La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology via Infection Control Today
The worst of the global Zika virus outbreak may be over, but many key questions remain, such as why the virus persists in certain tissues after the systemic infection has cleared; how does the immune system counteract the virus and protect against reinfection; and what determines the likelihood of long-term complications? New research from La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology lays the groundwork to parse how the virus interacts with its host and causes disease.

Defects and jagged surfaces at the edges of nanosized platinum and gold particles are key hot spots for chemical reactivity, a team of researchers working at the Energy Department's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel confirmed with a unique infrared probe.
Experiments like this should help researchers to customize the structural properties of catalysts to make them more effective in fostering chemical reactions.

People with heightened activity in the amygdala, an area of the brain linked to stress, may be at greater risk of heart disease and stroke, scientists said in research that could lead to new ways to treat stress-related heart problems.
Publishing their work in The Lancet medical journal, the researchers said the stress signaled in the amygdala is also linked to increased bone marrow activity and to inflammation in the arteries, which can cause heart attack and stroke.
