Malaria makes mosquitoes more likely to suck human blood
Time of Update: 2020-12-14
Mosquitoes infected with the immature stage malaria parasite eat less to stay away from danger.
Of the mosquitoes carrying the malaria parasite, 77 per cent had been feeding on humans.
This proportion is 64 per cent among mosquitoes carrying malaria parasites that are not infected.

Take a look at how immune cells dig tunnels in tissues
Time of Update: 2020-12-11
"It has not been clear how immune cells migrate and their search strategies in extracellular substrings, and there is a greater interest in physics and biology at the moment." "Our findings suggest that the regulatory properties of tissue ECM will have an impact on the efficiency of the immune response and may lead to new treatment strategies for cancer treatment," said senior study author Heiko Rieger of the University of Saar.
