By tagging microscopic plastics with gold and palladium, researchers tracked how marine copepods absorb, excrete, and react to different plastic types in their food and water.
A ten-year study of Atlantic plankton reveals that while bans have reduced older pollutants, a fresh wave of plastic and tyre chemical substitutes has taken their place.
A warming planet and falling human body temperatures are closing the heat gap that protects us from dangerous fungi. As a result, the multidrug-resistant fungus Candida auris has breached our thermal defences.
Marine conservation hotspots change location completely depending on whether researchers tally total bird numbers or measure species diversity. A single location almost never protects both.
Combining lab DNA tools with Indigenous Ecological Knowledge builds fairer, stronger wildlife protection, but real success requires treating local groups as equal partners.
Genetic evidence from the deep Pacific Ocean shows that many microbes carry genes to make food from inorganic carbon using carbon monoxide and sulfur, rather than relying mainly on ammonia.
A study of warm-climate grasses reveals that leaf-dwelling fungi acquired from the air shape over a quarter of the plants' chemical profiles independently of plant genetics.
In pregnant mice with high blood sugar, embryos experience disrupted brain architecture because a key gene switch fails to keep cellular signals in check.
A lab screen revealed that knocking out a protein called RPS19 stops liver tumours from bribing immune cells into ignoring them. Targeted nanoparticles delivering gene-editing tools halted tumour growth in mice.
Marine macrogenomics pools genetic data from whole communities and ancient seabed sediments to predict how warming oceans will disrupt marine life.
