🌊 Ocean heatwaves in SW Indian Ocean studied

Marine heatwave activity was found to be pronounced in the southwest Indian Ocean between 1982 and 2023. Researchers investigated this using satellite observations and climate models covering the period up to 2023. A noticeable suppression of these heatwaves occurred specifically from 1992 to 2004. The main drivers involve surface wind anomalies linked to atmospheric Rossby waves, which reduce latent heat loss. Volcanic eruptions and internal variability jointly caused this decadal suppression. 🌊

🔬 New two-drug combo fights tough breast cancer

Researchers found a new way to stop aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) from growing. The study, conducted at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, discovered a key role for the protein lysyl oxidase (LOX) inside TNBC cells. By blocking LOX first, they weakened the cancer cells before using a second drug to exploit a backup survival pathway. This dual-drug approach significantly blocked tumor growth in preclinical models without needing chemotherapy. This strategy opens a safe new door for targeting chemoresistant tumors. 🔬
