How Colon Cancer Unfolds in the Body
PNNL scientists have taken one of the most in-depth looks ever at the riot of protein activity that underlies colon cancer and have identified potential new molecular targets to try to stop the disease.
Keeping First Responders Safe
When two powerful earthquakes rocked southern California earlier this month, officials’ attention focused, understandably, on safety. How many people were injured? Were buildings up to code? How good are we at predicting earthquakes?
Egbert and Zucker Lend Expertise to National Engineering Biology Roadmap
Egbert and Zucker were two of 62 contributors, in addition to the consortium’s leadership and working group.
Phase Two of LungMap Project Now Covers Early Adulthood
The first phase, which started in 2014, generated foundational data from developing mouse and human lungs, created a web portal for public data sharing, and established a repository of human lung tissues.
New Software Tool Generates Data Analysis for Complex ToF-SIMS
A team of researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory developed a new and flexible software tool called “Advanced Spectra PCA Toolbox.”
Microbes Spurn Carbon Meals of Limited Energy Value
Organic matter found in vast quantities in oxygen-starved floodplains would yield only minimal energy for hungry microorganisms, which spurn the meal, researchers show in a study in Nature Geoscience.
High Stakes in Soil Microbiology
PNNL's McDearis and Rod designed a new device—a porous soil stake—that, once installed, enables repeated sampling of a specific soil site at multiple depths, without further disrupting the soil.
Katrina Waters Receives the 2024 PANWAT Achievement Award
The Pacific Northwest Association of Toxicologists (PANWAT) presented its annual Toxicology Achievement Award to Katrina Waters at the Society of Toxicology Pacific Northwest Chapter Meeting, held in Lynnwood, Washington, on September 30th.
Understanding Drivers of Oxygen Consumption in Flooded Coastal Soils
Researchers integrated field measurements, lab experiments, and model simulations to study oxygen consumption dynamics in soils along a coastal gradient.
Unraveling the Soil and Stratigraphic Heterogeneities across Land–Lake Interfaces
This study evaluated the sensitivity of multiple geophysical methods to measure and evaluate the spatiotemporal variability of select soil properties across terrestrial–aquatic interfaces.
