In the war against mosquito-borne illnesses that claim the lives of hundreds of thousands annually, researchers have sought an unexpected partner: a fungus that emits a floral scent.

The study reveals accelerating introductions since 1950, driven by trade, transport, and socio-environmental factors, highlighting actionable hotspots for global surveillance.
Chemists at Université de Montréal have developed "signaling cascades" made with DNA molecules to report and quantify the concentration of various molecules in a drop of blood, all within 5 minutes.
A new study projects that US funding cuts to global health aid will have a catastrophic effect on pediatric TB, with children in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia likely to experience a significant spike in preventable cases and deaths over the next decade-even by the most conservative estimates-unless funding is restored.
