Impact Journals sponsors 2024 Ride for Roswell

(Press-News.org)
Impact Journals is thrilled to sponsor Team Open Access again in the annual cycling event to end cancer, The Ride for Roswell, on June 22, 2024.
BUFFALO, NY- June 11, 2024 – The Ride for Roswell is one of the nation’s largest cycling events—hosted by Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center—to raise awareness and funds for cancer research and patient care. This charity bike ride, based out of Buffalo, New York, has brought people together for 28 years to celebrate cancer survivors, pay tribute to lives that have been lost, and to work together to support research and find a cure.
THE ORIGIN OF THE RIDE
The Ride for Roswell started in 1989 when Mitch Flynn, owner of the advertising agency Flynn & Friends, met Katherine Gioia. Katherine was a four-year-old patient battling a rare form of cancer. After Katherine’s death (less than a year after her diagnosis), Katherine’s mother, Anne Gioia, and aunt, Donna Gioia, founded the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation in her memory to raise money for cancer research and treatment. On June 29, 1996, Mitch and Alliance Foundation staff launched the first Ride for Roswell.
In the 28 years since then, thanks to over 135,000 riders and thousands of volunteers, the Ride for Roswell has raised over $72 million to fund cancer research. The event has become one of the largest charity rides in the United States.
THIS YEAR
This year, Ride Day is on Saturday, June 22, 2024, and will once again begin at the University at Buffalo North Campus. There are nine routes to choose from, ranging in distance from five to 100 miles. All riders are encouraged to check in on the Thursday or Friday before Ride Day.

JOIN A TEAM: TEAM OPEN ACCESS
Impact Journals has been a part of this event since 2018 and continues to sponsor captain Sergei Kurenov’s peloton, Team Open Access. Team Open Access was named in honor of all open-source online medical journals, such as Oncotarget, Aging, Genes & Cancer, and Oncoscience. Sergei works at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center to create, develop, and implement innovative diagnostic and surgical pre-planning software used in cancer treatment. He has been riding in the event since 2016.
“I am proud to [say] that our team is supported again by open source cancer-related scientific journals: Oncotarget and Aging! Both of these journals publish high-impact research papers of general interest and biological significance in all fields of cancer research,” Sergei said.
There is still time to join Team Open Access in the Ride for Roswell. You can also support the team by giving a donation of any size. Any avenue of support you may choose to donate to the Ride for Roswell will make a difference and change lives.
“Finding a cure for cancer is something we are all incredibly passionate about, and we are so thankful and grateful for your support. Together, we can make a difference!” Sergei said. “Thank you so much for your donations, your support, and well wishes!”

· Virus raises ‘red flag’ on tumors so immune cells know to attack it
CHICAGO --- Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that an attenuated (weakened) virus can help eliminate cancer in mice. In addition, mice that were treated with this virus were more resistant to developing tumors later in life.
The attenuated virus — lymphocytic ...

University of Missouri scientists are peering into the past and uncovering new clues about the early universe. Since light takes a long time to travel through space, they are now able to see how galaxies looked billions of years ago.
In a new study, the Mizzou researchers have discovered that spiral galaxies were more common in the early universe than previously thought.
“Scientists formerly believed most spiral galaxies developed around 6 to 7 billion years after the universe formed,” said Yicheng Guo, an associate professor in Mizzou’s ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — By combining forefront X-ray observations with state-of-the-art supercomputer simulations of the buildup of galaxies over cosmic history, researchers have provided the best modeling to date of the growth of the supermassive black holes found in the centers of galaxies. Using this hybrid approach, a research team led by Penn State astronomers derived a complete picture of black-hole growth over 12 billion years, from the Universe’s infancy at around 1.8 billion years old to now at 13.8 billion years old.
The research comprises two papers, ...

PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA [June 11, 2024] — New research in the June 2024 issue of JNCCN—Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network highlights a promising approach for alleviating distress, enhancing quality of life, improving physical function, and reducing fatigue in patients with blood cancers who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The study used a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility of a nine-week, phone-delivered, positive psychology program called Positive Affect for the Transplantation of ...

An awkward beat doesn't help on the dance floor, but it could help people who are recovering from mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Publishing online today (June 11, 2024) in the Journal of Neurotrauma, Virginia Tech scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC show that specifying the timing pattern of neurostimulation – impulses used to activate the brain’s own electrical signaling mechanisms – can rebalance the strength of synaptic connections between nerve cells, selectively up- or down-regulating those connections. While the timing pattern of electrical signaling is important in the normal brain, ...

UPTON, N.Y. — Efforts to achieve net-zero carbon emissions from transportation fuels are increasing demand for oil produced by nonfood crops. These plants use sunlight to power the conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide into oil, which accumulates in seeds. Crop breeders interested in selecting plants that produce a lot of oil look for yellow seeds. In oilseed crops like canola, yellow-seeded varieties generally produce more oil than their brown-seeded counterparts. The reason: The protein responsible for brown seed color — which yellow-seeded plants lack — also plays a key role in oil production.
Now, plant biochemists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven ...

URBANA, Ill. -- Following decades of decline, even fewer birds will darken North American skies by the end of the century, according to a new analysis by scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Their study is the first to examine the long-term effects of climate change on the abundance and diversity of bird groups across the continent as a whole while accounting for additional factors that put birds at risk, such as pesticides, pollution, land use change, and habitat loss.
“Many studies try to attribute causes like climate ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Haiku poems have reflected humans’ experiences in nature for hundreds of years, including observations of bugs and other wildlife. Recently, Penn State researchers analyzed which insects were mentioned the most in haiku — with butterflies, fireflies and singing insects such as crickets topping the list.
Haiku are three-line poems with five syllables in the first and third lines, and seven syllables in the second line.
In their study of nearly 4,000 haiku, recently published in the journal PLOS ONE, the researchers also found that aquatic arthropods — such as caddisflies, stoneflies and fishflies — were mentioned the ...

BUFFALO, NY- June 11, 2024 – A new editorial paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 10, entitled, “CCR4-NOT complex in stress resistance and longevity in C. elegans.”
The ability to mount an adaptive response to environmental stress is crucial in organismal survival and overall fitness. In the context of aging, many genes that mediate resistance to stressors are also important in longevity, and aging has been shown to cause ...
