Such devices can help the nervous system recover after devastating spinal cord injury. <em>--by Melissa Crytzer Fry</em></p><p><a href="http://researchstories.asu.edu/2009/03/stimulated_to_heal.html">read more</a></p> http://researchstories.asu.edu/2009/03/stimulated_to_heal.html#comments Bioengineering Center for Adaptive Neural Systems James Abbas Melissa Crytzer Fry NIH Ranu Jung Research Magazine Science Foundation Arizona Spring 2009 Tempe campus Health and Medical Engineering Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:47:39 -0600 pkrecker 733 at http://researchstories.asu.edu http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/05/symbionts_and_the_city.html <p>Microbial symbionts live in the guts of animals, the interiors of corals, and the roots of plants. They help plants take up nutrients and help cows break down cellulose, but they can also be harmful to their hosts. Stan Faeth wants to understand the relationship between symbionts, their hosts, and their role in everything from conservation to cancer cures. <em>--by Margaret Coulombe</em></p><p><a href="http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/05/symbionts_and_the_city.html">read more</a></p> http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/05/symbionts_and_the_city.html#comments Environment Margaret Coulombe NIH NSF Research Magazine Spring/summer 2008 Stan Faeth Tempe campus Ecology Microbiology Life Sciences Mon, 26 May 2008 11:00:00 -0600 pkrecker 809 at http://researchstories.asu.edu http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/05/space_ills_and_earth_cures.html <p><span class="inline inline-left"><img src="http://researchstories.asu.edu/files/images/salmonellasm.jpg" alt="" title="" class="image image-_original " width="100" height="100" /></span>Scientists have learned plenty about how life in outer space affects the human body. But what about germs and other nasty microorganisms?
