$4.4 million NIH grant renews Echinacea and St John's wort research at Iowa State
...searchers will continue to conduct the anti-viral, anti inflammatory and pain receptor studies to see how components can block inflammation by stimulating the receptor to down regulate it. "In the next three years, we'll include emphasis on bioavailability," Birt said. "We don't know if the chemicals w...'Resonance' may explain virologic failure in STI drug therapy
...esearchers suggest. Resonance is observed when the anti retroviral drugs cannot reduce the viral load. "Resonance is a very general phenomenon that has been long known in physics and engineering," Breban said. "We are the first to apply it to virology." "At the beginning of treatment, the patient's viral ...AAAS science literacy project 20th anniversary, Oct. 17-19
With anti evolution advocates trying to insert "intelligent design" into science classrooms, an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) program aimed at improving science literacy and setting standards is now more important than ever as it m...Researchers discover new tumor defense system
..., thereby reducing the potential efficacy of novel anti cancer therapies that rely on a functioning immune system." The free fatty acids act against cytotoxic T lymphocytes by blocking a number of the lymphocytes' signaling events. For example, they keep certain proteins from being phosphorylated and they......carbohydrate chemistry, transdermal drug delivery, anti viral vaccines, inflammatory disease and cancer therapies, bio prospecting, skin therapies and ddRNAi /RNAi developments....
