Antibiotics prevent snails from forming new memories by disrupting their gut microbiome -- the community of beneficial bacteria found in their guts.

Research work on symbiosis -- a mutually beneficial relationship between living organisms -- is pushing back against the newer theory of a single-origin of root nodule symbiosis (RNS) -- that all symbiosis between plant root nodules and nitrogen-fixing bacteria stems from one point--instead suggesting a multiple-origin theory of sybiosis which opens a better understanding for genetically engineering crops.

This study is led by Dr. Shuyang Yu (College of Biological Sciences, China Agricultural University), Dr. Jingyu Xu (The Collaborative Innovation Center of Tissue Damage Repair and Regeneration Medicine of Zunyi Medical University) and Dr. Xuguang Du (College of Biological Sciences, China Agricultural University) and illustrated the key role of Mettl3 in CD8 T cell response during acute infection model.

A groundbreaking study led by Professor Sebyung Kang and Professor Sung Ho Park in the Department of Biological Sciences at UNIST has unveiled a remarkable breakthrough in cancer treatment.

An ongoing multi-city wastewater surveillance study by TIGS, Bengaluru found that the JN.1 Covid-19 variant is the predominant strain in Bengaluru's w

Food virologists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have successfully propagated the human norovirus using zebrafish embryos, providing a valuable

Climate change is melting glaciers and creating new salmon habitat in the Taku, Stikine and Unuk rivers — but being staked for gold mining

Human norovirus can be propagated in zebrafish embryos, which can assess the effectiveness of virus inactivation for food and water treatment industries.
