Some bats eat a ton of sugar and have no health woes. Are there lessons for diabetes?
From NPR, Stowers Postdoctoral Researcher Jasmin Camacho, Ph.D., wants to know which molecules bats are using during exercise to regulate their blood sugar in order to bring their glucose levels down. And she’s curious about how they protect their bodies from accumulating the kind of damage to their cells and DNA that usually comes from digesting a lot of sugar.

Dengue Uses Nonoptimal Codons to Invade Human and Mosquito Cells
From Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News, new research from the Stowers Institute investigated the adaptation of virus genomes to the host optimality code. To do that, they used mosquito-borne dengue virus as a model. The findings uncovered strategies that dengue (and other viruses) use to replicate in their hosts, with the potential to aid in developing novel antiviral treatments and vaccines.
