The global expansion of chicken farming has created conditions that allow Campylobacter to spread, mix and adapt more readily. Commercial poultry farms now hold billions of chickens, creating a vast habitat where bacteria can move, mix and adapt. An analysis from the Ineos Oxford Institute for Antimicrobial Research at the University of Oxford found that […]

Honeybee Queens May Pass Toxic Chemicals to the Next Generation
Study reveals how contamination can increase within colonies. Inside a honeybee colony, worker bees act as living filters. They intercept much of the pesticide contamination entering the hive, helping shield the queen and the developing young she produces. But when exposure continues and that protective system begins to fail, the queen may redirect the chemical […]
This Common Amino Acid May Help the Body Fight Cancer and Viruses
A shortage of one common nutrient could help cancer cells and viruses hide from the immune system. Researchers at Rockefeller University found that a shortage of arginine, an amino acid obtained from food and produced by the body, can interrupt the cellular machinery needed to make MHC-I proteins. These proteins act as a surveillance system, […]
Schizophrenia’s Brain Damage May Start in One Key Region
Schizophrenia may leave a distinctive biological footprint across the brain’s communication network. Using specialized PET imaging, researchers have mapped where synaptic connections are most reduced in people with schizophrenia and identified a possible region from which the damage begins to spread. The study, which involved a Rutgers professor, was published in Molecular Psychiatry. Synapses are […]
