The compound was tested on female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are responsible for spreading dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever

Science

Experimental compound stops mosquitoes from feeding, by making them feel full

It goes without saying that when your appetite is satiated, you're no longer interested in eating. Well, scientists have devised a method of artificially inducing that "full" feeling in mosquitoes, thus keeping them from going after humans for blood meals.

Neuroscientists have created a breakthrough tool that uses a special light-sculpting technique to record the activity of neurons in a mouse's brain

Biology

Light sculpting technique records neurons firing inside a mouse's brain

Rockefeller University researchers have taken a step closer to achieving the current "holy grail" of brain science – the ability to look into a living brain and see all the neurons firing in real time, with the subject free to move around and perform tasks.

"If this could be used as a treatment one day, it is conceivable that patients would only need to take traditional drugs until the virus is controlled"

Human immune system proteins shown to suppress HIV

Scientists have discovered that a combination of potent antibodies could neutralize HIV and lead to new therapies.
