NewsViral inflammation may disrupt the uterine lining and impair placental development
Viral infections early in pregnancy may disrupt the way the uterine lining prepares for implantation, with effects that can persist throughout pregnancy. In cell, mouse and 3D uterine models, researchers found that inflammation reduced decidualization and was linked to abnormal placental development and smaller fetuses.

NewsIndustrialisation may be reshaping the evolution of our gut bacteria
Gut bacteria living in industrialised societies appear to be evolving differently from those in non-industrialised populations. Researchers found that strains from industrialised hosts had recently acquired more genes, mostly through horizontal gene transfer, suggesting that modern lifestyles may be reshaping microbial evolution inside us.

NewsNew AI method spots outbreak signals in sparse and noisy data
A new early-warning method could help detect disease outbreaks even when case data are sparse, delayed or incomplete. By using topological data analysis to capture the underlying shape of epidemic time series, the system remained accurate even when up to half of the surveillance data were missing.

NewsFAU awarded $1.2 million to advance coral reef restoration in Florida
Nearly $1.25 million in new funding will support research into why some restored corals survive while others die. By combining coral genetics, microbiome analysis and field monitoring, researchers aim to identify which corals are most likely to withstand heat, bleaching and disease at different reef sites.

NewsThree onion problems, one microbial answer: a five-strain consortium controls basal rot, eases salt-alkali stress and boosts growth
Onion yields and quality are increasingly threatened in China by severe soil salinization and by frequent outbreaks of basal rot. Effective, environmentally friendly measures that address both problems remain scarce. Researchers set out to build a microbial consortium that degrades salt and alkali, controls basal rot, and promotes onion growth.
