Cancer Breakthrough!?

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

Image a no-surgery and no-chemo approach to cancer treatment that resulted in a 100% rate of remission with no serious adverse side effects. Sounds like a dream, right?

It’s actually happened.

Background: DNA mismatch is a factor in 15% to 29% of all colon cancers and 10% of rectal cancers. This mismatch occurs randomly during normal DNA replication (which is involved in cell creation) as well as due to injury from environmental factors (e.g., pollution). The body has a process for detecting and repairing mismatch errors, as shown in the graphic below. However, for whatever reasons, sometimes that process doesn’t work.

The mismatch can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, which is cancer.

DNA error repair process. The graphic shows an error in duplicating a DNA strand, in which the system identifies the mistakes, cuts out the section of the new strand containing the mistakes, and replaces it.

World Oceans Day 2022: Collaboration, Collections and Cleanups

It’s really just one ocean – humans like to divide things and put into boxes – grin.

Petchary's Blog

Tomorrow (or perhaps today for you) – Wednesday, June 8 is World Oceans Day. But, don’t we have One Ocean, just as there is just One Planet?

There are two events I should tell you about. Firstly, the United Nations will have an online event starting at 10:00 am EDT (9:00 am Jamaican time), which will elaborate on the 2022 theme, “Revitalisation: Collective Action for the Ocean.” Topics addressed will include Nature-based Solutions; Local and Indigenous Knowledge; Community and Collaborative Efforts; Biodiversity and Resilience; and Blue Economy, Responsible Management, and Finance; among others. You canregister here.

Register for tomorrow’s discussion.

The United States, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Panama Sign a Memorandum of Understanding in Support of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor (CMAR) – United States Department of State

CMAR is a precedent-setting regional ocean conservation effort that spans more than 500,000 square kilometers, covering one of the most highly productive and biologically diverse areas in the ocean.  It is also home to the world-renowned Cocos, Coiba, Galápagos, Gorgona, and Malpelo Islands, harbors unique and vulnerable habitats, and supports a rich diversity of flora and fauna.  The region is widely recognized as one of the most important areas for the protection, conservation, and management of biodiversity in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean.

Through the Memorandum of Understanding, the United States and the CMAR countries will work together to strengthen marine governance, maritime security, and marine conservation finance, contribute to the goal of effectively conserving or protecting at least 30 percent of the global ocean by 2030, and preserve migratory routes for sea turtles, whales, sharks, and rays.  The United States and the CMAR countries will also collaborate to address the challenges that threaten CMAR, including illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing, and to protect marine biodiversity and other ocean resources from the impacts of climate change.
