- Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that affects blood cells and varies widely in how it affects different people.
- Researchers studied two important proteins, BACH2 and BCL6, in CLL patients to see how they impact survival rates.
- They found that low levels of these proteins are linked to shorter lifespans for patients, especially those with certain genetic changes, and discovered their shared interactions with many other proteins in the body.
River systems in developing and emerging countries are often fragmented relative to land and waste management in their catchment. The impact of inconsistent waste management and releases is a major challenge in water quality management. To examine how anthropogenic activities and estuarine effects impact water quality, we characterised water conditions, in-situ microbiomes, profiles of faecal pollution indicator, pathogenic and antibiotic resistant bacteria in the River Melayu, Southern Malaysia.
