ICBM community cancer registry analysis: a focus on Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma cases in missileers [PDF]
arXivThis study investigates the incidence and age at diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) among missileers stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB) compared to national benchmarks. The analysis was motivated by reports of elevated cancer diagnoses within the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) community, specifically targeting NHL cases due to

Modified carbon dot‐mediated transient transformation for genomic and epigenomic studies in wheat
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 4, Page 1139-1152, April 2025.Summary Genotype restriction poses a significant bottleneck to stable transformation in the vast majority of plant species, thereby severely impeding advancement in plant bioengineering, particularly for crops. Nanoparticles (NPs) can serve as effective carriers for the transient delivery of nucleic acids, facilitating gene overexpression or silencing ...
