Climate-stressed trees get a boost from new microbial partnerships
Climate change is subjecting plants to rapid shifts in temperature and precipitation, pushing them into new ranges and stressing them in old ones. Trees may have an easier time adapting in both cases by making new microbial friends underground, according to new research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Exploring the links between diet and cancer
Omer Yilmaz's work on how diet influences intestinal stem cells could lead to new ways to treat or prevent gastrointestinal cancers. Every three to five days, all of the cells lining the human intestine are replaced. That constant replenishment of cells helps the intestinal lining withstand the damage caused by food passing through the digestive tract.

Bending implantable medical devices can lead to bacterial growth
A study by researchers at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering shows that mechanical deformation of medically implantable materials - such as bending or twisting - can have a big impact on the formation of potentially harmful biofilms. The study, described in a paper published in Scientific Reports , shows that even slight bending of elastomeric materials such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) - also known as silicone - opens up microscopic cracks that are perfect environments for colonizing bacteria.

UW researchers will trial gene editing therapy to treat blindness
With new support from the National Institutes of Health, a team of researchers at the Wisconsin Institute of Discovery will lead drug therapeutics testing for two diseases known to cause blindness. Over the next five years, the collaborative project will use the $29 million NIH grant to merge new drug delivery systems with advanced genome CRISPR technology, innovating new treatments for Best Disease (BD) and Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), both of which are currently untreatable hereditary diseases.

Experience science up close: University of Würzburg invites to BioBlitz
Explore nature on your own doorstep and make an important contribution to species conservation - citizens can do so on June 17 and 18 at a hands-on event organized by the University of Würzburg at Hubland . Many plant and animal species in Germany are threatened with extinction. But what is the actual state of biodiversity in our country? Researchers at the University of Würzburg now want to find out with a BioBlitz.

Speaking up for the annoying fruit fly
Andreas Prokop , University of Manchester Fruit flies can be truly annoying when they are buzzing around your living room or landing in your wine. But we have much to thank these tiny nuisances for - they revolutionised biological and medical science. Flies and mosquitoes both belong to Diptera , the group of insects that have only two wings (from the Greek meaning two and pteron meaning wing).

3 Questions: Sara Prescott on the brain-body connection
New MIT faculty member investigates how sensory input from within the body controls mammalian physiology and behavior. Many of our body's most important functions occur without our conscious knowledge, such as digestion, heartbeat, and breathing. These vital functions depend on the signals generated by the "interoceptive nervous system," which enables the brain to monitor our internal organs and trigger responses that sometimes save our lives.
