These fungi drug cicadas with psilocybin or amphetamine to make them mate nonstop

"The cicada-infecting Massospora cicadina fungus makes an amphetamine called cathinone, which spurs cicadas to mate and spread fungal spores. Other species of the fungus produce psilocybin, more often found in hallucinogenic mushrooms."

"Scientists have discovered a pathway that functions like a car wash to prevent the buildup of a toxic protein associated with Alzheimer's disease."

Body-on-a-chip mimics how organs and cancer cells react to drugs

"A new body-on-a-chip device can hold several different types of human cells and could help scientists quickly and accurately test the intended and unintended effects of drugs."

Graphene and microfluidics used to detect stomach-cancer causing bacteria

"A research team has used graphene and microfluidics to identify stomach-cancer causing bacteria by detecting chemical reactions of the bacteria at the surface of the biosensor. The sensor is highly sensitive and the test only takes half an hour. Further, their approach could be used to also detect other harmful bacteria."
