Researchers tested sediment and deep-sea fish samples for a large suite of DDT-related chemicals and found at least 10 of these harmful chemicals present in their samples...
Researchers have developed new technology called “proactive vaccinology” that can protect against a broad range of coronaviruses – including ones that have not been identified yet. In mice, the new vaccine raised a broad immune response, even for those who were pre-immunized with SARS-CoV-2. With a ...
The transition from the African Humid Period (AHP) to dry conditions in North Africa is the clearest example of climate tipping points in recent geological history.

A new study shows that exhaled breath may be a promising alternative to blood for TDM of antibiotics.
In the current study, to reliably reconstruct the biology of extinct species, researchers examined multiple lines of evidence, including skeletal anatomy, bone histology, the behavior of living relatives, and trace fossils.
