And perhaps the most unexpected and comforting, recent research confirms that the human brain retains an astonishing degree of plasticity and capacity...
Growing large batches of live virus, however, is a tricky business, and some scientists are turning to genetic engineering to improve the output. Tweak some genes, and you can make a virus that grows more easily in cell cultures. Tweak others, and the virus becomes a better target for the body's immune system...
