Clark | Authors: Bert van den Berg, Emily Dunbar, Robert Clark, Arnaud Basle, Shenaz Allyjaun, Hector Newman, Julia Hubbard and Syma Khalid | Summary: Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that provide alternatives to small-molecule drugs to combat infections by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. To infect a bacterial host, a phage needs to bind to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Anand R Mysorekar, Anushka Vispute and Cory Miller | Summary: Prosocial behaviors, such as cooperation and food sharing, are critical for maintaining group cohesion in social species, yet the influence of transient physiological states on these behaviors remains poorly understood. This study investigates how short-term ecological factors impact social […]
