| Posted: 08 Mar 2012 02:47 PM PST Researchers have successfully flushed latent HIV infection from hiding, with a drug used to treat certain types of lymphoma.  |
| Powerful tool to measure metabolites in living cells Posted: 08 Mar 2012 11:31 AM PST By engineering cells to express a modified RNA called "Spinach," researchers have imaged small-molecule metabolites in living cells and observed how their levels change over time. Metabolites are the products of individual cell metabolism. The ability to measure their rate of production could be used to recognize a cell gone metabolically awry, as in cancer, or identify the drug that can restore the cell's metabolites to normal.  |
| Protein folding: Understanding the dance of the chaperones Posted: 08 Mar 2012 10:27 AM PST Proteins are the molecular building blocks and machinery of cells and involved in practically all biological processes. To fulfill their tasks, they need to be folded into a complicated three-dimensional structure. Scientists have now analyzed one of the key players of this folding process: the molecular chaperone DnaK.  |
| HIV/AIDS vaccine shows long-term protection against multiple exposures in non-human primates Posted: 07 Mar 2012 03:51 PM PST Scientists have developed a vaccine that has protected nonhuman primates against multiple exposures to simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) given in three clusters over more than three years. SIV is the nonhuman primate version of HIV.  |
