When exposed to acute heat stress, corals can suffocate, rapidly losing their tissue before showing the familiar signs of bleaching.

Researchers at KAUST have discovered how a beneficial bacterium switches on plants’ natural defenses against heat stress.

BESE alumni Banan Alhazmi and CEMSE alumni Rawan Alghamdi have been awarded the MIT–KACST Ibn Khaldun Fellowship for Saudi Arabian Women

A new study published in the journal Cell Reports establishes that both live probiotic and postbiotic treatments improved the health of corals under thermal stress during a natural marine heat wave.

Research provides new evidence to help shape healthier, more sustainable food systems.

A new AI tool helps identify hidden similarities across distant species.

Study finds restoring seagrass could deliver far greater climate and economic returns than previously estimated

By shrinking CRISPR tools and boosting their specificity, researchers hope to expand where and how gene editing can be used.

Saltgrass is both a potential climate-resilient crop and an importnat model for studying plant adaptation, genome evolution, and stress tolerance.

Nanoreactors ferry multi-protein machinery into cells, opening a potential route to precision therapies.

Researchers document more than 200 marine ecosystem impacts worldwide, revealing that ocean heat-related disruptions are occurring throughout the year, not only during summer heat extremes

A simple fluorescent tag helps CRISPR repair DNA more efficiently in human stem cells, organoids and embryo models.

Soil biodiversity is essential for farming and climate stability, but new research shows it may also play a critical role in human health. Intensive agriculture and climate change are rapidly degrading this biodiversity, potentially increasing disease risk.

Mangrove soil-derived microbial communities harbor enzymes capable of degrading polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
