A multinational study involving researchers from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) has investigated the alignment of global water models and their consistency with observational data. Global water models play a crucial role in comprehending the water cycle and assessing the impacts of climate change, particularly in understanding phenomena like increased droughts and […]
Salk researchers have made a significant breakthrough in understanding and potentially treating peripheral neuropathy, a condition affecting over 3 million people in the United States annually. This condition damages nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, causing pain and loss of sensation due to factors such as diabetes, injuries, genetic diseases, and infections. The study, […]
In a recent study published in Science, led by evolutionary biologist Andreas Wagner from the University of Zurich, researchers delved into the evolving landscape of E. coli bacteria and its implications for antibiotic resistance. The team experimentally mapped over 260,000 potential mutations of an E. coli protein vital for its survival against the antibiotic trimethoprim. […]
