Several minute intermediate stage in virus-cell fusion discovered; opportunity for drug development

...ou until there's enough pressure in the airlock to allow it to open all the way." Melikyan explained, "The pore is an unstable structure at that moment: some pores will open and some won't. It's a crucial point in viral entry because it's critical for the pore to enlarge sufficiently for the genetic mater...

Biota makes major antiviral discovery

...re effective when administered orally. This should allow the product to be developed in a convenient oral formulation, such as a tablet or suspension. "The discovery of a novel, orally available RSV antiviral is a major achievement," said Dr Simon Tucker, Vice President of Research for Biota. "Others, inc...

Newly Discovered Role for Heart Response Enzyme May Yield Better Heart Failure Therapy

...rt failure, in which heart receptors that normally allow the heart to adapt in the face of changing conditions are lost, rendering the heart unable to pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body's other organs," said cardiologist and geneticist Howard Rockman, M.D., of Duke. "If we could prevent this l...

Public release of pig genomic sequences

"A test for TACI would allow for diagnosis of more children and their relatives," says Geha, senior author of the study and a professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. "Many children who are sick are now missed, because they can have normal IgA and IgG levels, yet they ...

Toxic flood lifts lid on common urban pollution problem

...aid. Increasingly affordable "permeable pavements" allow runoff to be stored, evaporate or percolate through pavement and into the ground, where soil and microorganisms can help filter the contaminants. Planting vegetation and especially trees also creates aesthetically pleasing buffer zones, providing sto...

New study shows SARS can infect brain tissue

... carefully and on an individual basis, as they may allow amplification of the SARS coronavirus in the brain. "Superinfection" with other pathogens could also contribute to SARS' harmful effects on the brain. "Physicians should pay more attention to the prevention of brain damage if [SARS patients] are supe...

Trio of plant genes prevent 'too many mouths'

...scopic pores on the surface of plants that open to allow plants to take in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis. They close when there is the danger that the plant tissue may lose too much moisture. "Specialized cells open and close the stomata, much like opening and closing a mouth," says Keiko...

Learning how SARS spikes its quarry

A radical solution for environmental pollution

... and Qiao investigated the chemical reactions that allow the bacterium Thauera aromatica to live on toluene as its sole source of carbon and energy. "Toluene is a by-product of oil refining, so there's quite a lot of environmental contamination with this and related hydrocarbons, from refineries or chemic...

Enzyme affects hypertension by controlling salt levels in body

...ting tiny pores, or channels, in kidney cells that allow increased levels of sodium to be reabsorbed into the blood, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. The findings shed light on the underlying mechanisms that cause hypertension, and may also help explain why patients with hypertensi...

Cells direct membrane traffic by channel width

... channels in cell walls in all forms of life. They allow for water movement between the cell and its environment. A subfamily of aquaporins allows slightly larger molecules, such as glycerol, to pass, too. In humans, 11 aquaporins have been identified, mostly in the kidney, brain and lens of the eye. Impai...

Surgical Robot 'Scrubs In' At UNC, May Be More Precise Than Conventional Surgery

...rms have wrists with eight degrees of freedom that allow the surgeon "to bend around corners and work in ways that are much more natural," said Boggess. This allows full range of motion and the ability to rotate instruments 360 degrees through tiny incisions. Direct and natural hand-eye instrument alignmen...
