Scientists have learned how to interrupt cancer cell growth; allowing them to prevent cancer’s adaptation to treatment

January 17, 2019 -

Professor Vadim Backman from Northwestern University led a fascinating new study which suppressed how cancer cells translate themselves. This is not a new treatment for cancer; rather a new strategy to complement existing therapies. Backman’s approach is simple: By regulating a cancer cell’s ability to adapt to treatment, current technologies would be able to stop cancer growth completely.

The treatment works by controlling a group of macromolecules (consisting of DNA, ...

Oak tree adaptation: Trees found to coordinate volume of acorns released each year in an effort to produce better reproductive results

October 27, 2018 -

The last British mast was in 2013, where the trees produced vast quantities of acorns too many for Britain's wildlife to consume. Last year, many people reported bumper crops of acorn on the oak trees, which hinted at a mast year.

Scientists are still baffled as to why the oaks do not produce uniform number of nuts each year, but the mast years do suggest that the trees coordinate their mass production in order to have a better chance at creating saplings in the spring....

New Antarctic study reveals Medieval Warm Period had far less sea ice than today

May 22, 2025 - adaptation to ice-free habitats. Notably, the study aligned with ice-core records showing warmer subantarctic temperatures during the medieval peak, when Vikings settled Greenland and English vineyards thrived. As climatologist Dr. Robertscribbler notes, “This underscores how natural variability can drive polar climate cycles independent of atmospheric CO2—meaning the current warming may be a blend of human and natural factors, not purely anthropogenic.”

Recent satellite ...

A deep dive into Richard S.J. Tol’s “Climate Economics”

July 29, 2025 - adaptation is often more cost-effective and immediate. He discusses the role of government in facilitating adaptation, from building infrastructure to providing information and support to vulnerable communities.

Tol also tackles the challenges of international cooperation, discussing the free-rider problem and the potential for cartel formation. He analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, and the prospects for future ...

Scientists discover a soil bacteria that commits “ecological suicide”

June 04, 2018 - adaptation that will keep it alive in dangerous circumstances. However, that adaptation would become dangerous if an entire species practiced it.

The authors suspected that the Paenbacillus bacteria evolved the ability to quickly digest nutrients so that they can survive in environments with little food. However, the ability produces acidic byproducts that raise the pH level of the soil.

In small doses, the acidic waste products can be handled by natural ...

Leaked documents reveal plan of poor countries to impose global CARBON TAX on developed nations

September 28, 2022 - adaptation and loss and damage," said Adelle Thomas, director of the Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience Research Center at the University of the Bahamas.

"For countries in the Caribbean that have contributed the least to climate change but are already struggling with current impacts, it is critical that global warming is limited to 1.5 C; that funding for adaptation is significantly increased and made more accessible; and that there is ...

Turns out Stone Age tools were almost perfect: Early humans perfected a tool technology that lasted 300,000 years

November 05, 2025 - adaptation, enabling hominins to exploit new resources—like the carcasses of grassland animals—as their old world vanished.Redefining "primitive"

This discovery fills a critical gap in the human evolutionary record. Only a handful of sites in Africa contain stone tools older than 2.6 million years, and most offer only a brief snapshot of a single moment. Namorotukunan provides a continuous timeline, revealing a story of stability, not stagnation. The technology ...

High-protein supplements may help you recover faster after a strenuous workout

June 12, 2018 - adaptation after more protein supplementation. An alternative possibility accounted for the hemodynamic adaptation after high-protein supplementation is an improved brain mitochondria function."

Overall, increasing protein content in a carbohydrate-based supplementation after an exercise recovery dramatically improved oxygen levels in the brain without requiring too much blood during the next high-intensity exercise. The findings of the study were published ...

The sun, the sink and the climate debate: A challenge to carbon-centric policy

December 11, 2025 - adaptation and ecological resilience.A solar-centric climate view

Astrophysicist Dr. Willie Soon, in a recent interview, presented a starkly different narrative on climate drivers. Based on decades of solar and stellar physics research, Soon asserts that the sun provides 99.99% of the energy powering Earth’s weather and climate. He contends that temperature patterns over the last 150 years align more closely with fluctuations in solar activity than with rising ...

Comments by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

In this comic, the jolly, supportive reindeer are coaching Santa Claus through some valuable cross training exercises. It's a technique used by successful top athletes that involves an exercise routine your body isn't used to in order to initiate further adaptation by your muscles. In this case, Santa is pulling the sleigh, just like a lot of boxers, wrestlers and martial ...

United Nations demands $1.3 trillion for “climate justice” ahead of COP30 summit

November 05, 2025 - adaptation efforts in developing countries." This comes as developed nations have pledged to mobilize $100 billion annually by 2020, a target yet to be met.

Meanwhile, Brazilian actress and environmental activist Luisa Mell plans to lie naked at the COP30 summit. She will be painted "to resemble a scorched Mother Earth" as a huge fork "pierces" her back. Her dramatic protest aims to "lay bare the hypocrisy of serving meat, dairy, and other planet-killing foods" ...

It turns out, viruses “mingle” with each other to escape the immune system

August 06, 2019 - adaptation of other members of given viral population.

In their study, Domingo-Calap and his team showed that the relationship between viruses play a considerable role in the adaptation of interferon-resistant variants. Furthermore, the evolution of these pathogens involves a social process.The vesicular stomatitis virus evades the immune system with the help of other viruses

Immune system intelligence: Your biochemistry “morphs” to defend against new parasites

November 11, 2017 - adaptation technique that enables these fish to survive in many different habitats. Despite this adaptation, the genes maintained critical function that remained practically the same for tens of millions of years.

The researchers said that the MHC genes are important immune system defenses found in vertebrates, including humans. The immune genes need to be highly diverse to keep up with the rapid evolution of parasites within the host. (Related: Kamikaze ...

Race-based medicine misses the point: skin pigmentation impacts health and chronic disease

a long time ago - adaptation to people who lived in northern climates with relatively low sunlight. In fact, white skin is white precisely because it needs to allow more sunlight to enter the skin organ so that sufficient quantities of vitamin D can be generated. Technically speaking, white skin is the mutation here, because early humans all had darker skin. White skin was the adaptation that allowed humans to survive in more Northern climates where sunlight was less intense.Think ...

More than 1,600 scientists sign declaration: “NO CLIMATE EMERGENCY” exists at all

September 01, 2023 - adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation works whatever the causes are."

"To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model makers have put in. This is precisely the problem of today's climate discussion to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. Should not we free ourselves from the naïve belief in immature climate models?"

Archaeologists unearth Medieval poop that might hint at what a healthy gut microbiome looks like

October 09, 2020 - adaptation

The gut microbiome plays an important role in health. It helps the body set up defenses against harmful pathogens and metabolize nutrients from food. Furthermore, it might also be crucial to human adaptation, suggested another study, published in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.

Using data from previous research, experts from the U.S., Denmark and Germany compared the gut microbiota of early humans, apes and other non-human primates....

Aliens with green or grey skin? No, researchers say extraterrestrial life may look like pasta

December 04, 2019 - adaptation

These microbes take the shape of pasta as a necessary adaptation to the environment they live in. Specifically, the Mammoth Hot Springs of the Yellowstone National Park, where the researchers conducted their investigation.

In regular, calm waters, these microbes would settle without any kind of shape. In rushing water however, these organisms will cling to one another in order to survive, thus making them look a lot like pasta, with the researchers ...

This season’s flu is officially classified an “epidemic” as the rate of young children requiring hospitalization doubles in a week – and the CDC warns new strains are emerging

January 21, 2018 - adaptation focuses on strengthening natural responses throughout the body, including lymph movement, endocrine function and hormone signaling, microbiome intelligence, digestion, waste filtration, mucous membrane efficiency, inflammation reduction, and stress reduction. The strength of the terrain inside the body should be the first priority when taking a practical approach to adaptation to infectious disease.

This is why peer-reviewed studies show that ...
