Researchers develop a blood test to identify individuals at risk of developing Parkinson’s disease

Research carried out at the University of Oxford has led to the development of a new blood-based test to identify the pathology that triggers Parkinson’s disease before the main symptoms occur. This could allow clinicians to screen for those individuals at high risk of developing the disease and facilitate the timely introduction of precision therapies that are currently at clinical trial stage.

Armed to the hilt: Study solves mystery behind bacteria’s extensive weaponry

A new study led by the University of Oxford has shed light on why certain species of bacteria carry astonishing arsenals of weapons. The new findings, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, could help us to engineer microbes that can destroy deadly pathogens, reducing our reliance on antibiotics.

Oxford-led study shows how AI can detect antibiotic resistance in as little as 30 minutes

To mark World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, researchers supported by the Oxford Martin Programme on Antimicrobial Resistance Testing at the University of Oxford have reported advances towards a novel and rapid antimicrobial susceptibility test that can return results within as little as 30 minutes - significantly faster than current gold-standard approaches.

Antimicrobial resistance is a silent killer that leads to 5 million deaths a year. Solutions must include the poor

Microbes such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi form part of our everyday lives – they live in us, on us and around us. We need them for healthy digestion, immune function, and the synthesis of essential nutrients, and we depend on them for farming and industrial processes. But microbes also cause disease in people, animals and plants.

Flies neglect food and endure shocks to seek a dopamine reward

New research published in nature, led by Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG) scientists Dr Kristijan Jovanoski and Professor Scott Waddell at the Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour, reveals dopamine systems can cause flies to seek reward despite negative consequences
