Cognitive problems, often described as “brain fog,” are a recognized feature of long COVID, affecting attention, memory, and executive function. Earlier SARS-CoV-2 variants, including the original strain, Alpha and Delta, were associated with persistent cognitive deficits. However, the Omicron variant caused less severe disease, leaving uncertainty about whether cognitive decline ...
Communication between cells in plants, animals and humans takes place via specialised connecting structures. Researchers have discovered how the regulation of very similar structures was already present in multicellular bacteria.
Researchers identify a molecular mechanism that enables single-celled parasites to switch on the machinery they need to move and invade host cells.
Researchers have used mathematical modeling to explore how different interventions could work together to limit Mpox transmission. The model captures Mpox transmission dynamics across two interacting populations: humans and rodents.
New research identifies a single dominant gene, PsFwC9, which confers Fusarium wilt resistance in pea plants.
A bacterial protein fragment called corisin drives the process of pulmonary fibrosis by infiltrating and disrupting the cell’s quality-control system, researchers found in a new study. Meanwhile, blocking corisin with an antibody impeded the damage.

Scientists develop a database of validated guide RNAs to improve engineering of microbes for manufacturing applications.
A new recyclable system uses baker’s yeast to store H₂ in organic molecules and iron ions to release it when needed - offering a promising route toward more sustainable hydrogen production and storage.
Scientists have engineered yeasts that can simultaneously use different sugars in biomass crops.
An unexpected discovery about tRNAs leads to tool that can drive faster, safer production of new medicines.
Scientists develop a flexible living textile based on caterpillar fungus, which can be used to make self-colouring, self-cleaning and self-repairing clothes.
A new study investigates eBeam (electron beam) technology, demonstrating its ability to control food pathogens without jeopardising meat quality.
The research is focused on developing new strategies to combat two infectious diseases: catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) and invasive Group A Streptococcus skin infections, both of which are increasingly difficult to treat because of antimicrobial resistance.
Epidemiologist Jennifer Horney highlights the importance of vaccinations after the deaths of two Pennsylvania residents – the first measles deaths in the state in 35 years.
The Microbiologist gets to know our Global Ambassador for Jordan, Associate Prof. Dr. Luay Abu-Qatouseh of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, University of Petra.
