Scientists solve the mystery of how predatory bacteria recognises prey - new research from Prof Liz Sockett Bdellovibrio Lab @UonLifeSci and Prof Andrew Lovering UoB Biosciences published Nature Microbiology Read more - ow.ly/F6Hy50QnNIZ

Hepatitis is on track to overtake TB as the world’s biggest infectious killer. 🦠 In the UK, screening is reserved for certain groups, Dr Will Irving, Professor of Immunology in UoN Life Sciences, explains more to The Telegraph ow.ly/KZCK50Rg0Gr

New research Bdellovibrio Lab UoN Life Sciences has found that a natural predatory bacteria is able to kill by delivering a ‘kiss of death, meaning it doesn’t have to live inside its prey to kill it, as previously thought - published Nature Communications - ow.ly/kuSR50RgVq0

Evolutionary biologists from the Universities of Nottingham, Heidelberg, and Prague studied the influence of whole genome duplication on the adaptive potential of plants in the face of rapid climate change. phys.org/news/2024-07-e…

Scientists at the University of Nottingham and George Mason University are studying a process called phenotypic plasticity, which allows animals to quickly and temporarily change their heat tolerance, and which could help them cope with climate change. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Tumor diversity leads to resistance against anti-cancer drugs. Researchers are exploring varied drug responses in lung cancer models, which will provide insights for treatments. biosignaling.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

We're pleased to share an exciting new blog post from Professor Luisa Martinez-Pomares, who talks about her research career in immunology and offers some insights and tips for early career scientists. bio-rad-antibodies.com/blog/insights-…

Dr Sian Bray, Prof. Levi Yant & collaborators have published on convergent evolution in response to adaptation to polyploidy. Convergence extends to aggressive gliomas in humans: the strongest selection signal is at CENP-E, a polyploid cancer target. cell.com/cell-reports/f…

A new study, led by Levi Yant 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸 UoN Life Sciences UoN Medicine and Health Sciences has shown that different plant species tackle the same evolutionary hurdle in different ways, and the findings may give insight into aggressive forms of cancer - published Cell Reports ow.ly/QyFV50SWPYy

On World Mosquito Day 2024 - @Ritatewari and her lab team UoN Life Sciences talk about why mosquitos pose more of a risk to the UK than we think, and why it is important that we find a way to prevent and control diseases spread by mosquitos #WorldMosquitoDay ow.ly/2WVg50T1kOn
