Chilly weather could impede the immune reactions that most effectively contain viruses like the common cold.
Viruses that attack bacteria may be an important component of our gut microbiota.
Synthetic biologists are looking to analog, not digital, circuits to create cell-based calculators that can add, divide, and even perform algorithms.
Patients with major depressive disorder appear to have malfunctioning circadian rhythms, which could lead researchers to new avenues for treatment.
The NIH has required researchers to receive instruction about responsible conduct for more than 20 years, but misconduct is still on the rise.
