New research finds that the Colorado potato beetle has evolved resistance to more than 50 different kinds of insecticides by turning to a deep pool of diversity within its genome.

Treating babies with antibiotics in the first week of life is linked with a decrease in healthy bacteria necessary amongst others to digest milk and an increase in antimicrobial resistance, research suggests.

A post-transcriptional modification to mRNA can protect the mRNA from virus-mediated degradation in Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection.

Researchers describe a new platform they’ve developed that enables protein circuits to release the proteins from the cell or display them on the cell surface. This is a step closer to cell-to-cell communication in protein circuits, which has been a drawback for the field previously.

A research team has used a new method called optical genome mapping to obtain more accurate information on different types of leukemia.

A mechanism has been found that allows Legionella pneumophila to target the immune response of the cells it infects by secreting a small regulatory RNA, facilitating its survival and proliferation.

Researchers have mapped the human gut at a greater resolution than before, showing how cell types differ across regions of the intestines and shedding light on cellular functions.

Synthetic biologists have developed a low-cost, easy-to-use, hand-held device that can let users know if their water is safe to drink within minutes.

Researchers have highlighted a specific gene that drives vision impairment, and have suggested that suppressing the protein encoded by this gene may be an avenue for treating genetic blindness.

Now, a new study identifies common genetic factors in both depression and AD. Importantly, the researchers found that depression played a causal role in AD development, and those with worse depression experienced a faster decline in memory.
