ASU Study in Ethiopia Reveals How Adenoviruses Move in Monkeys
Understanding Adenoviruses in the Wild A recent study led by researchers at Arizona State University sheds light on how adenoviruses behave in wild primates, focusing on a population of monkeys in Ethiopia. Adenoviruses, a common group of viruses that can cause cold- and flu-like symptoms, are found across humans and closely related primates. By examining…

Adenoviruses in Ethiopian Monkeys: ASU Transmission Study
Overview: Why Studying Adenoviruses in Ethiopian Monkeys Matters Adenoviruses are common infections that can cause cold and flu-like symptoms in humans. They also circulate among non-human primates, including monkeys in Africa, where close contact with humans and other wildlife can influence how these viruses spread and evolve. A recent study led by researchers from Arizona…

Bacteria Move Without Flagella: Sugar-Fueled Currents and Molecular Gearboxes
Unveiling a New Kind of Bacterial Motion Bacteria are renowned for their tiny flagella — whip-like propellers that broadcast their desire to roam. Yet a growing body of research from Arizona State University is changing that narrative. Scientists are documenting how bacteria can move without traditional flagella, employing less obvious tools such as sugar-fueled currents…

Flagella-Free Bacteria Movement: Sugar Currents and Gearboxes
What’s new in bacterial movement For decades, scientists have described bacterial motion as a simple story of tiny propellers—the flagella—that propel single cells through liquids. But fresh research from Arizona State University is reshaping that narrative. The studies uncover how some bacteria can move without their flagella, harnessing sugar-fueled currents and intricate molecular gear systems…
