A study has found that small genetic differences in fruit flies affected the flies’ ability to use the energy of various nutrients.

Researchers have identified a key regulator of the immune system and are looking to reveal how this protein is regulated to understand how cancer patients have different responses to immunotherapy.

Two studies have shown that degrading wastewater pollution through mechanical aeration emits less odorous compounds than intensive systems and that the use of biofilters filled with pruning and mud compost can minimize the odoriferous impact of treatment plants.

Scientists have demonstrated that bacteria are capable of regulating their gene expression to evade the numerous bacteriophages present in the gut environment in vivo, explaining the difference in phage therapy efficacy between in vitro and in vivo conditions.

Analysis of the metabolomic pathways used by Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus during infection has indicated that currently existing drug candidates could be used to treat Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever.

Two strains of the bacterium causing TB have only minor genetic differences but attack the lungs in a completely different way, according to researchers, which may explain why treatments work in some patients and not others.

New research from Cornell scientists is exploring how human genetics impacts functions of the gut microbiome, and is expanding awareness of the role human genetics plays in shaping the microbiome.

A roadmap that traces the steps of blood stem cell development in the human embryo has been created, which could help expand treatment options for blood cancers and disorders.

A new study has compared the rate of genetic mutation across 16 species and revealed that a species with a longer lifespan accumulates mutations at a slower rate.

New research from UNH peers into coral reef ecosystems with a novel approach to understanding the complex evolution of sponges and the microbes that live in symbiosis with them.
