3. Great Plains' historical stability vulnerable to future changes
   10-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A survey of long-term trends in population, farm income and crop production in the agricultural Great Plains finds that technological advances, such as improved crop varieties, irrigation and fertilizer use, have greatly increased production of major crops and allowed rural populations to remain stable over the past 50 years even as metropolitan populations have soared. Yet substantial environmental impacts have resulted, including loss of soil carbon and high nitrate runoff, especially in irrigated areas.

7. Jefferson scientists find tumor suppressor gene protects against pre-cancerous development
   11-01-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Cell biologists have provided further evidence that a gene thought to play a role in suppressing tumors actually protects against the development of pre-cancerous cell growth as well. The researchers say that the gene, caveolin-1, which they found in two major types of breast cells, could be a potential target for future drugs aimed at preventing breast cancer. The work also suggests a potentially important role of the tumor "microenvironment" in the cancerous process.
