Environment, lifestyle, and cancer in women

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental and lifestyle factors significantly contribute to gynecological cancers. The risk of ovarian cancer, one the most lethal gynecological cancer, is associated with obesity, poor dietary habits, and environmental pollutants, exacerbating hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

Transport powered by bacterial turbulence [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 158101 (2014), 2014
We demonstrate that collective turbulent-like motion in a bacterial bath can power and steer directed transport of mesoscopic carriers through the suspension. In our experiments and simulations, a microwedge-like "bulldozer" draws energy from a bacterial bath of varied density. We obtain that a maximal transport speed is achieved in the turbulent state
