Phages interact with bacteria and eukaryotic cells in ways that researchers suspect influence mammalian health.

Our novel technique involves planting several small fragments of slow-growing corals onto dead coral heads. The fragments eventually fuse, forming a large colony in a fraction of the time that it takes wild corals to build reefs.

Researchers develop a caspase inhibitor that only works after being irradiated with UV light, giving them control over apoptosis in human cells.

The virus rarely spreads from mother to child before birth, but it can—and researchers are starting to investigate the path it takes.

Researchers use optical illusions to investigate canine perception.

A recent study sheds light on a previously unknown mechanism for fending off the pathogen, and potentially other viruses as well.

Researchers are experimenting with a variety of tools, from brain stimulation to audiovisual equipment, to try to take control of the sleeping brain.

Nutrition researchers are beginning to use metabolomics to determine how healthy subjects’ diets are, and even to reveal specific properties of the foods they eat.

A recent study elucidates some of the changes that occur in the body after inoculation with a tuberculosis vaccine.
