Researchers have discovered that urban trash bins can serve as critical reservoirs and active transmission nodes of multidrug-resistant Enterococcus. The study, published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials, found that 99.2% of the Enterococcus isolates obtained from public trash bin surfaces exhibited multidrug resistance. The findings highlight the urgent

Freshwater adaptation in euryhaline fish species, such as the three-spined stickleback, involves a complex physiological response to maintain osmotic homeostasis. Hormone prolactin plays a central role in this process, primarily targeting gills and intestine. Research from Lomonosov Moscow State University has shed light on the sex-dependent differences in osmoregulatory function
