    Soil Nitrogen Levels After a Rain

    Gardeners claim that nitrogen levels in the soil increase after rain. Water floating down through the air picks up nitrogen and deposits it on and near plants. Lighting adds even more nitrogen to the process. They base their conclusion on the perceived greening of the garden after a rain. In...

    Scientists Engineer Bacteria to Produce Sensor Molecules That Can be Detected 90 Meters Away

    Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of molecules, such as pollutants or soil nutrients. In most cases, however, these signals can only be detected by looking at the cells under a microscope or similarly sensitive lab equipment, making them impractical for large-scale use. Using a new...

    Autism Symptoms Associated with Gut Microbial Tryptophan Metabolites

    Microbiome dysbiosis—changes in the composition of gut microbes that alter the metabolites present—has long been implicated in playing a causative role in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the changes in the gut microbial metabolites that are associated with...

    Apathy in Cancer Patients Linked to Brain-Immune Circuit

    Cancer takes a devastating toll on the body—but the psychological burden can be just as profound. Many patients, even those with a long history of resilience and optimism, experience notable emotional downturns. New research points to a biological explanation: the lack of motivation and...

    Key Neural Pain-Sensing Pathway Recreated in a Lab Dish

    Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the brain. Once further processed in the brain, these signals will translate into our subjective...
