Northwestern University researchers have identified structural features in engineered cell receptors that correlate with variations in receptor function.

British physician and microbiologist Alexander Fleming, discoverer of penicillin nearly 100 years ago, was the first to warn of the dangers of antibiotic resistance.

In a rugged stretch of desert in one of the nation's most remote national parks, a volunteer's eyes were caught by a colorful sight sprouting up from the beige and brown of the Chihuahuan Desert—"devil"-ish blooms, flowers like bright red horn

A University of Queensland-led team has completed one of the most comprehensive surveys of Australia's subtropical rainforests to document how climate dictates what species thrive in different locations. The work is published in the journal Ecology Lette

In an effort to monitor biodiversity trends, greater efforts are being made worldwide to assess biodiversity patterns over large scales. To do this, scientists rely on species distribution models (SDMs), which make predictions of species' geographical ra

Citizen scientists are drawing on personal experience to help researchers create new plant-based fermented foods and maximize their health benefits.

Powdery mildew is a destructive fungal disease of barley that can result in crop losses of up to 40%. To protect themselves from powdery mildew, barley has evolved a series of immune receptors that each recognize matching, strain-specific powdery mildew p

The clownfish-anemone living arrangement is one of the most widely recognized examples of symbiosis. Researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding how anemonefish can live safely among sea anemones without being stung by their venomous tentacles,

New research has resulted in the first high-resolution molecular picture of the equine endometrium—the inner lining of the uterus—before and after embryo implantation. This picture, or cell atlas, highlights key similarities in immune cells between early

A study led by a team of researchers at the University of Kentucky's Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment has revealed a surprising biochemical connection between plant immune responses and human neurological health.

The extinction of the largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have played a critical role in creating an environment that helped fruits evolve, thereby indirectly shaping the evolution of our own fruit-eating ancestors, according to new research.

Scientists with the National Audubon Society published research in Nature Ecology & Evolution that will help inform global efforts to protect migratory birds. In the study, "Multispecies migratory connectivity indicates hemispheric-scale risk to
