A molecule consisting of two "cages" of metallic atoms bound to carbon has shown great promise in preliminary tests of becoming a new weapon in the anti-HIV arsenal, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center report. The molecule - called metallacarborane - and its variants appear to fight HIV protease, an enzyme critical in the virus' life cycle. Protease inhibitors are some of the key drugs...Preventing a pandemic: Study suggests strategies for containing a flu outbreak
Though quick to caution about the many things that could go wrong, researchers say that it may be possible to contain a Southeast Asian outbreak of avian influenza in humans, buying precious time for the production of a vaccine. Using a computer model to simulate an outbreak in a rural Southeast Asian population, the scientists have shown how a combination of strategies, including targeted...Rapid response was crucial to containing the 1918 flu pandemic
One of the persistent riddles of the deadly 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic is why it struck different cities with varying severity. Why were some municipalities such as St. Louis spared the fate of the hard-hit cities like Philadelphia when both implemented similar public health measures? What made the difference, according to two independent studies funded by the National Institutes of Health (...Rabbit Anti-WW domain-containing oxidoreductase Antibody, Unconjugated from ABR-Affinity BioReagents

Sterol containing pills, a plant constituent, can help lower cholesterol levels report researchers at Washington University School of Medicine. Sterol closely resembles cholesterol structure// and is competitively absorbed from the intestine. This leads to an increased cholesterol absorption that minimizes weight gain. However, for plant-based sterol to be absorbed, it should be a soluble...Food Packaging Containing Latex May Trigger an Allergic Reaction
It is important to label the Food packaging that contains latex, which will certainly prevent the allergic to avoid contact. // A novel study conducted in the UK showed that nearly a third of food packaging was containing unhealthy levels of latex, and in a certain chocolate biscuit, the quantity of latex was so high to have triggered an allergic reaction. A group of experts from the UK...Starbucks Stops Using Dairy Products Containing RBGH
Starbucks are now determined to stop the use of dairy products containing the recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) at all of their stores. //Several dairy products like milk, half and half, whipped cream, eggnog etc., which contain rBGH are no longer in use in Starbucks - Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Arkansas, Montana, North Carolina and Nebraska stores. It has decided to switch over...Tea Tree Oil-containing Beauty Products may Contribute to MRSA Increase
