Research reveals bacteria's dynamic defense duo against phage viruses

Scientists at the University of Southampton have discovered that bacteria can pair up their defense systems to create a formidable force, greater than the sum of its parts, to fight off attack from phage viruses.

23 Feb 2024

Ketamine variant shows promise in treating social impairments

Well-being is important for everyone, especially when we feel lonely or isolated. Depression is a serious challenge for many people and finding an effective solution is key.
