Parasites are often overlooked in biodiversity research and conservation efforts. That needs to change, says zombie ant researcher Charissa de Bekker.

Plant-covered facades can help cool cities and boost biodiversity, a new study now confirms. The study systematically compares these ‘green walls’ with bare walls and natural cliffs. “Green walls can be much more than just a decorative trend.”

Recent advances in AI-driven protein modelling have enabled accurate prediction of both antibody and antigen structures.

A new AI tool can now predict how well seed potatoes will grow into healthy potato plants. "This marks the beginning of a new era in farming, where microbiology and AI come together to enhance agriculture."

“I am glad that these negative results are finally shared, as it helps prevent duplication of work and unnecessary suffering in laboratory animals.”

For a decade now, the Science for Life community has brought together life sciences researchers in Utrecht. What started as a small initiative from the Faculty of Science has evolved into a vibrant, campus-wide community.

In her inaugural lecture, Prof. Laura Villanueva will illuminate the hidden world of marine microbes, and highlight how they influence our planet’s complex systems in remarkable and sometimes unexpected ways.

Ahmed has nearly 860 thousand subscribers on YouTube and an impressive 1.3 million followers on Facebook. Today, Ahmed will defend his PhD thesis.

Using a computer model that reveals how plants grow thicker over time, biologists have uncovered how cells are activated to produce wood tissue. Understanding the fundamentals behind this growth, they hope to advance forestry practices and CO₂ storage in trees.

Potentially, simply spraying such molecules on a field could delay the agriculturally undesired effects of aging in crop plants.
