Dr. Attygalle provides new insight into how certain parasites locate host ants

Ants communicate using chemical signals, often called pheromones, that enable them to swarm in response to danger or quickly congregate on a picnic blanket. These cues, according to Dr. Athula Attygalle of Stevens Institute of Technology, may also signal fly parasites that rely on ants as hosts. ...read more

NIH funded collaborative research adds computational models of swarm intelligence based neural networks to tissue engineering.

As technology advances towards complex tissue engineering methods, scientists are hitting a ceiling on how accurate computer models can simulate tissue grafts grown to repair a patient's damaged tissues. The National Institute of Health (NIH) has recently awarded a grant to researche ...read more
