A study has used a warming experiment to investigate the network of microbial interactions in soils. The findings show that microbes might interact with each other in more complex ways when soil is warmer. This would suggest stronger, more robust networks may develop in the face of climate change.

Research has shown that levels of neurotransmitters in the brain can predict maths ability.

A research team has performed the first-ever genome-wide association study of Latino Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, marking an important step towards more inclusive PD genetic research.

Researchers from the University of Portsmouth tested a theory that microplastics covered in a layer of microbes, were more likely to be ingested by oysters than microplastics that were clean.

Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center and Heidelberg University Hospital have for the first time been able to delay the development of hereditary colorectal cancer with a protective vaccination. Mice with a hereditary predisposition to colorectal cancer survived significantly longer after vaccination than unvaccinated animals.

A study shows that plant duplication events have been important throughout the evolutionary history of gymnosperms, a diverse group of seed plants. The research indicates that a genome duplication in the ancestor of modern gymnosperms might have directly contributed to the origin of the group over 350 million years ago.

The fruit fly has multiple taste organs throughout its body to detect chemicals known as tastants, that signal whether a food is palatable or harmful.

Researchers have found that the virus responsible for the common cold triggers an innate immune response that seems to block SARS-CoV-2 replication in cells of the respiratory tract.

Researchers have designed a model to predict how drug resistance evolves in response to different antibiotic combinations, doses and sequences.

Messages emphasizing the personal health benefits of COVID-19 vaccines have the best chance of increasing vaccination levels across the nation, according to research conducted by University of Wyoming economists.
