When we're short on freshwater in dry areas, farmers often turn to salty groundwater. But, what does this do to our soil and the tiny critters living in it over the long term? Researchers took a close look at a goji berry field split in two—one watered with salty groundwater and the other with surfa
Scientists in China have been digging into a tough puzzle: how a certain type of bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has learned to resist multiple antibiotics. This sneaky microbe, often found in Nanning, can now shrug off drugs that were once fatal to it. By studying its molecular characteristics an
Scientists in Türkiye have found something amazing in breast milk. They discovered four new strains of a bacteria called Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. These tiny helpers might be our new allies in the fight against colon cancer. First, let's talk about their superpowers. These bacteria can survive
Did you know that our brains are super good at picking up on patterns in colors around us? Even when we're not really paying attention! Scientists wanted to see if learning these color patterns affects how quickly we spot something out of the ordinary. They did experiments where people had to find a

Primary spinal cord glioblastomas (GBMs) are unusual types of tumors that have unique traits compared to other spinal cord tumors and brain GBMs. Even though they aren't common, their rapid growth and tough treatment outcomes make them important to understand. This study looks into the medical and p
In bamboo forests, traditional farming methods often involve heavy use of fertilizers and flooding for irrigation. This approach, known as conventional management (CM), has been linked to soil acidification and a decrease in the variety of soil bacteria. Scientists have been exploring a new method c
Inside our bodies, there's something called the circadian clock. It's like a tiny timekeeper that controls our daily rhythms and interacts with our environment. When we talk about infection, it can change how these 'clock' genes work. In zebrafish, this is affected by light. Scientists wanted to see
