Pairing intravenous antibiotics with a drug that protects gut microbes from exposure to them may hinder the emergence of drug-resistant bacterial infections in hospitals.
A study in mice provides insights on the processes that determine which sperm will reach an egg to fertilise it, a discovery that may aid infertility research.
Findings reveal the early events that take place during tuberculosis infection, and provide a model for future research into respiratory and other infections.
New findings suggest sex-specific differences in mice vary by physical and physiological features – a fact that must be considered when designing biological and medical studies.
Scientists have used high-resolution GPS tracking methods to provide new insights into how differently sized animal groups move and interact with their environment.
Scientists have overturned an accepted theory in plant science by showing that plants can photosynthesise in the absence of the pigment beta-carotene, paving the way for redesigning photosynthesis to improve crop productivity.
Transparent soil substitutes can be used to study the interactions of bacteria and fungi in the soil, which may enable scientists to learn more about how soil microbes contribute to a healthy ecosystem.
