A new study has shown how planting hedges between roadsides and school playgrounds can reduce children's exposure to traffic-related particle pollution.

By developing an efficient way to compare all predicted protein structures in the AlphaFold database, researchers have revealed similarities between proteins across different species.

Ecologists have demonstrated that the genetic material that species shed into their environments can reveal not only the presence of the species but also a broad range of information about the genetics of whole populations.

A natural compound in many plants has been found to inhibit the growth of drug-resistant Candida fungi, including the most virulent species.

New research suggests that owls in Texas have high rates of anticoagulant rodenticides (AR) in their systems. The article assesses the anthropogenic risks faced by owls in Texas, an important region for migratory and non-migratory owls.

Lung-resident memory cells are critical for pulmonary immunity. The pathway by which they develop following influenza infection has now been identified.

When insects live in mercury-contaminated waterways, they can pass the metal along to the spiders that eat them. Researchers have demonstrated how some shoreline spiders can move mercury contamination from riverbeds up the food chain to land animals.

Researchers studying SARS-CoV-2 may have developed new methods to administer vaccines orally, which would be both easier to administer and more effective at combatting illnesses.
