Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, and the fourth leading cause of malignancy-related mortality. This highlights the need to understand the processes driving this disease in order to develop new treatments and improve patient outcomes. A potential therapeutic target is the increased stiffness of the tumour microenvironment, which is linked to aggressive cancer cell behaviour by enhancing biomechanical signalling.

- The study investigated influenza A virus activity among birds in four Ohio zoos to understand how the virus from wild aquatic birds might affect captive birds.
- Three low pathogenic avian influenza (AIV) isolates were recovered from zoo birds and environmental samples, indicating that the virus is present in both settings.
- Serological tests showed a prevalence of antibodies in both zoo birds and wild mallards, suggesting a diverse infection and highlighting the need for preventive measures in zoos to protect bird populations.
The Chrysosporium anamorph of Nannizziopsis vriesii (CANV), a keratinophilic fungus that naturally and experimentally causes severe and often fatal dermatitis in multiple reptile species, was isolated in pure culture from skin samples of three inland bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) with deep granulomatous dermatomycosis. The first animal presented with a focal maxillary swelling involving the skin and gingiva. This lizard died while undergoing itraconazole and topical miconazole therapy.
