UKRI BBSRC NEEDL DLA: Deciphering how ant-farmed plants break the rules of nitrogen uptake

Every year we spread more nitrogen fertiliser on fields than crops can use. Over half washes into rivers or escapes to the atmosphere, and fixing that is one of the hardest problems in agriculture. Read more

UKRI BBSRC NEEDL NLD: Myco-membrane physics: Mechanical properties of a unique bacterial outer membrane

Bacteria are under pressure. A lot of pressure. In fact, the inside of bacteria is so densely packed with biomolecules that some species are under more than 30 atmospheres of pressure pushing outward! To prevent themselves from exploding, bacteria build a rigid structure around themselves called the cell envelope. Read more

EASTBIO: How does declining cerebral blood flow affect oligodendrocytes, white matter and cognitive function during brain ageing?

White matter consists of long-range, myelinated axonal pathways that coordinate information flow across brain networks. In ageing, reduced cerebral perfusion and vascular dysfunction render white matter tracts particularly vulnerable. Read more
