The current emoji library doesn’t accurately represent the “tree of life” and the breadth of biodiversity seen in nature according to an analysis presented December 11 in the journal iScience.
Reza Ovissipour, Ph.D., a Texas A&M AgriLife Research assistant professor in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Food Science and Technology, is actively contributing to solutions for the crucial food-related challenges of today — and tomorrow.
Viruses have limited genetic material—and few proteins—so all the pieces must work extra hard. Zika is a great example; the virus only produces 10 proteins.
Scientists from the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered one of nature’s most potent tool in an arsenal to combat today’s agricultural challenges: agro-microbials - or agro-chemicals of natural origin - that can enhance the synergy between crops and microbes, and ultimately improve crop yield and productivity.
UC San Diego scientists’ debut “reverse metabolomics,” a groundbreaking approach to advancing microbiome research. They use the technique to discover hundreds of new human molecules, and a new biomarker and therapeutic target for inflammatory bowel disease
Inspired by a small and slow snail, scientists have developed a robot protype that may one day scoop up microplastics from the surfaces of oceans, seas and lakes.
The safety of meat and meat products is a paramount concern in the food industry, due to the high risk of contamination by pathogenic microorganisms.
Incorporating navy beans into the diet of colorectal cancer survivors has the potential to positively impact both gut and host health by modulating markers linked to obesity and disease, according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Artificial helical microswimmers with shape-morphing capabilities and adaptive locomotion are promising for precision medicine and noninvasive surgery. However, current fabrication methods are slow and limited.
A new bacterial species discovered at the deep-sea hydrothermal vent site ‘Crab Spa’ provides a deeper understanding of bacterial evolution.
New findings from researchers at University of California San Diego shed light on why bacterial vaginosis, a common and seemingly benign condition of the vaginal microbiome, is linked to pregnancy loss, preterm birth and other health complications.
Hospital germs and pathogens are not always transmitted directly from person to person. They can also spread via germ-contaminated surfaces and objects.
Messenger bubbles produced by human cells can pick up bacterial products and deliver them to other cells, University of Connecticut researchers report in the Nov. 16 issue of Nature Cell Biology.
Unexpected model was suggested by the scientist of The Federal Research Centre “Fundamentals of Biotechnology” of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Research Center of Biotechnology RAS).
Researchers tease apart the relationships between bacterial languages
Stay informed! Keep up with the latest research on the COVID-19 virus in the Coronavirus channel on Newswise.
Zymo Research sponsors a symposium on wastewater research to promote standardization of wastewater surveillance and showcase its innovative solutions.
Microbial communities are thought to contain keystone species, which can disproportionately affect the stability of the communities, even if only present in low abundances. Identifying these keystone species can be challenging, especially in the human gut, since it is not feasible to isolate them through systematic elimination.
