Digging into How Bacteria and Viruses Change in Pig Manure Digests

February 28, 2026

In pig farms, manure piles are a big source of antibiotic‑resistance genes, or ARGs. Scientists wanted to see how treating this waste with anaerobic digestion (AD) changes those genes and the viruses that live there. AD is a common way to break down waste without oxygen, producing useful gas. The s

Lactate Signals: Decoding Energy Flow with Hyperpolarized Pyruvate

February 28, 2026

Scientists are turning to a special imaging trick that makes the normally invisible flow of energy inside cells visible. By feeding cells a version of pyruvate that glows brighter than usual, researchers can watch how it turns into lactate in real time. The key to understanding this process lies in
