The tumor-microbe connection. [PDF]
Mol OncolTumor‐associated bacteria (TAB) dynamically influence cancer biology by modulating tumor progression, metastatic spread, and therapeutic efficacy. Their presence redefines the tumor microenvironment (TME) as a microbial–host interface, yet mechanistic insights remain limited. Understanding TAB colonization routes, functional impacts, and crosstalk with

EnterotoxigenicBacteroides fragilis(ETBF)-mediated colitis in Min (Apc+/-) mice: a human commensal-based murine model of colon carcinogenesis [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2010 Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents a common cancer worldwide and the fourth leading cause of cancer in the US with 150,000 new cases annually in the adult population.1 CRC is ultimately a genetic disease in which damaged DNA and genetic instability initiate malignant transformation.

Re-Examining Mortality Sources and Population Trends in a Declining Seabird: Using Bayesian Methods to Incorporate Existing Information and New Data [PDF]
, 2013 The population of flesh-footed shearwaters (Puffinus carneipes) breeding on Lord Howe Island was shown to be declining from the 1970’s to the early 2000’s. This was attributed to destruction of breeding habitat and fisheries mortality in the Australian
