Fatal Attraction: Why Are Flies Drawn to Ultraviolet Light Bug Zappers?

Many animals innately prefer particular wavelengths of light. By genetic dissection of visual circuits, we identified a hard-wired pooling circuit that mediates spectral preference in fruit flies. For...

Tryptophan Biosynthesis Protects Mycobacteria from CD4 T-Cell-Mediated Killing

Eric Rubin and colleagues describe how tuberculosis bacteria undergo metabolic adaptation to survive attempts by CD4 T cells to starve them of tryptophan. They identify a small-molecule inhibitor of t...
