Deoxygenation can make large areas of the ocean uninhabitable. But new study offers new knowledge of how oxygen levels affect marine life – this may help us preserve marine ecosystems. “In the past 50 years, we have already lost an area the size of the EU due to deoxygenation,” researcher behind the study says.
Variants in the ATM, CHEK2 and PALB2 genes are collectively as prevalent as the much-reported BRCA1/2 gene mutations.
Researchers have developed a new clotting test that uses only a single drop of blood and a smartphone vibration motor and camera.
In this week’s Nature, the Dog Aging Project team outlines how the open-source data it's gathering could be useful for a myriad of studies.
The distribution of old and young species brings new insight into the speciation-extinction dynamics operating in global hotspots of biodiversity.
Findings explain how mutations allow the omicron variant to evade antibodies against previous variants yet remain so infectious.
A recent paper published by researchers from Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics (CEH) and collaborators on a strategic model of a host-microbe-microbe system not only reveals the importance of a joint host-microbe immune response to combat stress-induced gut dysbiosis but also reveals a remarkable interdisciplinary collaboration between two different EU projects coordinated by CEH.
A study cohort that received an oral supplement of a gut-produced compound had better endurance in two small exercises.
An artificial-intelligence system was designed to use EKG readings to track the stress of mothers and their fetuses in a recent study.
The antibody closely mimics the binding site that the SARS-CoV-2 virus uses to infect cells, and seemingly thwarts invasion via mutation.
The FDA has approved 28 of the more than 1,000 such diagnostics commercially available worldwide.
The third type of stem cells that make up the precursors of mouse embryos has been established for the first time
Simply turning up the heat can boost the regeneration of cuttings of thale cress
Patients seeking medication abortion care through telehealth services are just as satisfied, if not more so, with the service they received as patients who visited a clinical facility to receive care, according to a study published this month in Obstetrics & Gynecology.
A fluorescence microscopy study shows how amyloid fibrils in yeast are dismantled
The Evolutionary Morphology Laboratory led by Shigeru Kuratani at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) in Japan, along with collaborators has found evidence that the mysterious ancient fish-like vertebrate Palaeospondylus was likely one of the earliest ancestors of four-limbed animals, including humans.
A genomic study of a sustained, multidrug-resistant Shigellosis outbreak in Seattle enabled scientists to retrace its origin and spread.
A new method for single cells can rapidly determine the make-up of bacterial communities in the gut and environment
In January 2019, a seizure of 3.3 tons of ivory in Uganda turned up something surprising: markings on some of the tusks suggested that they may have been taken from a stockpile of ivory kept, it was thought, strictly under lock and key by the government of Burundi.
Light-induced changes in shape enable a pump in a marine bacterium to suck in chloride ions from seawater
