Research advances quest for HIV-1 vaccine
Scientists have uncovered new information that may help guide design of vaccines for HIV-1, the virus that causes AIDS. A new detailed structural analysis of the complex formed by an anti-HIV antibody called 4E10 and its specific target provides insight into why this particular antibody is so broadly effective, a rare characteristic for HIV discovered thus far. The research is published in the Fe...Inexpensive, mass-produced genes core of synthetic biology advances at UH

But now, a recent study at Harvard Medical School has shown...Scientific study suggests that the much famed tanning salons, which employes sunbeds to achieve tanning could increase the chances of a number of more common skin cancers. However, research published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute claims to have found a relationship between// tanning lamps and many types of skin cancer like basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma...
Innovative device aids in advanced heart failure
A mesh jacket positioned around the heart improves function in patients with advanced heart failure. Researchers at the University of New York felt that in heart failure, the heart enlarges and is unable to effectively pump blood around the body.// Commonly, the heart valves are damaged too. Heart failure is a progressive condition, with no cure other than a transplant - although it can be manage...Advanced STD programs required
There is always a question of how effective are programs intended to reduce the number of people with sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. That is the question researchers from Scotland set out to answer in a study reported //in this month's Archives of Internal Medicine. The answer they come up with is, essentially, that it'sdiifficult to say. More than 1,500 studies were g...Light therapy devotes new hope in advanced lung cancer
Light therapy given during surgery extends survival time in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Life expectancy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is often measured only in months, for the disease is very hard to treat, especially when it has spread// to the chest wall. In a new approach, doctors at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, have tried photodynamic therapy (PDT)...Advance at Medicine Products
