Gut microbiota in colorectal cancer: biological role and therapeutic opportunities by Pandey, Himani, Tang, Daryl W. T., Wong, Sunny Hei, Lal, Devi

“…Advances in next-generation sequencing technologies and metagenomics have provided new insights into the gut microbial ecology and have helped in linking gut microbiota to CRC. Many studies carried out in humans and animal models have emphasized the role of certain gut bacteria, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum, enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis, and colibactin-producing Escherichia coli, in the onset and progression of CRC. …”

Enhanced monsoon-driven upwelling in Southeast Asia during the Little Ice Age by Chen, Mengli, Martin, Patrick, Ren, Haojia, Zhang, Run, Samanta, Dhrubajyoti, Chen, Yi-Chi, Hughen, Konrad A., Phan, Kim Hoang, Vo, Si Tuan, Goodkin, Nathalie Fairbank

“…Here, we reconstructed changes in seawater phosphate concentration and nitrate source over the past 400 years, which reveals a more than 50% decline in residence time of seawater phosphate, and 8%–48% decline in subsurface nitrogen supply following the coldest period of Little Ice Age. Our data indicates a link between surface ocean nutrient supply and the East Asian Summer Monsoon strength in an economically important marginal sea. …”

Disclosing downstream emissions: when are companies accountable for customers’ use of their products? by Kaplan, RS, Ramanna, K

“…Three principles govern accountability: (1) Downstream accountability is limited to companies whose products are directly used by end customers. (2) Accountability for B2C companies is limited to cases where a reasonable causal link exists between product-design decisions and the downstream emissions generated by consumers. (3) Companies are accountable for disclosing emissions produced per unit of use, not for total emissions. …”
