A new study published in Science Advances reveals how early mammals grew and developed during their pivotal Jurassic radiation. Using a technique called synchrotron X-ray tomography to image growth rings in fossilised tooth roots, the researchers were able to estimate lifespans, growth rates, and even the timing of sexual maturity in these ancient creatures.
A new study involving nearly the whole adult population of England has found that the incidence of heart attacks and strokes was lower after COVID-19 vaccination than before or without vaccination.

Toddlers engage more regions of their brains around 16-months to help them develop important cognitive skills enabling them to follow simple instructions and control impulses. Findings from the study, led by the Universities of Bristol and Oxford, and published in Imaging Neuroscience, suggests 16 months is a critical period for brain development.
Climate change experts from the University of Bristol are all set to champion inclusivity and ensuring a fair shift to a net zero economy at a major United Nations summit – the Bonn Climate Change Conference in Germany this week.
Significant strides in addressing the issue of AI 'hallucinations' and improving the reliability of anomaly detection algorithms in Critical National Infrastructures (CNI) have been made by scientists based in the University's of Bristol’s School of Computer Science.
The imaging of tumour growth in zebrafish has revealed for the first time how cancer cells have the capacity to co-opt the immune system into spreading disease, leading the way for investigations into potential therapies for eliminating early-stage cancer in humans.
Declining snowfall is changing the seasonal patterns of streamflow throughout the Northern hemisphere boosting chances of water shortages in the summer, scientists have found.
A new initiative to increase the visibility of the South West’s growing life sciences ecosystem has been launched.
