Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder published a study in Nature that sheds light on the precise mechanism behind the radiation-induced bystander effect.

Cows are leaving the pasture and entering the field of HIV vaccine research. As outlined in a study published recently in Nature, lead author Devin Sok, director of antibody discovery and development at the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, reports the elicitation of powerful, HIV-blocking antibodies in cows in a matter of weeks — a process that usually takes years in humans. The unexpected animal model is providing clues for important questions at a moment when new energy has infused HIV vaccine research.

New research from the National Institute of Health examines the link between positive social interactions and the effect on the body, as scientists seek to understand if outside influences can help a cancer patient's chance of survival. The study found that cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy had a slightly better chance of surviving for more than five years if they interacted with other patients during treatment who also survived after five years.
