How do bats live with so many viruses? New bat stem cells hint at an answer
Compared with other mammals, bats are notorious for hosting more viruses that are dangerous to people but not themselves. It’s an oddity that’s drawn renewed attention since COVID-19 broke out in humans—many scientists suspect the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 leaped from bats into people, directly or via an intermediate host. Seeking to create large quantities of bat tissue to help study why the flying animals are so virus-friendly, a research team now reports it has transformed adult bat cells into versatile stem cells that can be coaxed to form many kinds of tissue . The advance, described today in Cell ...

News at a glance: New gene therapy, Europe ’s drought, and a black hole’s photon ring
ARCHAEOLOGY Drought exposes ‘Spanish Stonehenge’ for study Scientists are rushing to examine a 7000-year-old stone circle in central Spain that had been drowned by a reservoir for decades and was uncovered after the drought plaguing Europe lowered water levels. Nicknamed the “Spanish Stonehenge”—although 2000 years older than the U.K. stone circle—the Dolmen of Guadalperal (above) was described by archaeologists in the 1920s. The approximately 100 standing stones, up to 1.8 meters tall and arranged around an oval open space, were submerged in the Valdecañas reservoir after the construction of a ...

Leading in Time of COVID: A True Test of Leadership
By Folake OlayinkaAug 15 2020 (IPS) In 1918, the Spanish Flu, a deadly influenza caused by the H1N1 virus, decimated the world. Over the course of four successive waves, it infected 500 million people, about a third of the world’s population at the time, resulting in 50 million deaths. More recently between 2014 and mid-2016 , the Ebola virus epidemic was the most widespread outbreak of Ebola virus disease in history—causing devastating  loss of life and socioeconomic disruption in the West Africa region, mainly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. These outbreaks, as well as SARS and MERS, each have provided lessons...

Host immune responses to influenza infection and vaccines
Before the ravaging appearance of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, influenza viruses have been among the major players in the history of health disasters over the past century.1,2 Because the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic claimed more than 50 million lives followed by annual resurgence of varying degrees of morbidity and mortality, the influenza vaccine program has driven platform development and global collaborative surveillance networks. These networks support the definition of antigenic shifts that drive annual vaccine specificities for manufacturing responses.
