Bee mites suppress bee immunity, open door for viruses and bacteria

..." says Cox-Foster. "Guard bees that are aggressive better protect the hive, so there may be some positive effect in this virus that allows it to persist in a colony." The combination of bee mite infestation and deformed wing virus does cause deformed wings in about a quarter of the emerging bees. This, how...

Eventually, frozen OSE cells from younger females may be preserved for later production of fresh eggs. This may prevent the occurrence of fetal genetic alterations, which are often associated with ...

A probe, not an echo

Disabling gene defuses rheumatoid arthritis in mice

... to play similar roles in immune T cells. To get a better sense for Foxo3a's activities, Peng's group created a line of mice where Foxo3a had been disabled and studied the effects this change had on T cells. As a follow-up, Peng decided to inject the new line of mice with antibodies that normally induce a ...

Scientists find viruses can't stick to sea bugs in the dark
