  • Optimistic Neurons
    In rats given a choice between two rewards, neurons that predict the value of expected rewards responded as though the animal had chosen the best available reward, no matter what the rat actually did.
  • Immune Delivery Service
    Researchers have identified the cells responsible for rapid delivery of blood-borne antigens to specialized sites in the spleen.
  • Suppressing Allergy

  • Gene Prevents Sudden Death In Mice After Infection
    Mice that lack a particular gene die suddenly and without overt signs of illness in response to an infection that is usually harmless.
  • Normal Cells Lead Tumour Cell Invasion
    Normal tissue cells called fibroblasts can help to form a path for invading carcinoma cells, and may thereby promote tumour metastasis.
  • Neural Crest Stem Cells On Tap
    Human embryonic stem cells have been coaxed into becoming neural crest stem cells, an important cell type in the developing embryo.
