Cancer Cells Hibernate To Evade the Effects of Chemotherapy
In a new paper published in Cell, researchers report that all cancer cells – rather than just a subset – have the ability to switch to a protective state in response to a threat, such as chemotherapy.

Mechanical Gut Simplifies Infection Studies
Researchers have found a way to mimic conditions in intestines, giving them a mechanical model for the real-time growth of bacterial infections. This simplifies simulations of the human intestine, making it more practical to find treatments for diseases like infectious diarrhea.

Kondo Effect "Proof" Called Into Question
Researchers have shown that the Kondo effect cannot be proven beyond doubt by using scanning tunneling microscopy as previously thought. Instead, another phenomenon is creating precisely the spectroscopic "fingerprint" that was previously attributed to the Kondo effect.

Where Did Antibiotic Resistance Come From Originally?
By comparing thousands of bacterial genomes, scientists have traced back the evolutionary history of antibiotic resistance genes. In almost all cases where an origin could be determined, the gene started to spread from bacteria that, themselves, can cause disease.
