El Nino, which means the water temperature increases near the equator, causes unexpected heavy rain and drought, due to the warming tide that can weaken the trade winds. Studies have shown that this phenomenon affects the carbon cycle that helps maintain the Earth’s ecosystem However, recently, it has been revealed that human-generated greenhouse gases have led to more interaction. In particular, it has been suggested that this amplified El Nino could significantly reduce the Amazon’s ability to absorb carbon.Professor Kug Jong-seong (SEE), Kim Jin-soo (SEE, Ph.D Candidate), and Jeong Su-jong,

The type of treatment for breast cancer is decided by whether it is positive to estrogen, progesterone, or a type of cell membrane protein, HER2 receptor. However, if all are negative, it is hard to treat and is called a triple-negative cancer.
