...group, use hydrophones (underwater microphones) to eavesdrop on fish gossip at night. Together, the Cornell "midshipman crew" hopes to learn how courtship signals are encoded in the brain and what it is about one love hum that makes it more attractive than another.

... the behavior of pathogens, scientists are able to eavesdrop on the cross talk between invading microbes and the immune cells of our body," says Richard Young of the Whitehead Institute of Biomedical Research. Youngs lab has done this using DNA microarrays to explore the responses of human macrophages to a var...Scientists discuss microbial pathogenesis in era of bioterrorism, drug resistance
...hard Young has been using gene array technology to eavesdrop on the cross talk between invading microbes and the immune cells of our body. His lab has been exploring the responses of human macrophages and dendritic cells to a variety of bacteria. Macrophages and dendritic cells, immune cells that are part of...UCLA scientists eavesdrop on cellular conversations by making mice 'glow' with firefly protein

To eavesdrop on these cellular conversations, graduate student Chris Harbison from Young's lab and postdoctoral researcher Ben Gordon from Fraenkel's lab combined the latest biological tools with new computational methods. Harbison took yeast cells and subjected...
