Seismic analyses suggest an innermost inner core about 650 kilometers across, forming a distinct central region with different iron-crystal alignment, which may reflect past cooling events and implies Earth's center is more complex than the traditional four-layer model, potentially prompting a rewrite of core formation history.
Researchers at The Australian National University have discovered that a protein in the immune system, Ku70, can be activated to help combat bowel cancer by detecting signs of damaged DNA in cells and preventing cancer cells from becoming aggressive. The protein could potentially be used as a biomarker for predicting outcomes after a bowel cancer diagnosis and may be incorporated into future screening methods. The study highlights the importance of early detection and treatment in overcoming bowel cancer and raises awareness for cancer prevention, detection, and treatment.
