Leafy vegetables identified as potential metal mining tools: Certain plants are 'hyperaccumulators' that can extract toxic yet valuable metals from contaminated soils through their roots and shoots, in a way that could be ideal for metallurgical extraction and re-use in technologies.

Researchers may have discovered a new way to diagnose and treat major depression at the earliest stage of the condition, giving patients the best opportunity for recovery.

The types of fats we consume directly impacts the survival and strength of the body’s immune cells and ability to fight disease: diet with a lower ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to monounsaturated fatty acids makes T cells much more resilient and resistant to cell death

With the launch of the Australian Psychiatric Research Knowledge Bank (APsyK Bank), scientists and doctors are joining forces, sharing insights, and unlocking discoveries to improve mental health care for everyone
