Impact of khat (Catha edulis) and oral contraceptive use on telomerase levels and tumor suppressor genes p53 and p21 in normal subjects and breast cancer patients.

Study found OC use, khat chewing increase telomerase, p53, p21 in breast cancer patients. OCs increase telomerase in controls. Khat chewing is protective. Combination decreases telomerase risk in BC patients.

Variations in water use efficiency and carbon and nitrogen concentrations in red heart Chinese fir.

They studied how temperature affects plant growth in Chinese Fir by analyzing water use efficiency (WUE) and organic nutrient concentrations. WUE varied between leaves and branches, decreasing with age, but increasing with height and SPEI. This research can help optimize plantation management in response to changing climate conditions.
