Cancer 'Vaccine' Eliminates Tumors in Mice

Injecting minute amounts of two immune-stimulating agents directly into solid tumors in mice can eliminate all traces of cancer in the animals, including distant, untreated metastases, according to a study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

Smog-Forming Soils

A previously unrecognized source of nitrogen oxide is contributing up to about 40 percent of the NOx emissions in California, according to a study led by the University of California, Davis. The study traces the emissions to fertilized soils in the Central Valley region.

UW-Led Climate Study: Most of Last 11,000 Years Cooler Than Past Decade in North America, Europe

University of Wyoming researchers led a climate study that determined recent temperatures across Europe and North America appear to have few, if any, precedent in the past 11,000 years.

NASA's GPM Probes Category 4 Tropical Cyclone Cebile

NASA analyzed a major tropical cyclone spinning in the Southwestern Indian Ocean and measured its rainfall.

Mammals Move Less in Human-Modified Landscapes

Most mammals are on the move every day searching for food, finding a mate or seeking shelter. But mammals in human-modified landscapes move much shorter distances on average than in more natural areas – a finding that could have far-reaching consequences for ecosystems and society, according to a new international study co-authored by University of Guelph biologists.

Prof. John Fryxell, chair of U of G’s Department of Integrative Biology, and post-doctoral researcher Tal Avgar helped lead a global research project whose findings were published recently in Science.

Choose Omega-3s From Fish Over Flax for Cancer Prevention, Study Finds

Omega-3s from fish pack a stronger punch than flaxseed and other oils when it comes to cancer prevention, according to a first-ever University of Guelph study.

Prof. David Ma has discovered that marine-based omega-3s are eight times more effective at inhibiting tumour development and growth.

Warming Climate Shrinks B.C. Beetles

Some of B.C.’s beetles are shrinking as their habitats get warmer, according to new UBC research. The study provides evidence that climate change is affecting the size of organisms.

GPM Satellite Analyzes Tropical Cyclone Fehi's Rainfall

The Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM core satellite passed over Tropical Cyclone Fehi in the Southern Pacific Ocean season and identified heavy rainfall in the system.

NASA Sees Powerful Storms Around Cebile's Eye

When NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Tropical Cyclone Cebile it measured cloud top temperatures and saw its eye circled by an impressive ring of powerful thunderstorms just before it went through eyewall replacement.

UK Regional Weather Forecasts Could Be Improved Using Jet Stream Data

Weather forecasters could be able to better predict regional rainfall and temperatures across the UK by using  North Atlantic jet stream data, according to new research.
