Climate change will affect economies of all countries — rich or poor, hot or cold — under the business-as-usual carbon emissions scenario, researchers say (1). And will likely result in
Plastics not only pollute oceans and land, and even animals, but new research shows microplastic contamination in the atmosphere – and indeed, the air we breathe. And microplastics are also
Tropical coral reefs are “in jeopardy” unless we take drastic actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to a landmark study on how to save coral reefs in the Indian
A bacterium from the ancient archaea lineage — single-celled organisms with no nucleus — could help explain how simple microbes evolved into more sophisticated eukaryotes. Scientists have now successfully cultured
This year, the Arctic is experiencing the worst wildfires on record, with massive blazes in Greenland, Siberia and Alaska. And the frequency of wildfires around the world is expected to
Fish are undergoing rapid evolutionary changes due to intense harvesting, according to a new paper published on 2 August in Science (1). And as a result, becoming less resilient to
More than 11 million healthy childhood life years are lost to treatment-related ill-health and disability and fatal cancer, according to the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) to assess childhood
Scientists have discovered a new type of liver cell called the hepatobiliary hybrid progenitor (HHyP) that may be able to regenerate the liver. These progenitors — stem-cell-like cells — are
Artificial proteins transform ordinary cells into smart cells with ‘limitless potential’
The first completely artificial designer proteins have potentially opened up the door to a new era of precision cell therapies. Using a novel plug-and-play approach, scientists can achieve precise control
