The large-eyed bristle worm Vanadis has long been of interest to the world’s vision researchers. But the worm has been difficult to study since it lives in the open sea and is active at night. Now, a research team has succeeded in locating an Italian worm colony and is able to confirm that the worm has a completely unique vision. Bristle worms are a group of annelid worms that mostly live in the s

Scientists have long tried to understand the connection between osteoarthritis, our most common joint disease, and cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and high blood pressure. Previously, it was believed that osteoarthritis simply increases the risk of cardiovascular disease due to reduced physical activity due to joint pain and obesity. But new findings suggest that something much deepe

What happens when you mix a group of tumor biology researchers with software developers and AI researchers? Hopefully, with the help of AI, they can connect a multitude of data that leads to new treatments for kidney cancer – that's at least what the researchers in the EU-project KATY envision. But first, they need to find a common language that all professional groups understand. – It's a challen

For generations, Indigenous and riverine communities in the Amazon have relied on deep ecological knowledge to live in harmony with the rainforest. But, as climate disasters reshape the woodlands, local expertise is often overlooked in environmental policies and scientific studies. A new research project aims to change that. In 2023 and 2024, the Amazon faced severe droughts. Rivers dried up, cutt
