Mendelian randomization (MR) has become a hot topic in lung cancer (LC) research. This method uses genetic variations to figure out if certain factors cause disease. Yet, there hasn"t been a thorough look at how this field has grown worldwide. This is where a recent study steps in. It dives into
Fish can be very sensitive to changes in their environment. Two types of fish, Colossoma macropomum and Piaractus brachypomus, were put through a temperature test. This was to see how their bodies reacted to a sudden drop in temperature, followed by a return to normal. The fish were kept in water
