HIV-infected adults in Botswana respond positively to ARV therapy public treatment program

...parable results to those in the developed world. A fully supported health care delivery system and infrastructure help ensure this success, according to data published in November 2005 issue of the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes (JAIDS). More than 95 percent of HIV-infected people live in...

Cancer support cells may evolve, fuel tumor growth, study shows

... the study authors said further work aimed at more fully understanding the signals, their pathways and the cells' responses was needed. They said their findings underscore the dynamic complexity of cell-to-cell interactions and the changing selective microenvironment that drives cancer development. ...

Same-sex mating by fungi spawned infection outbreak, evidence suggests

...ter infection, some of these people still have not fully recovered. "The fungus appears to have become entrenched in the Vancouver Island area," he added. "It is unlikely to disappear, and all indications are that it is spreading. Our findings suggest that sex played a role in the expanded geographic rang...

Missing fossil link 'Dallasaurus' found

...tionary twist: a land-dwelling species that became fully aquatic. Turner took the remains to paleontologists at the Dallas Museum of Natural History, but it took several years before scientists dubbed the find Dallasaurus turneri. Word of Dallasaurus is now reaching the scientific community with a special...

First big influenza genome study reveals flu evolution

...ated the influenza virus in 1933, they still don't fully understand how the virus evolves. Influenza is an RNA virus that contains eight separate RNA segments encoding genes for at least 11 proteins. This structure explains why the influenza virus constantly reassorts genetically. When two different influe...

'Nanospheres' that block pain of sensitive teeth

...sharp pain. If these channels (or 'tubules') are fully or partially blocked, the flow can be reduced and the pain stopped or significantly reduced. Currently, the only way to treat this condition is through good dental hygiene - using special toothpastes and fluorine mouthwashes which encourage re-minera...

NRL scientists detect 'milky sea' phenomena

Although such observations cannot be fully explained based on the known features of any light-emitting organism, these so-called "milky seas" are hypothesized to be manifestations of strong bioluminescence produced by colonies of bacteria associated with a microalgal bloom in the surface wate...

Normal chromosome ends elicit a limited DNA damage response

...A, they hypothesize, the repair process never gets fully underway at telomeres. Instead, the very tips of the chromosomes are looped back, tucked in and covered with telomeric proteins. "The cell tries to fix everything to make sure that the genetic information is safe and complete for the next generation...

Researchers discover why melanoma is so malignant

CO2 sensing proves critical for fungal pathogens to adapt to life in air and human hosts

...se and respond to CO2 at the cellular level is not fully understood, but it is of great importance in understanding the biology of microbes, plants, and animals alike. For example, CO2 levels govern the detection of prey by female mosquitoes, control respiration in mammals, and of course play a critical re...

Cut a piece that is 1/279th the size of the animal, and it too will regrow into a complete worm. The process, scientists know, is dependent on stem cells in the adult planaria known as neoblasts...

A bug's life: Exceptional genomic stability yet rapid protein evolution in a carpenter ant mutualist
