Phys.org / How bacteria exploit human cell metabolism to sharpen infections and potentially evade treatment
A research team at the University of Greifswald's Research Training Group RTG-PRO "Proteases in pathogen and host: importance in infection and inflammation" has discovered a new mechanism by which bacterial pathogens adjust ...
Medical Xpress / Why don't some people get vaccinated? It's more complicated than you think
When vaccination rates drop—as is the case with adult influenza vaccinations in Canada and child measles vaccinations in British Columbia—the explanation is often that people are "hesitant."
Phys.org / New method enables accurate sequencing of short peptides hidden in food and human body
Our food and our bodies are full of tiny protein fragments called peptides. These small chains of amino acids act as biological messengers, influencing processes ranging from sensory perception to physiological functions.
Phys.org / RNA barcoding approach reveals previously unknown virus–host relationships
An interdisciplinary team of Rice University researchers has uncovered previously unknown relationships between bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—and their bacterial hosts, offering a powerful new tool for next-generation ...
Medical Xpress / New anticancer vaccine shows early success in targeting neuroblastoma
A new study from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences demonstrates a novel approach in anticancer vaccine development. The results, published in Molecular Therapy Oncology, present the first preclinical evidence ...
Phys.org / Global map reveals one-third of coral reefs may resist climate shocks
In the crystalline waters off Kenya's coast, coral reefs are thriving—evidence of a rare good-news story in the battle to protect oceans from the ravages of climate change.
Phys.org / New research finds major gaps between EU anti-deforestation rules and realities on the ground in Brazil
The U.K. could face significant challenges if it follows the European Union's lead and introduces tougher restrictions on imports linked to deforestation, according to new research from The University of Manchester. The study ...
Phys.org / Scientists finalize H5 bird flu findings from Heard Island and McDonald Island voyages
Australian Antarctic Program scientists are contributing to global understanding of the spread of H5 avian influenza (bird flu) with the release of findings from recent voyages to the remote sub-Antarctic Heard Island and ...
Phys.org / Did Neanderthals use rhinoceros teeth as tools?
The RINO project was born from the discovery of unusual marks on rhinoceros teeth recovered from the prehistoric Payre site in France's Rhône Valley. The study of fossil rhinoceros teeth from this Middle Paleolithic site, ...
Medical Xpress / AI-guided ultrasound improves blood–brain barrier opening procedures by predicting bubble collapse
A study led by Georgia Institute of Technology's Associate Professor Costas Arvanitis takes a major step toward safer and more effective treatment and diagnosis of brain diseases. His team's research, published in Advanced ...
Phys.org / Researchers publish first complete connectome of fruit fly brain and 'spinal cord'
In a first, a large, international team led by multiple labs at Harvard Medical School and Princeton University has published a complete wiring diagram of all the connections between neurons in the central nervous system ...
Medical Xpress / MRI study finds evidence of ongoing neurodegeneration in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the central nervous system, especially the optic nerves and spinal cord. These attacks, also known as flare-ups ...
