New research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth’s orbit and shaping the cycles that drive long-term climate patterns here, including ice ages.
Cholera, a severe bacterial infection that causes diarrhea and kills if untreated, can be defeated with a diet high in protein, according to a new study from UC Riverside.
A small-scale solution to food waste transforms scraps into high-protein animal feed and fertilizer using black soldier flies.
A UCR study finds just 6% of clinical trials used to approve new drugs in the U.S. reflect the country’s racial and ethnic makeup, with an increasing trend of trials underrepresenting Black and Hispanic individuals.
By testing for microbes in termite excrement, researchers can distinguish old droppings from fresh, and whether a colony is actively chewing its way through a home.
University of California Riverside researchers are launching a preemptive strike against the threatened return of the flesh-eating New World screwworm, a threat to livestock.
After six years of UC Riverside-led research in a temperate Chinese forest, researchers have found that warming may be reducing nitrogen emissions, at least in places where rainfall is scarce.
Soybean oil, the most widely consumed cooking oil in the United States, contributes to obesity in mice, through a mechanism scientists are finally beginning to understand.
Findings may have important implications for diseases associated with mitochondrial problems
When bumble bees fight invasive Argentine ants for food, bees may win an individual skirmish but end up with less to feed the hive.
A UCR study has unexpectedly discovered that a common parasite of modern oysters actually started infecting bivalves hundreds of millions of years before the dinosaurs went extinct.
UC Riverside research reveals that common vaping ingredient can form chemicals that damage airway tissue even at low levels
UC Riverside mouse study highlights why fitness may matter more in a warming, drier world
Genetic or bacterial diseases have previously been shown to have an effect on lung microbes. However, a UC Riverside discovery marks the first time scientists have observed such changes from environmental exposure rather than disease.
A newly described fossil reveals that leeches are at least 200 million years older than scientists previously thought, and that their earliest ancestors may have feasted not on blood, but on smaller marine creatures. “This is the only body fossil we’ve ever found of this entire group,” said Karma Nanglu...
UCR-developed technology will allow scientists to peer deeper into the universe
How global warming may overcorrect into an ice age.
Research led by a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, shows how viruses form protective shells, or capsids, around their genomes — a process that, while messy and complex, consistently results in highly symmetrical icosahedral structures. A genome is the complete set of genetic material in an organism. For...
A $2 million grant to UC Riverside will explore how gut bacteria shape human health.
