    Cancer cells may sense immune surveillance and actively adapt

    Researchers propose a new theory of how cancer cells actively adopt adaptive evasion tactics in response to immune recognition, resulting in the loss of tumour antigens and ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ tumours.

    Bats’ high-risk, high-gain hunting tactics increase prey profitability

    Greater mouse-eared bats prefer to risk failure by hunting evasive, calorie-rich ground insects, but they will switch to more easily caught aerial insects according to environmental changes.
