The team also found that the few patches of suitable bowhead habitat predicted to remain in the year 2100 will exist outside their current distribution, directly impacting conservation policies. “By identifying the extent and location of bowhead whale habitat that is likely to be lost in coming decades, our projections provide vital information to guide future management efforts of this emblematic species,” said Professor Eline Lorenzen, from the University of Copenhagen’s Globe Institute.

Water molecules form harmonised networks during hydrolytic reactions

1 month ago | adelaide.edu.au | Johnny von Einem

The research team, led by Professor Maria Hrmova from the University of Adelaide, identified enzyme components that underlie water molecule networks and function as principal operators to regulate water flux during hydrolytic reactions. “Conceptually, one of the most exciting undertakings in biophysics and biochemistry is to investigate the dynamics of water molecules,” said Professor Hrmova, whose study was published in Communications Biology.
Students still struggling mentally, but tide is turning

The latest Resilient Youth: State of the Nation Report has revealed Australia’s young people are still struggling mentally. However, for the first time since reporting began in 2019, student wellbeing has stabilised or slightly improved, breaking a worrying trend of year-on-year declines. More than 149,000 students from 800 schools across Australia complete the annual Resilience Survey, with the University of Adelaide and Resilient Youth Australia analysing the results.
A big funding boost for nanotechnology projects

Associate Professor Jiawen Li, School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS), and Dr Yannan Yang, South Australian Immunogenomics Cancer Institute (SAiGENCI), will share in $5 million for their research into cardiovascular risk and brain cancer, respectively.
For nutritional gains, opt for chickpeas over cereal grains

Mar 12, 2025 | adelaide.edu.au | Johnny von Einem

The researchers looked at the bioavailability of micronutrients in products that are available to the public on supermarket shelves and were surprised at their discovery. “We found that all the pulse products, like chickpea and lentil flours, were excellent sources of micronutrients,” says Thi Diem Nguyen, a PhD candidate in the School of Agriculture, Food and Wine.
Female fertility key to future barley yield security

Mar 4, 2025 | adelaide.edu.au | Rhiannon Koch

Researchers have identified a novel mechanism through which a protein in barley supports female fertility and could help safeguard yield security in the future. University of Adelaide’s Professor Matthew Tucker, Interim Director of the Waite Research Institute, led a team that found the protein, MADS31, functions in barley and bread wheat to create safe environments for seeds.
Funding awarded to explore immune response in MS

Mar 4, 2025 | adelaide.edu.au | Rhiannon Koch

MS Australia has recognised the work of University of Adelaide’s Dr Iain Comerford with a $25,000 Incubator Grant. Dr Comerford, of the School of Biological Sciences, and his team are investigating how immune cells interact in the hope of discovering a new treatment for people with Multiple Sclerosis. More than 2.8 million people across the world, about 33,300 of which are Australian, live with the disease.
