Cross-species oncogenomics offers insight into human muscle-invasive bladder cancer [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2023 Background In humans, muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is highly aggressive and associated with a poor prognosis. With a high mutation load and large number of altered genes, strategies to delineate key driver events are necessary.

Homogenisation of Vegetation in Irish Semi-Natural Grasslands. [PDF]
Ecol EvolA re‐survey of 12 Irish grassland sites revealed a decrease in species number and an apparent shift towards homogeneity of species diversity over the last 12–15 years. This raises concerns about management and species diversity/conservation. ABSTRACT Grasslands represent an important source of vegetative diversity and provide a range of important ...

Carcinogenic effects of ptaquiloside in bracken fern and related compounds. [PDF]
Br J Cancer, 2000 Consumption of the bracken fern Pteridium aquilinum by cattle has been shown to induce bladder and intestinal carcinomas in cattle and to cause a number of diseases in other farm animals. An unstable glucoside named ptaquiloside, containing a reactive cyclopropane ring, has been isolated from the fern and its potent carcinogenicity proven.
