Scientists have identified proteins in aphid saliva that can alter plant development. These proteins drive abnormal growths called galls, which give insects a protected place to feed and reproduce.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: HHMI Commits $30 Million to Increase Diversity in Science with 21 Hanna Gray Fellows
HHMI announces the selection of 21 exceptional early career scientists as 2020 Hanna Gray Fellows to support diversity in biomedical research. The 2022 Hanna H. Gray Fellows Program competition will open later this year.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Recording the Symphony of Cellular Signals That Drive Biology
Like a computer, cells must process information from the outside world before they respond. Scientists have now developed a powerful new way to observe the internal discussions responsible for cellular decisions.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: COVID-19 Immunity May Last Six Months or More
People who have recovered from coronavirus can make potent antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 that evolve in the months after infection. These antibodies may be evolving in response to residual viral antigen hidden in the gut.

HHMI announces the selection of 15 exceptional early career scientists as 2019 HHMI Hanna Gray Fellows to support diversity in biomedical research. The 2020 Hanna H. Gray Fellows Program competition is now open. Applications are due on January 8, 2020.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: “DNA Microscopy” Offers Entirely New Way to Image Cells
Rather than relying on optics, the microscopy system offers a chemically encoded way to map biomolecules’ relative positions.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: 3-D Cell Environment Crucial for Divvying Up Chromosomes – Find Could Help Explain Cancer Hallmark
Epithelial cells grown on a plastic dish are worse at segregating their chromosomes than epithelial cells growing in mice, a new study shows. The results may help explain why chromosomes go awry in cancer.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Detailed Structure Illuminates Brain-Enhancing Drug’s Action
A drug that reverses the effects of a cellular stress response restores learning and memory in mice with concussions. Now researchers can see the atomic-scale details of how the drug interacts with its protein target.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Mosquito Brain Atlas Aims to Reveal Neural Circuitry of Behavior
HHMI researchers have built mosquitobrains.org, the first map of the female mosquito brain. The new resource may ultimately uncover the circuitry behind biting and other behaviors.
