Recently, a team of Estonian scientists published a study that may revolutionize how we analyze fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) measurements and address one of the major weaknesses in this approach. They used powerful computational tools originally built for artificial intelligence, but instead of relying on AI's "black box" methods, they applied these tools to optimize transparent, physics-based models.

A new discovery shows that evolution isn't just a process where nature "selects" the best designs from a pool of limitless options. Instead, embryonic development guides evolution along certain paths while making others harder to follow.

Researchers investigated how autoimmune gastritis alters the gastric microbiota and disrupts metabolism, shedding light on mechanisms that contribute to the development of neuroendocrine tumors.

SDSE, a lesser-known cousin of group A strep, is causing a growing number of severe infections across Australia, with First Nations communities facing three times the risk of invasive disease. Doherty Institute researchers tracked over a decade of cases, revealing rising rates, a fast-spreading bacterial clone and differences from group A strep – highlighting urgent needs for better surveillance, prevention and potential vaccines.
