Living human cells will launch aboard a European research rocket next month as South Australian researchers use space to investigate cancer in a radically different environment.
A University of Minnesota-led multi-institutional research team has discovered a highly potent small molecule that blocks Ebola virus entry by stabilizing the virus's entry protein and provides strong protection when given orally in a preclinical model.

Compassion, trust and person-centred care must be at the heart of supporting people experiencing suicidal distress, according to a leading Adelaide University suicide prevention expert.
As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and digital technology plays a larger role in Australia’s defence, developing people with the skills to protect critical systems is becoming a national priority.
Dogs trained in scent detection may be better at sniffing out the right smell after breakfast, with new research finding hungry dogs that are working for treats are more likely to falsely identify the wrong scent.

Scientists recently discovered various Denisovan remains in Southwest China dating back to the late Middle Pleistocene, including the first Denisovan radius—one of two long bones in the forearm. Denisovans are a genetically identified archaic hominin group believed to have been widely distributed across Asia. However, due to the limited number of fossil remains, especially postcranial bones—those

Drier climates are exacerbating an expensive problem for millions of Australians whose homes sit on expansive soils prone to shrinkage cracks, which have already cost insurance companies and individuals billions of dollars in damage bills. A new study by Adelaide University, using computer modelling and field observations, shows that homes are more vulnerable to damage than previously thought, and climate change is expected to worsen the problem in coming years. With 20-30% of Australian surface
An international search will begin for the new Director of Adelaide University's Australian Institute for Machine Learning, as Professor Simon Lucey steps down from 7 September.
While most Australians assume the ivory trade ended decades ago, Adelaide University research has found an active collectors' market exists online, with most listings showing no proof the items are legal.
Nearly two-thirds of Australian children surveyed in a recent study have received at least one form of grooming-related communication from a stranger online in the past year, while almost one-third reported receiving direct requests for sexual information or interactions.
现代主栽香蕉品种高度依赖营养繁殖，存在遗传基础狭窄、遗传多样性低等问题。芭蕉科现存约80个物种，不同类群在染色体基数（如 n =11、10和9）以及花苞颜色等性状上呈现多样性，是研究植物染色体结构演化和花器官性状分化的理想类群。然而，这些不同染色体基数的演化形成机制、染色体结构变异与花苞颜色分化的内在关联，长期以来缺乏基因组与细胞遗传学层面的直接证据。

New research from Adelaide University has found people who have more realistic understanding of shark behaviour, have a more positive view towards their conservation.
Understanding how domestication reshapes brain structure and function remains a fundamental question in evolutionary biology. The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory and stress regulation, and it has been thought to undergo "simplification" during domestication. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying these changes remain poorly understood. In a study published in PNAS on Sept
