Ancient skeletons reveal viruses embedded in human DNA

Scientists have, for the first time, rebuilt ancient genomes of Human betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A/B) using DNA from archaeological human remains that are more than 2,000 years old. The research, led by teams at the University of Vienna and the University of Tartu (Estonia) and published in Science Advances, shows that these viruses have […]

Potassium ion homeostasis modulates mitochondrial function

Age-associated decline in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) is a ubiquitous aspect of eukaryotic organisms and is associated with many aging-related diseases. However, it is not clear whether this decline is a cause or consequence of aging, and therefore whether interventions to reduce MMP decline are a viable strategy to promote healthier aging and longer lifespans.

The green passion pay gap

Professionals working in Britain’s environmental sector remain passionate and committed – but are being underpaid and under-supported, according to insights from the 2025 National Environmental Services Survey. And this exploitation is slowing progress towards net zero.  The major nationwide survey, conducted by Environmental Services & Solutions (ESS) Expo in collaboration with Groundwork and the Environmental Services Association (ESA), gathered views from more […]

Scientists “resurrect” ancient cannabis enzymes with medical promise

Where did cannabis compounds like THC, CBD, and CBC come from? Scientists at Wageningen University & Research have now provided the first experimental proof showing how cannabis developed the ability to make these well-known cannabinoids. Along the way, the team also created enzymes that could be useful for producing cannabinoids through biotechnology, especially for medical […]
