According to murine research, microplastic exposure induced both behavioral changes and alterations in immune markers in liver and brain tissues. The exposed mice also began exhibiting behaviors akin to dementia in humans.

White-tailed deer across Ohio have been infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, and the results also show that viral variants evolve about three times faster in deer than in humans.

A study found treatments that reduce the risk of being diagnosed with a cancer recurrence based on rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after radiotherapy do not necessarily improve a patient’s long-term overall survival.

A team of researchers is designing novel systems to capture water vapour in the air and turn it into liquid. They have developed sponges or membranes with a large surface area that continually capture moisture from their surrounding environment.

To improve battery performance and production, Penn State researchers and collaborators have developed a new fabrication approach that could make for more efficient batteries that maintain energy and power levels.

Using a new genetic screening technique, researchers have discovered how to transform rhabdomyosarcoma cells into muscle cells with no cancer attributes.

Researchers have shown that a species of fungus that normally grows in the wild and kills insects can be successfully inoculated in oilseed rape plants where it fosters a unique symbiotic relationship.

Researchers have discovered that oil-degrading bacteria, widely found in the ocean, grow around oil droplets forming dense communities at the oil-water interface.

In recent decades, a concerning rise in metabolic illnesses – such as cardiovascular disease, and diabetes – has focused scientific attention on the biology and chemistry of fat, resulting in a wealth of information about how fat cells work.

When organisms pass their genes on to future generations, they include more than the code spelled out in DNA. Some also pass along chemical markers that instruct cells how to use that code.
