Exposure To Night Light may Increase The Risk Of Leukemia

...t DNA from oxidative damage. Once damaged, DNA may mutate and carcinogenesis may occur. Past research has found a correlation between night workers and an increased risk for breast cancer, further supporting the theory that light at night is a risk factor for leukemia. Researchers conclude saying that if m...

Animals can give us a second chance at life

...ire population at risk from a pig virus that could mutate and spread and kill lots of other people.”Biotech companies are working to eliminate that. They’re breeding pigs they say do not pass on the PERV virus --the one deemed most dangerous to humans. While it may be too early for species to share organs...

New HIV cases resist drugs

...e than one class of drugs. Bacteria are known to mutate to resist drugs, which is why new antibiotics are being developed regularly. But Richman said a virus such as HIV is trickier than any bacteria. The reason is this virus replicates to higher levels at faster rates, so it evolves faster. Once resistan...

Drugs to stop burgeon of HIV

...virus within the host cell."The problem is HIV can mutate to escape the drugs you are using to treat it," said Professor Gage. "If this occurs, the drug will kill off all non-mutated cells leaving only the mutated ones to thrive."Any drug that results from this research will work with the current treatments...

Minor mutations in HIV virus

...eneral Hospital (MGH), published a study-- HIV can mutate key proteins in order to hide from an immune attack. But once these mutations occur they persist. When HIV attacks, the cell alerts the immune system by displaying viral protein fragments on the surface. This is a suicide signal to kill the infected...

Man against HIV – new vaccine ready for human trials

...ctive this could be. The ability of the virus to mutate and survive has made it smart and strong to survive all the initiatives man has taken to eliminate it. The TAT vaccine is the latest hope for man against the virus! Lets hope this works!!...
