Newswise — Imagine editing the bacteria in your gut the same way scientists edit DNA, targeted, precise, and powerful. That’s exactly what Dr. Carlotta Ronda, a Principal Investigator at the Innovative Genomics Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, is working on. Ronda shared how her lab is developing new ways to reprogram the microbiome,…
Newswise — COLUMBUS, Ohio – Researchers have developed a new material that, by harnessing the power of sunlight, can clear water of dangerous pollutants. Created through a combination of soft chemistry gels and electrospinning — a technique where electrical force is applied to liquid to craft small fibers — the team constructed thin fiber-like strips…
Newswise — America’s infrastructure is cracking, according to the latest report card from the American Society of Civil Engineers. In multiple categories, from aviation to roads to energy, the country’s infrastructure is earning Ds, almost-failing grades.

Newswise — Penicillium expansum is a formidable postharvest pathogen responsible for significant economic losses in the fruit industry, affecting apples, pears, and other perishable crops. Beyond causing fruit decay, it produces patulin, a mycotoxin with serious food safety implications. While previous research has explored gene expression patterns, the role of chromatin structure and transcription factors…
BYLINE: Lara Pacillo Newswise — New research suggests converting the Australian dairy industry’s whey waste into a valuable food product is more feasible than many realise, with significant potential for industry-wide change. Whey is a by-product of cheese manufacturing and one of the largest sources of food loss and waste in the Australian dairy sector,…
Newswise — Campylobacter infections are the most common foodborne illnesses in the U.S., sickening an estimated 1.5 million people each year. A new study examined records of Campylobacter jejuni infections from 10 states, plotting regional, age-related, and drug-resistance trends from 2013 to 2019. The study found that drug-resistant C. jejuni infections were highest in the 20-39 age group and that quinolone-resistant C. jejuni infections increased from…
