Within days the stem of a fungus sprouts from the dead ant's head. After growing a stalk,
the fungus casts spores to the ground below, where they can be picked up by other passing ants.
About two to three days later a fungal stalk will start to emerge from the back of the ant's head.
After maturing over the course of weeks the stalk's head will shoot spores onto the soil below.
Researchers have discovered also that this relatively slow-growing fungus can have its main stem broken off and regrow it later.
The death of an ant outside of its colony and subsequent growth of the fungal stalk might be key adaptations of the fungus,
so that dying in the nest would not allow sufficient time for stalk development and spore release before the dead host ant was ejected,
Andersen and her colleagues have found that a different breed of fungi grow over the ant corpse and the emerging fungus stalk.
By covering the original fungus and its stalk, this secondary fungus or hyperparasite effectively prevents the zombie-ant fungus from ejecting its spores.

but the make-up of its cap and stem vary between strains. In the study, a vaccine for H1n2 spurred pigs to produce antibodies that bound the cap and the stem of that virus s haemagglutinin.
But some of those antibodies also targeted the stem of H1n1 s haemagglutinin protein, helping that virus fuse to cell membranes.
That made H1n1 more efficient at infecting pigs and causing disease. The finding may give some vaccine developers pause.
Much of the work to develop a universal flu vaccine has targeted the stems of haemagglutinin proteins

In the future such a clone could be a source of stem cells for super-personalized therapies made from people's own DNA.
The stem cells in the cell line could become several different types of adult cells just like natural stem cells.
In the future stem cells made in this way will compete with another method of creating personalized stem cells.
Researchers previously showed they are able to transform adult skin cells directly into stem cells with no stop for a transfer into an egg along the way.
