Mutations in a key protein make a yeast found in dogs with common outer ear infections more resistant to the topical antifungals used to treat it, veterinarians and pathobiologists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign found in a new study. The findings help veterinarians know how best to prescribe antifungal drugs to preserve their efficacy.

For many people living in developed nations, towns and cities take care of ensuring residents’ water is clean and safe.

Municipalities have advanced filters and UV light disinfection technologies at their disposal. Some households have additional filters as well.

In many places in the Global South, however, these technologies are not widely available. These areas, such as parts of Africa and South America, do have one advantage when it comes to water filtration – sunlight.

Eric Ryberg, assistant professor of allied health sciences in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources (CAHNR), and his colleagues at Yale University have developed a new solar-powered water disinfection system that combines several existing methods. They published their findings in npj Clean Water, a Nature journal.

Cornell University scientists have taken a major step toward developing a safe, reversible, long-acting and 100% effective nonhormonal male contraceptive, considered the holy grail of male contraception.

The International Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (IADR) has announced Nasir Bashir as the 2026 recipient of the IADR John Clarkson Fellowship.

A first-of-its-kind study led by researchers at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) has found that artificial intelligence (AI) models used to predict aggressive incidents in acute psychiatric care can reinforce and amplify existing social and structural inequities by overestimating the likelihood of aggression among already marginalized groups. The findings, which were recently published in npj Mental Health Research, underscore the importance of careful evaluation to ensure AI tools don’t perpetuate harm in clinical settings but promote more equitable care.
