A new study led by University of British Columbia researchers has found that pet cats allowed to roam outside unsupervised carry infectious diseases at rates comparable to feral cats, even when they receive veterinary care, regular meals and shelter.

A new study by researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso has identified a significant rise in Valley fever cases in El Paso over the past decade and found strong connections between the disease and extreme weather, wind and airborne dust.

An international team led by Dr. Adolfo Poma (IPPT PAN, Poland) shows that antibody effectiveness depends not only on binding strength but also on their stability under mechanical forces. The findings provide a new framework for designing more robust antiviral therapeutics.

A study led by Professor Bing Liu and Researcher Ang Li reveals that neuroticism contains two distinct dimensions with opposing health effects. While general neuroticism is linked to mental disorders, a newly identified dimension called ERIS shows that individuals prone to worry actually live longer—suggesting different dimensions of neuroticism serve distinct evolutionary missions: “ensuring survival” versus “pursuing happiness.”
