New research suggests that immunotherapy given before and after surgery could help patients with diffuse pleural mesothelioma, one of the most challenging cancers to treat. A phase II clinical trial tested immunotherapy in resectable cases, with promising results presented at the World Conference on Lung Cancer. New research suggests that immunotherapy given before and after …

Seagrass, a vital coastal ecosystem, may be one of the planet’s best natural carbon sponges—but its fate depends on how we manage nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. While moderate nutrient input can supercharge seagrass growth and boost carbon storage, too much—especially nitrogen—fuels phytoplankton that block sunlight and devastate seagrass beds. Seagrass, a vital coastal ecosystem, …

Ghost sharks have evolved rows of true teeth on a bizarre forehead rod used for mating. Fossil and genetic evidence revealed the tenaculum’s teeth develop the same way as those inside the mouth, offering a striking example of evolution’s ability to repurpose biological tools. Ghost sharks have evolved rows of true teeth on a bizarre …
