Researchers have provided evidence that mice with a disrupted ABCA13 protein demonstrate a hallmark behaviour of schizophrenia. [ + ]

Scientists have found genetic mutations that are present in just one of a pair of identical twins and traced them back to the first days after conception. [ + ]

UK researchers have invented a COVID-19 test that is said to reduce testing time from 30 minutes to under five, while still delivering accurate results. [ + ]

UK researchers have identified for the first time the way viruses like the poliovirus and the common cold virus 'package up' their genetic code, allowing them to infect cells. [ + ]

Researchers have successfully used machine learning to complete cumbersome materials science calculations more than 40,000 times faster than normal. [ + ]

The new compounds combine direct antibiotic killing of pan drug-resistant bacterial pathogens with a simultaneous rapid immune response for combatting antimicrobial resistance. [ + ]

Researchers have found two new mammogram-based measures for breast cancer risk, which could improve the screening process and make it less stressful for women. [ + ]

Tokyo researcher Kaori Sugihara has shown that sterilised N95 masks can be returned to use after being recharged using a van de Graaff generator. [ + ]

Researchers have developed a fully automated, low-cost and rapid microrobotic diagnostic system with comparable sensitivity to clinical detection methods. [ + ]

Researchers have made an unexpected discovery about the protein actin — one that will spark efforts to produce new tailored therapies to kill cancer cells. [ + ]

French scientists have found that an imbalance in the gut bacterial community can cause a reduction in some metabolites, resulting in depressive-like behaviours. [ + ]

The grant will enable a major upgrade to the Murchison Widefield Array, giving the giant radio telescope the power to read and process signals captured from distant outer space. [ + ]

Researchers have found new forms of tau protein that become abnormal in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease before cognitive problems develop. [ + ]

A new insulin molecule should make blood sugar regulation both easier and safer for those with type 1 diabetes, ensuring they receive just the right amount of insulin. [ + ]

Scientists have confirmed the presence in meteorites of a key organic molecule that may have been used to build other organic molecules, including some used by life. [ + ]
