Rapid-urbanization - a serious threat to environment

We’re squeezing more and more out of our livestock, to maximize food production. We breed cows that produce more milk, and use gene editing to boost animal growth. Could we use the same methods to make our food production more sustainable? And should we?

Researchers increased yield in soy plants by making them better at photosynthesis, the process that powers life. The findings hold promise for feeding a warming world.

A multidisciplinary team of researchers led by Duke University will undertake an ambitious endeavor to understand and improve the microbial communities that inhabit the structures in which we live, work and play — what scientists call the “built environment.”

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a gene therapy for a rare blood disease, which is set to cost a record $2.8 million for a single dose.

There is little appreciation in Pakistan for the centrality of science in every modern economic pursuit. Pervez Hoodbhoy deplores

Havana, Aug 13 (Prensa Latina) Talking about science in Cuba requires endless pages with a beginning dedicated to the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, who would be 96 years old on Saturday.

Researchers injected rat stem cells in infertile mice embryos which, when matured, produced morphologically indistinguishable rat sperm.

New $26 million center will work to understand and engineer the microbiomes in our homes, workspaces and other built environments

In partnership with BGI Genomics from China, Serbia's first genome sequencing center, opened in December 2021, is monitoring potential virus mutations to facilitate more effective COVID-19 control and accelerating access to genomics to enhance health outcomes.
