The Greene laboratory also previously showed that early treatment of Her2/neu tumors with targeted monoclonal antibodies in animal models ...

AIDS drug from sunflowers

... quinic acid, or DCQA for short ?the highly prized prototype for a new group of AIDS drugs. One million euros per gram 'Dicaffeoyl quinic acid can prevent the HI virus from reproducing, at least in cell cultures,' explains Claudio Cerboncini, who is now working at the caesar research centre. 'It is one o...

New lab technique churns out fungus' potential cancer fighter

...compound might have some tremendous potential as a prototype anticancer agent, but no one has been able to study or develop it because it's so hard to get enough of it from natural sources," says Robert K. Boeckman, professor of chemistry. "You either grow the fungus that makes it, or you go through a compli...

Snakes' virtual glasses, leopard spots and all-optical transistors

... Belfast appear to have solved the problems with a prototype optical amplifier that is both small and low power. The key to the device is a layer of gold film pierced by an array of holes 0.2 millionths of a meter in diameter and coated in a layer of polymer. The researchers shine two beams of light on the str...

Beauty and the brain
