Evolutionary patterns of species: Reconciling taxon senescence with the Red Queen hypothesis
During evolution, it is well established that “species come, and species go.” A species appears (because of a new ecological niche that is favorable) and, later on, a species can become extinct (the environment is no longer favorable for its … Continue reading

Bone marrow-derived cells and osteoblasts influence growth of cancers in other tissues
A phenomenon many of us have always wondered about is: when patients are in their final stages of cancer, why do they lose their appetite and waste away? Although the tumor might remain localized to one organ/tissue, while many other … Continue reading

Participation of bacteria in our Microbiome that appear to enhance NaCl-induced hypertension
On numerous occasions before, these GEITP pages have detailed our increasing realization that the bacteria in our gut (i.e. our microbiome) cooperates with our host genes and enzymes through a large number of incredibly intimate interactions. The attached full paper … Continue reading

U.S. Judge orders THREE different publishing houses in (guess which country) to “CEASE all deceptive practices”
Last week, a U.S.district judge ordered three “online open-access predatory journal” publishing houses with ties to India to halt all deceptive practices — including establishing “sham editorial boards,” making false claims of “rigorous peer review,” and holding accepted papers “hostage” … Continue reading

Some more ideas about statistical analysis and how to improve on Reproducibility — PLUS a description of “Statcheck,” an automatic error-spotter !!
These pages of GEITP have been following the debate about “reproducibility in published data” and “how best to perform statistical analysis” on data planned for publicatioin. The two attached brief articles summarize the latest. Although many have declared how much … Continue reading

Autoimmune diseases are more likely to appear — years after having received cancer drugs of the class “checkpoint inhibitors”
It has long been known that successful cancer chemotherapy, especially in children, can lead subsequently to secondary tumors occurring later in life –– undoubtedly due to the mutagenic properties of the cancer-treating drug. The attached one-page article tells the story … Continue reading

Buying an “inbred mouse” for your experiments — might not be as homogeneous and stable, from year to year, as you think …..
As these GEITP pages have described several times before, “purely inbred mouse lines,” as well as established cell culture lines, are almost always subject to change, and scientific researchers need to be aware of, and on the lookout for, such … Continue reading
