    How some sea slugs keep their ability to carry out plant-like photosynthesis

    Study provides strong evidence of mechanisms in sea slugs that allow them to host and protect chloroplasts ingested from their food, thereby maintaining their ability to photosynthesise.

    How immune cells can recognise – and control – HIV when therapy is interrupted

    New findings reveal how HIV-1-specific immune cells can recognise viral particles that have the capacity to rebound following interruptions to antiretroviral therapy, with implications for new treatment strategies.
