Diverse Legume Defence Signals and Clustered Receptors Co-Evolved from Conserved Subtilase Scaffolds
A hidden network of plant peptide hormones may be giving legumes a far more sophisticated immune system than scientists previously recognized. In a study published...
Global genomic surveillance reveals emerging WHO-priority antibiotic resistance patterns in invasive Salmonella
Salmonella infections are often associated with contaminated food, but the most dangerous cases begin when the bacterium escapes the intestine and enters the bloodstream or...
Nutrition Management at 22–23 Weeks: Evidence Gaps Remain
A new review in Pediatric Research is drawing attention to one of the most difficult questions in modern neonatal medicine: how to provide safe and...
Native microbes restore acidic soils while boosting crop growth
Acidic soils may have found an unlikely ally: communities of bacteria collected from the very environments that make farming difficult. In a new experimental study,...
AI uncovers elemental clues behind persistent free radicals in biochar
Biochar may look like little more than charcoal, but inside its carbon-rich structure it can harbor chemically active species that persist long after production. A...
New imaging method sees through deep tissue, dense fog, and other barriers
A new imaging technology developed by researchers at the University of Rochester could make it possible to see more clearly through deep tissue, dense fog,...
Experts warn AHRQ cuts threaten US healthcare quality and patient safety
A federal health agency that quietly underpins some of the United States’ most important patient-safety protections is facing a crisis that researchers say could reverberate...
Last common ancestor may have climbed vertically, regardless of limb structure
COLUMBUS, Ohio—The last common ancestor shared by humans and chimpanzees may have looked less like a modern ape than many scientists have assumed, but it...
SUNY Poly Receives $15K Health Forward Foundation Grant for Respiratory Care Research
SUNY Polytechnic Institute has received a $15,000 grant from the Health Forward Foundation to develop a physiologically realistic mechanical lung model, a project designed to...
Patient-specific blood–brain tumor barrier chip predicts glioblastoma treatment responses
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat brain cancers, yet its response to therapy can vary dramatically from one patient to another. A...
Natural leaf coatings could help hydrochar store carbon more effectively
Hydrochar, a carbon-rich material made by processing wet plant biomass in hot, pressurized water, may have a hidden defense system that helps it resist chemical...
Severe mental illness tied to higher dementia risk and earlier strokes
A large analysis of health records from Catalonia, Spain, has found that people living with severe mental illness face substantially higher recorded rates of dementia...
Scientists Develop Real-Time Control Systems for Engineered Biology
