the globe adds to their significance.

6. Alien plants attack using 'resource conservation' as weapon, researchers say
   05-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Biologists have long assumed that alien plant species pose less of a threat in resource-poor environments because they are less able to compete with indigenous plants, which have adapted to their habitats over thousands of years. But a new study by Stanford University researchers finds that invasive plants can flourish in low-resource environments by adopting efficient ways to use available resources.

8. Cannibalism of the young allows individual fish to specialize
   05-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Whitefish, Arctic char, threespine stickleback and some sunfishes display quite discrete groups living in the same lakes but utilizing different food resources in order to survive. The phenomenon is called "resource polymorphism." Why don't all species show this pattern? Early cannibalism is found in all species displaying resource polymorphism.

9. Researchers add to understanding of how brain cells communicate
   10-23-2006 · EurekAlert!
   An hour from now, will you remember reading this? It all depends on proteins in your brain called NMDA receptors, which allow your neurons to communicate with each other. University of Pittsburgh researchers have discovered how different types of NMDA receptors perform varied functions. Their findings are published in the current issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.

10. Smithsonian scientists report new carbon dioxide study
    03-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Researchers at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center report that doubling the atmospheric greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) in a scrub oak ecosystem caused a reduction in carbon storage in the soil. This response suggests a limited capacity of Earth's ecosystems to stabilize atmospheric CO2 and slow global warming. These findings add a new perspective and a measure of caution suggesting that elevated CO2, by altering microbial communities, may turn a potential carbon sink into a carbon source.
