Single Gene Transfer Creates Novel Courtship Behavior in Fruit Flies
Japanese scientists at Nagoya University transferred the courtship behavior of regurgitating food from Drosophila subobscura to Drosophila melanogaster by manipulating the fru gene, demonstrating that a single gene change can cause a significant behavioral shift between species.

Virtual Sickness Triggers Immune Response: VR Study
A Swiss study used virtual reality to show that simply being near virtual sick people activated the immune systems of healthy participants, increasing innate lymphoid cell activity; researchers suggest VR may be a promising addition to other immune-boosting tools.
