Drug Blocks Two Of World's Deadliest Emerging Viruses
Drug Blocks Two Of World's Deadliest Emerging Viruses
Two highly lethal viruses that have emerged in recent outbreaks are susceptible to chloroquine, an established drug used to prevent and treat malaria, according to a new basic science study in the Journal of Virology.
Protein Encourages Cell Growth And Migration In Prostate Cancer
Researchers have identified a protein, proepithelin, that appears to play a significant role in the growth and migration of prostate cancer cells, especially androgen-independent prostate cancer cells.
Sudden Collapse Of Healthy Athletes May Be Due To Hereditary Cardiac Disease
When young, apparently healthy athletes suddenly collapse, it can be due to hereditary cardiac disease. Researchers have now discovered a genetic modification that leads to cardiac weakness in an animal model. Just one "false" amino acid can give zebrafish a heart condition. Since the fish have a genetic makeup similar to that of humans, these defects could be critical for humans as well.
Barbara Bush expected to make good recovery
The surgeon who performed heart surgery Wednesday on former first lady Barbara Bush said Thursday that she is recovering well from the 2 1/2-hour surgery in which her aortic valve was replaced with a pig valve.
