Spruce bark beetles hijack their host tree’s chemical defenses, transforming them into potent weapons against fungal threats.

Bark beetles convert spruce tree defenses into more potent antimicrobials to protect themselves, but a fungus can neutralize ...

A recent study published in the Nutrients Journal evaluated the effects of phenolic compounds in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on the proliferation, cell cycle, migration, and antigenic profile of ...

The UCO studied, for the first time, how alperujo storage times affect the subsequent composting process, taking into account both the quality of the product and the emission of greenhouse gases and ...
