According to new research, mosses have also been hiding something. Researchers studying desert mosses have found evidence that these ancient plants may host fungi inside their tissues. This relationship has not previously been documented.
A new “electronic nose” can detect the scents associated with spoiled food much more accurately than the human nose. It can also sniff out the presence of common food allergens, like walnuts and peanuts, which can be deadly for those with sensitivities.
Ebola virus can survive unnoticed in the human body for months or even years, hiding in areas with little immune surveillance like the central nervous system. Using a cerebral organoid model, researchers have gained valuable insights into the mechanisms of Ebola virus persistence.

A new study shows that fungi may play a surprisingly important role in keeping carbon locked into the seafloor. Researchers have found that marine fungi living in sediments efficiently assimilate dissolved organic matter and retain it as microbial biomass, rather than allowing it to be rapidly remineralised.
New study reinforces the importance of the Southern Ocean marginal ice zone as a critical hotspot for global sulfur cycling where biogeochemical processes for climate regulation are enhanced.
Continuous consumption of foods containing heat-inactivated Lactiplantibacillus pentosus can help reduce gum bleeding, report researchers. These postbiotic foods can improve inflammatory conditions and enhance gum health in adults with mild gingivitis.
