In a new international joint initiative, researchers led by Emilio Moran, a Hannah Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University, will not only work with Indigenous communities to document the numerous challenges they face from climate change but will also collaborate with these communities to explore their innovations for addressing sustainability, adaptation, and mitigation.

For nearly a century, scientists have waged war on antibiotic-resistant microbes. Michigan State University researchers say they’ve found a new way to prevent it – by unleashing “DNA scavengers” in wastewater treatment plants.

A team of MSU researchers has shown there’s “untapped potential” for ensuring that Michigan forests provide clean and abundant drinking water.

Researchers Berkley Walker and Hiroshi Maeda have been awarded a total of $1.9 million grant from the National Science Foundation to study how plants compensate when they “overspend” the carbon that they take in during photosynthesis.

Researchers in Michigan State University’s Department of Kinesiology found significant geographic variations in concussion diagnoses in United States emergency departments — with the highest rates in the South and lower rates in the Midwest and Northeast.

Researchers have now confirmed that bacterial microcompartment, or BMC, pores work the same regardless of what configuration a BMC is in — and understanding how those pores work is vital to employing BMCs for human use, such as drug synthesis.

Researchers from Michigan State University and Corewell Health, in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic, have made a significant breakthrough in understanding post-COVID-19 lung complications.

Unpredictable precipitation is one of the most challenging elements of being a farmer. Not enough moisture, and plant growth is hindered. Too much can saturate the soil while setting the stage for diseases to thrive.
