How to Avoid the Tripledemic of Respiratory Diseases This Winter
[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “Tripledemic“ jumped into our vocabulary and lives last year, referring to the winter surges of three respiratory viruses—RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), flu (influenza), and COVID-19. The tripledemic of 2022 infected millions, overwhelmed hospital systems, and killed more than 100,000 people in the U.S. over the 4-month peak span of these viruses.

What turns an ant into a soldier or a forager? It may be all in their heads
Most worker carpenter ants have one of two fates: They either become foragers who look for food or soldiers who defend the nest. Levels of key hormones influence which role they crawl into. Now, a new study shows the ants’ blood-brain barrier plays a crucial role in this decision, regulating how much of one critical hormone seeps into developing ants’ brains by actively breaking it down. The findings, published last week in Cell , suggest the blood-brain barrier may play a previously unappreciated role in influencing social behavior in animals , including mammals, the authors argue. “[The study]...
