This project aims to examine the effects of the environmental estrogen, bisphenol A (BPA), on inflammatory pathways in human breast cancer cells. Environmental estrogens are found in a wide variety of plastics, food, and ...

Hybridization is an important evolutionary and biological phenomenon, especially in plants, which hybridize more frequently than animals and fungi. Plant species that hybridize often exhibit additivity, both morphologically ...

Climate change is a serious ongoing problem and understanding how plant species respond to these changes is crucial for planning agricultural and conservation efforts. Specific leaf area (SLA), a proxy for investment and ...

A diagnostic odyssey is the process of determining a correct medical diagnosis after symptom onset or disease recognition. Unfortunately, the path to diagnosis is frequently not linear and often involves set-backs, changes ...

Climate change is an ongoing problem that is predicted to continue impacting ecosystems around the world. It is important to understand how plants will respond to novel climatic conditions, either by migration (moving to ...
