Vincent Racaniello selects several notable posts each week from molecular and cellular biology and virology. He blogs at virology blog.
- How did Leishmaniasis reach the highland desert of Northern Chile 1000 years ago if the parasite requires tropical mammals as a host?
- Chameleon camoflage is not a myth: these critters do change color to camouflage themselves from predators
- A new anti-cancer role for p53: it enhances the post-transcriptional maturation of several miRNAs with growth-suppressive function
I’ll be back next Friday with more selections.
