How sea-level will rise over the coming century could affect some regions far more than others was shown by sophisticated computer modelling.
Biomarker may Identify Neuroblastomas With Sensitivity to BET Bromodomain Inhibitors: Researchers
Neuroblastoma is the most common malignant tumor of early childhood. It is frequently associated with the presence of MYCN amplification, a genetic biomarker associated with poor prognosis.

Scientists have known for some time that sea level rise around the globe will not be uniform, but in this study the team of ice2sea researchers show in great detail the global pattern of sea-level rise that would result from two scenarios of ice-loss from glaciers and ice sheets.
The team, from Italy's University of Urbino and the UK's University of Bristol, found that ice melt from glaciers, and the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, is likely to be of critical importance to regional sea-level change in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean where the sea level rise would be greater than the average increase across the globe.
Protein 'Passport' That Help Nanoparticles Get Past Immune System Developed By Penn Researchers
The human protein CD47, found on almost all mammalian cell membranes, binds to a macrophage receptor known as SIRPa in humans. This was shown in 2008 by Discher's group.

The study focused on three effects that lead to global mean sea-level rise being unequally distributed around the world.

As the ice melts its pull decreases and the water previously attracted rushes away to be redistributed around the globe.
The team considered two scenarios in its modelling. One was the "most likely" or "mid-range" and the other closer to the upper limit of what could happen.
"The total rise in some areas of the equatorial oceans worst affected by the terrestrial ice melting could be 60cm if a mid-range sea-level rise is projected, and the warming of the oceans is also taken into account," Professor Spada said.
"In the last couple of years programmes like ice2sea have made great strides in predicting global average sea-level rise. The urgent job now is to understand how global the sea-level rise will be shared out around the world's coastlines. Only by doing this can we really help people understand the risks and prepare for the future," David Vaughan, ice2sea programme coordinator, said.
"This is the first study to examine the regional pattern of sea level changes using sophisticated model predictions of the wastage of glaciers and ice sheets over the next century," Co-author Jonathan Bamber, of Bristol University, said.
