New BYU study: Why the current strategy to manage mule deer populations may not be working
Following a surge of interest in deer hunting beginning in the 80s and 90s, strategies to manage deer populations evolved to increase the proportion of mature male deer. While the increase in male abundance has perhaps made for better hunting conditions, the overall mule deer population in the western North America has continued to decline. New BYU research appears to have figured out at least one potential reason why.

BYU preclinical research shows macrophages can be programmed to fight solid cancer tumors
BYU preclinical research shows a promising new immunotechnology called MOTO-CAR that genetically engineers macrophages — immune cells that can enter solid tumors — to recognize cancer-associated markers, attack the tumor cells, and activate other immune cells with a memory to fight the cancer. Researchers hope it will eventually lead to treatments for difficult-to-cure cancers, including glioblastoma, triple-negative breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.
