    Study challenges view that Neolithic monument builders devastated Europe's forests

    People who built monumental tombs in Central Europe about 5,600 years ago managed forests without causing widespread environmental destruction, using selective logging and rotational land use instead of large-scale burning, according to a new study.

Epigenetic cancer 'fingerprints' can speed up and facilitate diagnosis

Scientists have developed a tumour classification system based on epigenetic changes that can distinguish nearly 50 types of cancer with high accuracy, a breakthrough that could eventually allow molecular testing to complement or partially replace conventional histopathology.
