- β-Arrestins, specifically ARRB1 and ARRB2, play significant roles in bladder cancer by influencing tumor behavior and response to chemotherapy.
- The study found that ARRB2 is an important independent predictor of metastasis and chemotherapy outcomes, showing around 80% accuracy in predicting clinical results.
- Altering levels of ARRBs affects cancer stem cell characteristics, with increased ARRB2 levels leading to reduced tumor growth and enhanced sensitivity to Gemcitabine treatment.
Bumblebees secrete a substance from their tarsi wherever they land, which can be detected by conspecifics. These secretions are referred to as scent-marks, which bumblebees are able to use as social cues. Although it has been found that bumblebees can detect and associate scent-marks with rewarding or unrewarding flowers, their ability at discriminating between scent-marks from bumblebees of differing relatedness is unknown.
