Published Bone loss drugs can help azoles fight fungal infections



A new study suggests that adding common bone loss drugs to azoles can improve efficacy when treating fungal infections.
Published New method of DNA testing: Expanding scientific innovation



A team of researchers has developed a new method for target DNA sequence amplification, testing and analysis.
Published Unlocking the world around us for next-gen antibiotics



An international research team has found almost a million potential sources of antibiotics in the natural world.
Published Myelination in the brain may be key to 'learning' opioid addiction



Scientists have found that the process of adaptive myelination, which helps the brain learn new skills, can also promote addiction to opioids.
Published 'Missing' early sea sponges discovered



Geobiologists reported a 550 million-year-old sea sponge that had been missing from the fossil record. The discovery sheds new light on a conundrum that has stumped zoologists and paleontologists for years.
Published Fruit fly brain shows how simple commands turn into complex behaviors



Researchers have discovered how networks of neurons in fruit flies transform simple brain signals into coordinated actions. This sheds light on the neural mechanisms underlying complex behaviors for potential application in robotics.
Published New technique reveals how gene transcription is coordinated in cells



Researchers invented a technique that allows them to observe which genes and enhancers are active in a cell at the same time. This could help them determine which enhancers control which genes and may reveal potential new drug targets for genetic disorders.
Published Father's diet before conception influences children's health



A recent study provides new insights into how fathers' diets and overweight can affect their children's health even before conception. The findings of the study can help develop preventive health measures for men wishing to become fathers: The healthier the father's diet, the lower the risk for their children to develop obesity or diseases such as diabetes later in life.
Published Accelerating the R&D of wearable tech: Combining collaborative robotics, AI



Engineers have developed a model that combines machine learning and collaborative robotics to accelerate the design of aerogel materials used in wearable heating applications.
Published Exercising during pregnancy normalizes eating behaviors in offspring from obese mice



Maternal obesity impacts the eating behaviors of offspring via long-term overexpression of the microRNA miR-505-5p, according to a new study.
Published Giant viruses found on Greenland ice sheet



Giant viruses found on the Greenland ice sheet probably regulate the growth of snow algae on the ice by infecting them. Knowing how to control these viruses could help us reduce the rate of ice-melt.
Published Exploring three frontiers in marine biomass and blue carbon capture



A new study offers first-time insights into three emerging climate innovations to safeguard or increase the carbon naturally captured by ocean and coastal ecosystems: rapid interventions to save the Great Barrier Reef, satellite-tracked kelp beds in the deep ocean, and seagrass nurseries in the United Kingdom.
Published Human activity contributed to woolly rhinoceros' extinction



Researchers have discovered sustained hunting by humans prevented the woolly rhinoceros from accessing favourable habitats as Earth warmed following the Last Ice Age.
Published Small, but smart: How symbiotic bacteria adapt to big environmental changes



Lucinid clams, inconspicuous inhabitants of the seafloor and one of the most diverse group of animals in the ocean, rely on symbiotic bacteria for their survival. Researchers now reveal the evolutionary journey of these tiny tenants. Faced with a drastically changing environment following the closure of the Isthmus of Panama, they acquired new metabolic skills to enable their own survival. Understanding the adaptive strategies of bacteria provides insight into their potential responses to challenging environmental changes, such as those caused by human activities.
Published Tin toughens bioimplant titanium alloys through the cocktail effect



Previous research has demonstrated that adding tin to beta-type titanium alloys improves their strength. But scientists have yet to understand the reasons for this. Now, a research team has pinpointed the exact mechanisms behind this phenomenon.
Published Towards next-gen functional materials: direct observation of electron transfer in solids



Nanoscale electron transfer (ET) in solids is fundamental to the development of multifunctional materials. However, ET in solids is not yet clearly understood. Now, researchers achieved a direct observation of solid-state ET through X-ray crystal analysis by fabricating a novel double-walled non-covalent crystalline nanotube, which can absorb electron donor molecules and maintain its crystalline structure during ET. This innovative approach can lead to the design of novel functional materials soon.
Published Age and sex-related changes leave female flies vulnerable to delayed harm from head injury



A research team using a fruit fly model has discovered that even very mild, non-lethal head injuries early in life can lead to neurodegenerative conditions later in life upon aging.
Published Observing ultrafast photoinduced dynamics in a halogen-bonded supramolecular system



Researchers uncover how the halogen bond can be exploited to direct sequential dynamics in the multi-functional crystals, offering crucial insights for developing ultrafast-response times for multilevel optical storage.
Published Innovative demand strategies for clean energy



A perspective piece describes innovative strategies that significantly reduce both resource consumption and fossil fuel emissions.
Published New light shed on circadian rhythms



Circadian clocks, which drive circadian rhythms, are entwined with many essential systems in living things including plants, fungi, insects, and even humans. Because of this, disruptions to our circadian clocks are linked to higher disease rates in humans, including certain cancers and autoimmune diseases.
