Restoring the 'Sutherland Nine' to their community
Scientists are rebuilding microbial natural products up to 100,000 years old using dental calculus of humans and Neanderthals
The Xiongnu dominated the Eurasian steppes two millennia ago and foreshadowed the rise of the Mongol Empire
A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques
Insects heavily rely on bacteria for essential nutrients that are lacking in their diet.
Scientists have sequenced the composer’s genome using five genetically matching hair locks
A human genome from the Ice Age refuge in southern Spain
MEDICATION Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and Statistics Denmark have analysed more than one billion prescriptions issued by general practitioners. In the long term, the analysis may help to optimise prescription trajectories, but there are still many things we do not know about the associations between diseases and treatment patterns, explains Professor Søren Brunak who has been in charge of the study.
Large-scale genomic analysis documents the migrations of Ice Age hunter-gatherers over a period of 30,000 years – they took shelter in Western Europe but died out on the Italian peninsula
A species of ordinary gut bacteria that we all carry flourishes when the intestinal flora is knocked out by a course of antibiotics.
Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2?
A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the ability of microorganisms to adapt to climate warming will slow down global warming by storing carbon in soil.
Understanding that others hold different viewpoints from your own is essential for human sociality. Adopting another person’s visual perspective is a complex skill that emerges around the age of two.
Recruiting osteoarthritis patients with a lot of pain to clinical studies, may give incorrect results if the researcher does account for the natural variation in pain that occurs.
New archaeogenetic data allow exciting insights into the social order of the Aegean Bronze Age
INEQUALITY In a new study conducted at the University of Copenhagen, data on more than 1.2 million Danish children show a clear connection between parents’ level of education and children’s risk of dying far too early. A main reason is social and family issues in childhood, the study concludes.
Research team analyzed genome-wide data for 33 Jewish individuals from 14th century Erfurt, Germany
The rare metal terbium has been found in an exoplanet’s atmosphere for the first time. The researchers at Lund University in Sweden have also developed a new method for analyzing exoplanets, making it possible to study them in more detail.
By studying green algae in Swedish lakes, a research team, led by Lund University in Sweden, has succeeded in identifying which environmental conditions promote multicellularity. The results give us new clues to the amazing paths of evolution.
