Chimpanzees are genetically adapted to local habitats and infections such as malaria

Friendly germs armed with their own biological syringes and poisons could hold the key to overcoming the antimicrobial resistance crisis, according to a new study by biologists at the Universities of Manchester and Basel. The study of special bacteria, which have evolved nanoscopic syringes -Type 6 Secretion Systems (T6SSs) - that inject cocktails of deadly toxins into rival microorganisms, is published today in the journal PNAS.

A series of more than 100 small earthquakes in Surrey in 2018 and 2019 might have been triggered by oil extraction from a nearby well, suggests a new study by UCL researchers.

A new study has found that the composition of your gut microbiome helps predict how likely you are to succumb to potentially life-threatening infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae, E.coli and other bugs - and it may be altered by changing your diet.

Scientists have developed a new mathematical model to help people understand the risks posed by AI and assist regulators in protecting privacy.
