NewsBreakthrough research makes cancer-fighting viral agent more effective
Researchers from Aarhus University have made a significant breakthrough by discovering that the drug 4-OI can enhance the effectiveness of a cancer-fighting viral agent. This may lead to treatment of cancers that are otherwise resistant to therapies.

NewsScientists discover genetic ‘off switch’ in legume plants that limits biological ability to source nutrients
The discovery of a new genetic regulator in legumes could be key to understanding how to increase the crop’s capacity to convert nitrogen from the air and improve soil quality.

NewsGiant viruses found on Greenland ice sheet
New research suggests that giant viruses found on the Greenland ice sheet probably regulate the growth of snow algae on the ice by infecting them. Knowing how to control these viruses could help reduce some of the ice from melting.

NewsNitrogen has been underestimated in lake ecosystems, researchers warn
A new study shows that algae growth in shallow lakes around the world is affected not only by phosphorus but also by nitrogen.

NewsResearchers uncover a key link in legume plant-bacteria symbiosis
Researchers have identified four essential phosphorylation sites that act as the catalyst for the symbiotic relationship between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

NewsIce cap teeming with thousands of microbe species
Greenlandic ice is teeming with microscopic organisms that until recently science had no idea existed, with evidence suggesting that the tiny creatures colour the ice and make it melt faster.

NewsNanobodies spur Nod factor receptors into forming root nodules
Engineering root nodule symbiosis into cereals has come a step closer with the use of nanobodies to spur Nod factor receptors into initiating nodule formation.
