Study of modern-day fishes, along with genetic and fossil analyses, shows that synovial joints first appeared in the earliest ancestors of jawed fishes.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of the disease that accounts for 15% of all breast cancer cases. Black women are twice as likely as white women to be diagnosed with TNBC and 28% more likely to die from it. In a new study published in JAMA Network Open, University of Chicago researchers analyzed data to identify trends that could shed light on why Black women with TNBC have worse survival rates.
