How B-cell lymphoma hijacks signals from the microenvironment to survive
In this work, we uncover the molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of tumor microenvironment–induced silencing of the pro-apoptotic protein BIM, using mantle cell lymphoma as a cellular model.
Ice-rock avalanches in a warming Himalaya indicate pathways toward effective preparedness
Cryospheric hazards such as ice rock avalanches are increasing across the Himalaya as glaciers destabilize under climate warming. This study examines recent events and highlights pathways for anticipatory hazard governance, early warning systems, and community centered preparedness.
