A recent study sheds light on the genetic basis of adaptations that plants undergo when they colonize new territories and must face environmental conditions that differ from those in their area of...
A study conducted by an international team with participation from CREAF reveals that it’s not just how much it rains, but how often, that determines when trees shed their leaves. This timing has significant...
Bacteriophages are emerging as an innovative and sustainable tool for the biocontrol of pathogens in animal production. Researchers from the UAB have collaborated in a groundbreaking study, published in Food...
The growth of population, the loss of arable land, and climate change threaten global food security and economic stability. Crops are particularly affected by excessive soil salinity, and research has focused on improvements...
Birth is one of the most decisive and fragile moments in human life, but identifying it is a challenge in the remains of very ancient individuals, especially when there are no teeth. Now, researchers from the UAB and the UAM have shown that the...
Medical radiation from tests such as computed tomography (CT), even at low doses, can damage the DNA of cells. This study reveals that not all cells respond the same way to different doses of radiation: some are more radiosensitive and others more radioresistant. If the...
The Biological Anthropology Research Group of the UAB has studied the burials of infants from the Iberian site of Ullastret in a pioneering comprehensive research of the site. The study, in collaboration with the MAC-Ullastret, rules out sex or...
The SEAaq research group from UAB has participated in the study on the effects of temperature and feeding habits on the ingestion and expulsion of plastic fibers by European sardines. The article demonstrates that the way sardines feed, which...
Catalan soils are deteriorating due to both natural factors and human activities, leading to nutrient depletion and increased alkalinity and salinity, which reduce their suitability for cultivation. In response to this...
The MolBioMed research group of the Department of Chemistry, in collaboration with the University of Barcelona, has published a study that demonstrates the direct relationship between the COX-2 dimer and cancer. The computational study shows the different...
