Researchers discover new details about HIV-1 entry and infection

...n Hladik and colleagues in the McElrath laboratory developed a unique model system to study the precise mechanisms by which HIV-1 enters the lower reproductive tract of human females. The researchers separated and removed the outer lining of vaginal cells, which serves as the first barrier to the virus. The is...

Intravenous nanoparticle gene therapy shows activity in stage IV lung cancer

...those cells. The FUS1 nanoparticle formulation was developed and tested in Roth's lab. It advanced to phase I clinical trial after a promising test on human non-small cell lung cancer in a mouse model. FUS1 was discovered by a research team led by Roth at M. D. Anderson and by John Minna, M.D., of the De...

Ongoing research has already produced some computer progra...

Stopping plants from getting sick

...lant, meaning the right kind of fungicide might be developed to target that ability and block infection. "These pathogens provide us with the best of both worlds in terms of research ?we can study them in the field, but we can also bring them to the laboratory and isolate the genes that allow them to infect...

Cancer researchers add spice to research against rare neuromuscular disease

...h needs to be done to see if the compound could be developed into a drug to help people with the disease, scientists say it's a promising development in a field where progress has been slow. The research by scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center appears in the March 6 issue of the journal ...
