Soft, living materials made with algae glow under stress
A team of researchers has developed soft yet durable materials that glow in response to mechanical stress, such as compression, stretching or twisting, and deriving their luminescence from single-celled algae known as dinoflagellates.

Autism-specific metabolic pathways linked to gut microbes
A reanalysis of previous studies has identified autism-specific metabolic pathways associated with particular human gut microbes - these were also seen elsewhere in autistic individuals, from their brain-associated gene expression profiles to their diets.

New research shows HIV can lie dormant in the brain
Researchers in the UNC School of Medicine extracted living brain tissue to conclude that specialized immune cells in the brain can harbour latent but replication-competent HIV.
