In their Commentary, Ferreira & co explore the repeated evolutionary loss of the stomach in fishes, describe how this affects their digestion, discuss our current understanding of how the stomach helps digest proteins and highlight unresolved questions

Goosebump producing news this week out of Oregon Health and Science University in the diagnosis of pancreatic CA.
They developed a groundbreaking blood test, called PAC-MANN. This new test can find pancreatic cancer in just 45 minutes, even in its earliest stages.

New blood test identifies hard-to-detect pancreatic cancer with 85% accuracy
A new blood test could help doctors detect pancreatic cancer earlier, potentially improving survival rates for one of the deadliest cancers.

Acoustic telemetry reveals the small spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) is most active at night and relies on inshore waters, especially females. Small MPAs may not fully protect them. Larger MPAs and nighttime fishing bans could improve conservation. 🦈🌊
