A study by La Trobe University researchers has found annual ryegrass, the most damaging weed in Australian grain systems, can adjust its growth and reproduction to survive under drought stress, making it potentially harder to manage as climate conditions become more variable.

The early period of life is a critical phase in which the immune system must learn to tolerate harmless environmental stimuli, such as food and microbes that normally live in and on the body, while remaining vigilant against harmful substances and pathogens. If it fails to strike

Hepatitis C remains a major cause of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer worldwide. Although highly effective antiviral medicines can cure most infections, many people remain undiagnosed or untreated because health care systems often fail to reach those at greatest risk.

People in rural communities have long experienced disproportionate levels of chronic disease, driven in part by systemic barriers to physical activity. A new study from North Carolina State University highlights ways some rural communities use strategic investments and community

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by eosinophilia, an abnormal increase in eosinophils—a type of white blood cell—and inflammation of small blood vessels across multiple organs, which can lead to organ damage. Th

An international team of researchers has developed an innovative strategy for producing new vaccines. They created a genetically modified version of the chikungunya virus that replicates only once yet still trains the immune system to defend itself without causing disease. In tes

Special Rules for End of Life is an important mechanism in the benefits system designed to give people with a terminal illness fast-tracked access to vital financial support. But this qualitative study, the first to interview patients, caregivers and health care professionals abo

Pregnant women in Australia are facing an unfair two-tiered system for managing morning sickness, with financial status affecting who can access the full range of modern anti-nausea medications available rather than simply clinical need.

A disease surveillance strategy modeled on the body's immune system detected more disease-carrying insects than the traditional top-down approach, according to a study led by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Universidad Pe

Researchers from Kyushu University have discovered that diffuse gas surrounding dense filaments in a nearby stellar nursery plays a much larger role in star formation than previously recognized. By tracking the movement of gas in the Monoceros R2 hub–filament system, the team fou

A protein that evolved long before the human circulatory system may help unlock stronger cancer treatments. When C3 is produced inside tumors, it blocks immune-suppressing cells and gives immunotherapy a better chance to work. Researchers were even able to recreate this effect in

A one-size-fits-all approach likely isn't the best strategy when designing artificial intelligence systems that assist users in disease diagnosis.
