Cell barrier shows why bird flu not so easily spread among humans

...uman respiratory tract reveals a simple anatomical difference in the cells of the system that makes it difficult for the virus to jump from human to human.

The Icelandic researchers, realizing just how much a cells context matters, used the 3-D cell culture pioneered by Mina Bissell, at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Ca...

Mice studies illustrate potential of chimp/human antibodies to protect against smallpox

...ntibodies did not lose weight. Since there was no difference in the protective abilities between the two hybrid antibodies, the researchers used 8AH8AL to determine the minimum effective dose. Groups of mice were given decreasing doses--90, 45 and 22.5 micrograms per mouse--of 8AH8AL or a single 5-mg dose of h...

Antioxidant selenium offers no heart-disease protection
