Researchers Discover Antibiotic 'Megacluster' Offering New Strategy Against Drug-Resistant Bacteria

Antibiotic resistance is widely regarded as one of the most pressing global health challenges, with drug-resistant bacteria making standard treatments increasingly ineffective. Now, researchers have uncovered what they describe as a "megacluster" of antibiotic compounds—a finding experts are calling an exciting advance in efforts to restock the

Ancient Human DNA Extracted from Cave Art for the First Time

Scientists have for the first time extracted ancient human DNA from prehistoric cave paintings and surrounding cave walls, opening a new window into our understanding of Ice Age artists. The breakthrough technique involves analyzing genetic material left behind on cave surfaces, potentially allowing researchers to identify specific individuals who created

How Developing Neurons Use DNA Breaks to Navigate the Brain

Research published in Science News reveals a surprising mechanism in the developing brain: newborn neurons intentionally break both strands of their DNA to enable migration, then repair the damage within a day. The Process Scientists studying mice discovered that as neurons are born in the developing brain, they undergo a

UC San Diego Health Study Explores AI to Support Sepsis Care Decisions

A new study from UC San Diego Health is examining how artificial intelligence might help physicians improve their approach to sepsis care. Sepsis occurs when the body's response to an infection damages its own tissues and organs, making rapid diagnosis and treatment critical for patient outcomes. The research

We've uncovered a master gene that switches on human development

Researchers have identified a gene that appears to serve as a master switch for human development. According to the study, when this gene is activated, it initiates the developmental programme that leads to cells organizing into a human body structure. The discovery represents a significant advance in understanding the earliest

NeuroLife Non-Invasive Technology Launches for Stroke and Spinal Cord Injury Recovery

A new medical device called NeuroLife® has been introduced as a non-invasive technology option for individuals seeking to restore hand and arm function following stroke or spinal cord injury. The technology represents a development in the neuroprosthetics field, where researchers and companies have been working on devices that can bridge
