A potential MRI contract agent for tumor detection

Since the first successful attempt in the early 1970s, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a non-invasive diagnostic tool has seen rapid and wide applications in clinical practice. However,new types of contrast agents remain to be developed for further improving the sensitivity and specificity of the technology.     

Nanoparticles carry chemotherapy drug deeper into solid tumors

CAS researchers have developed a new drug delivery method using nano-sized molecules to carry the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin to tumors, improving the effectiveness of the drug in mice and increasing their survival time. Their work has been reported online June 26 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Climate impact of changing landscape in tropical region

As China＇s major planting base for rubber trees （Hevea brasiliensis）,Xishuangbanna in southwest China＇s Yunnan Province has made tremendous contributions to the national economic growth. However, because the lands suitable for rubber plantations are largely distributed in tropical rainforests,the increasing rubber plantations have led to the acreage reduction of the local rainforests. These may irreversibly alternate the local ecological and environment systems, producing direct or indirect impact on climate. Of them, the changes in atmospheric chemistry are caused by the differences between biogenic volatile organic compounds （VOC） from rubber plantations and those of natural vegetation.
