Geology: Antarctica’s Blood Falls reveals an ancient marine community

2026-08-03T12:00:00+01:00

Salty water flowing through Antarctica’s Blood Falls contains a distinct community of marine-specific microorganisms, providing evidence that the brine system beneath the glacier has a marine origin.

Two deadly flowers have big medical potential

2026-08-03T11:57:00+01:00

Two plants that cause neurotoxicity and paralysis in the tiniest doses are also known to counter pain, malaria, cancer and pests. For the first time, researchers have discovered a way to recreate these powerful compounds in the lab - with the help of yeast.

The amino acid arginine helps the body fight tumors and viral infections

2026-08-03T11:50:00+01:00

Scientists have discovered that an arginine-deficient diet impacts the immune system by stalling the production of the MHC-1 protein, which alerts the immune system to dangers such as a mutating cell or an invading virus.

New discovery could hold key to making microbes more resistant towards industrial processes

2026-08-03T11:43:00+01:00

In the bacterium Pseudomonas putida, the membrane protein CrcB pumps harmful fluoride ions out of the cells. Researchers investigated how P. putida adapts to a fluoride-containing environment, when it is deprived of the ability to produce the CrcB protein.
