New EPA Research Highlights Food Waste Contributions to Climate Change
Environmental Protection Agency - Center for Environmental Solutions and Emergency Response (CESER)

The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that over one-third of the food produced in the United States is never eaten, wasting the resources used to produce, transport, process, and distribute it – and much of it is sent to landfills, where it breaks down and generates methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.

Newswise: Why do people age differently?

Why do people age differently?
Case Western Reserve University

Throughout our lives, changes in our DNA, called genetic mutations, occur in every healthy cell of the human body—mutations which have long been thought to be an important reason why our bodies age. But it’s not known whether some people accumulate mutations at a faster or slower rate with age, and whether those differences might predict how long we live and the risk for aging-related diseases like cancer. With a $3.5 million research project grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Jonathan Shoag, a surgeon-scientist at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and urologic oncologist at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center's Urology Institute, and Gilad Evrony, a physician-scientist at New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine and NYU Langone Hospital, seek to answer these critical questions.

Study: Patient’s Genetic Characteristics May Help Differentiate HER2-Low Advanced Breast Cancers and Guide Treatment Selection
Yale Cancer Center/Smilow Cancer Hospital

The targeted therapy trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-Dxd), an antibody drug conjugate, is now an approved treatment of HER2-low advanced breast cancers. In a new study led by Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School of Medicine, their findings revealed important differences in the genetic makeup of HER2-low advanced breast cancers — a discovery that could lead to better treatment options for patients.
