This study compares microbial growth in kombucha and sweet tea after introducing human hand swabs, finding kombucha resists microbial invasion better due to its SCOBY and fermentation byproducts.

The paper uses genomic profiling to show that some invasive breast cancers are clonally unrelated to their preceding DCIS, suggesting DCIS may act as both a precursor and independent risk factor.

This paper develops and validates a new bioinformatic algorithm to accurately identify somatic SNVs from small DNA amounts in FFPE breast cancer samples, showing improved performance over existing methods.
