NewsRising sea levels could lead to more methane emitted from wetlands
A low-salinity Bay Area estuary ecosystem is producing higher-than-expected levels of methane.
-
NewsExperiment shows how predator mass mortality events affect food webs
A team of biologists experimentally caused a predator die-off to understand how rapid predator deaths affect freshwater ecosystems.
-
NewsResearchers share up to $13.6 million to solve maritime challenge
Researchers are working on a more sustainable alternative to antifouling paint that would employ natural marine microbes as “building blocks” to form smooth, stable biofilms that reduce drag.

NewsUnzipping mRNA rallies plant cells to fight infection
Scientists studying a plant called Arabidopsis thaliana have discovered short snippets of folded RNA that are unzipped in the presence of a pathogen to allow plant cells to make defense proteins to fight infection.
-
NewsBiological clocks of people and malaria parasites tick in tune
Research could pave the way to new anti-malarials that work by ’jet-lagging’ the parasites that cause the disease.
-
NewsWarming climate could turn plankton microbes into carbon emitters
New research finds that a warming climate could flip globally abundant microbial communities from carbon sinks to carbon emitters, potentially triggering climate change tipping points.
-
NewsClinical trial of mRNA universal influenza vaccine candidate begins
A clinical trial of an experimental universal influenza vaccine, H1ssF-3928 mRNA-LNP, has begun enrolling volunteers to test for safety and its ability to induce an immune response.
-
NewsViruses may disrupt carbon cycle in warming world
Scientists describe many different ways that increasing temperatures could affect viruses and their microbial hosts, changes that could ultimately affect the responses of whole ecosystems to warming.
-
NewsPreviously unknown intracellular electricity may power biology
Newly discovered electrical activity within cells could change the way researchers think about biological chemistry
