متن کاملTaking aim at cholera
In 1854, John Snow’s work on cholera in London immortalised the power of mapping as a tool for disease prevention and control. Over 160 years later, a more ambitious effort to map cholera has been reported in The Lancet. Forgoing so-called shoe leather epidemiology in favour of big data, Justin Lessler and colleagues used 279 cholera datasets covering 2283 locations in 37 countries, and cluster...
متن کاملTaking aim at Sox18
A small molecule called Sm4 can disrupt interactions involving a transcription factor called Sox18, while having little impact on other members of the SoxF family.
متن کاملHow to understand and outwit adaptation.
Adaptation is the ability of a system to respond and reset itself even in the continuing presence of a stimulus. On one hand, adaptation is a physiological necessity that enables proper neuronal signaling and cell movement. On the other hand, adaptation can be a source of annoyance, as it can make biological systems resistant to experimental perturbations. Here we speculate where adaptation mig...
متن کاملThe Mathematics of Mosquitoes and West Nile Virus
Lying on my sleeping pad, I warily eye the mosquito perched above my head. I could reach up and squash it, but that would require extracting my arm from the warmth of my sleeping bag. So for now, it clings to the yellow nylon of my tent, unaware of its reprieve. Although I may triumph over this particular mosquito, I am all too aware of being vastly outnumbered outside my tent. Until recently, ...
