09-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Technion have recorded the entire genomic expression of a host bacterium and infecting virus over the eight-hour course of infection. Their study leads them to speculate that the meeting between a marine bacterial host and its virus may be not just a battle between individuals, but an evolutionarily significant exchange that helps both species become more fit for life in the harsh ocean environment.

- First impressions: Computer model behaves like humans on visual categorization task
04-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
In a new MIT study, a computer model designed to mimic how the brain itself processes visual information performs as well as humans do on rapid categorization tasks. This study supports the hypothesis that rapid categorization happens without feedback from cognitive or other areas of the brain. The results also indicate that the model can help neuroscientists make predictions and drive new experiments to explore brain mechanisms involved in human visual perception, cognition and behavior.

- In nature -- and maybe the corner office -- scientists find that generalists can thrive
01-30-2008 · EurekAlert!
The assignment of duties in a single cell, ocean life or even a small business does not have to be defined by a division of labor where every individual has a specific role, according to biologists at Ohio State University. The scientists have designed a mathematical model to describe circumstances that would allow generalists to endure in what is typically expected to be a specialist-only society, according to theory.

- Researchers create artificial enzyme that mimics the body's internal engine
03-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) is the ultimate enzyme responsible for all aerobic life on Earth. It's also a crucial component of the cellular machinery that generates energy in our body. Now Stanford University scientists have built a new model of the enzyme's active site that could one day help researchers gain insights into the causes of cancer and other major diseases, and might even prove useful in the development of new forms of alternative energy.
