Researchers led by King’s, Karolinska Institute and Erasmus University have identified 10 new genes linked with hearing loss and located the part of the ear affected.

Scientists have shown that elevated heavy metal levels in rivers can lead to higher levels of antibiotic resistance.

Researchers at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) have created a new disease model that has contributed to a better understanding of Bloom syndrome and the sex determination processes of zebrafish.

Competition between "good" and pathogenic bacteria for energy sources confers protection against some strains of illness-causing bacteria.

A new experimental pipeline has been developed to profile more cell types from different tissues, incorporating machine learning to collate the data and assemble the cell atlas.

The stinging cells of sea anemones and jellyfish could be used as a model for understanding how new cell types evolve.

A novel species of bacteria has been discovered in onions in Texas, but the prevalence and distribution of the pathogen are still unknown.

Researchers have equipped gut bacteria with data loggers to monitor which genes are active in the bacteria. These microorganisms could one day offer a noninvasive means of diagnosing disease or assessing the impact of a diet on health.

For 30 years, scientists have debated the underlying cause of Gulf War illness. Now, through a detailed genetic study, the nerve gas sarin has been shown to be largely responsible for the syndrome.

A new study published in the journal Cell shows that the first farmers actually represented a mixture of Ice Age hunter-gatherer groups, spread from the Near East all the way to south-eastern Europe.
