An AI tool has made a step forward in translating the language proteins use to dictate whether they form sticky clumps similar to those linked to Alzheimer's disease and around fifty other types of human disease. In a departure from typical "black-b

New research led by Monterey Bay Aquarium reveals a surprising ripple effect in coastal ecosystems: the collapse of one marine predator can benefit another.

The number of species does not increase evenly when going from local ecosystems to continental scales—a phenomenon ecologists have recognized for decades. Now, an international team of scientists, including researchers from the German Center for Integrati

A type of virus thought to be a "mere curiosity" is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a Monash University-led research team has found.

Bio-batteries constructed by electroactive microorganisms have unique advantages in physiological monitoring, tissue integration, and powering implantable devices due to their superior adaptability and biocompatibility. However, the development of miniatu

The ability to quickly recognize sounds, particularly the vocalizations made by other animals, is known to contribute to the survival of a wide range of species. This ability is supported by a process known as categorical perception, which entails the tra

South Asia, home to some of the vulnerable agricultural regions, is already experiencing the harsh impacts of climate change. Rising temperatures and erratic rainfall are particularly affecting the rain-fed farming systems in Nepal, India, and Bangladesh,

A research team has uncovered a previously unknown type of immune signaling molecule—a novel compound combining histidine and ADP-ribose—produced by bacteria's Thoeris II defense system in response to viral infection. This finding expands our understandi

A new study led by James Cook University Senior Research Officer and Lecturer, and University of New South Wales Ph.D. candidate, Hillary Smith, has examined the effectiveness of coral seeding devices to help corals survive in warming oceans.

Researchers have identified two natural compounds, patulin and xestoquinol, as new inhibitors of the enzyme topoisomerase 1, a key element in the correct functioning of DNA. The finding, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, op

In an article published in Molecular Plant on April 8, researchers led by Prof. Wang Bing and Prof. Li Jiayang from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed an innovative concept of

When piglets don't get enough milk in the first weeks of life, the chances of them thriving dramatically decline. In the U.S. pork production system, piglets with limited access to their mothers' milk are typically "cross-fostered" with other
