Dogs and humans have been companions throughout recorded history. Our four-legged friends appear in early written tales, such as the Mesopotamian poem The Epic of Gilgamesh, and are mentioned by name in ancient Egyptian inscriptions. In prehistoric gravesites worldwide, dogs are found laid to rest alongside humans. They’ve been with us through…

Common drugs for controlling pain and inflammation – such as aspirin and ibuprofen – improved overall lung cancer survival by a statistically significant margin in a long-term study of patient medical records. This finding called for more definitive randomized clinical trials.
Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was…

On any given day, microscopist Susan Lea, D.Phil., and her team at NCI at Frederick collect more data than can fit on any standard hard drive, creating a challenge for data storage and analysis.
Their average data collection is 5 terabytes, a quantity roughly 20 times the storage capacity of a 256-gigabyte laptop or the equivalent of storing…

The classical RAS family of proteins functions as molecular switches at the cell’s plasma membrane where it cycles between an active and inactive state. The active state initiates a cascade of events that promote downstream signaling to regulate cellular functions, such as cell proliferation.
Mutations and dysregulation of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK…
