Researchers find genetic locations for increased hidradenitis suppurativa
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Under the skin, painful lumps develop as a result of the chronic inflammatory follicular illness known as hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The armpits, groin, and regions beneath the breasts are common places where the lumps develop as a result of skin rubbing against the skin. The severity of

Research advances understanding of how bacteria benefit plant growth
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Plants create alliances with bacteria in the soil in which they thrive. Legumes, for example, benefit from a symbiotic relationship with microorganisms that live in nodules in their roots and "fix" nitrogen in the atmosphere to make it available for the legumes' growth. But are microorganism
