Interferons For Treatment Of SARS? (p 293)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that recombinant interferons - synthetic versions of naturally occurring compounds of the immune system - could be a an effective treatment for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Although antivirals are probably essential for the treatment of SARS-CoV infection, the... view more... (2003-07-23)
New Clorox disinfectant is EPA registered to kill both known types of MRSA
While MRSA has been an issue in healthcare settings for years, CA-MRSA outbreaks in the community have been on the rise, with the greatest risk in community settings such as fitness clubs, in sports teams, at schools and daycare centers. view more (2008-05-06)
SARS - the first comprehensive description of the damage caused by the virus
Research News in the Journal of Pathology Doctors working near to the first outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) Guangdong, China, have just published the first histopathological description of the effects of this viral infection in the Journal of Pathology. Basing their findings on autopsies of three people who died of SARS, Dr... view more... (2003-06-30)

Keep genome data freely accessible (p 1099)
This week's lead editorial discusses the benefits and potential risks of allowing genomic information to be freely available on the internet-and supports the recent report by the US National Research Council recommending that such information should remain freely accessible to all. view more (2004-09-22)
Emerging Infectious Diseases Of Wildlife - Microbiology Today: November 2003 issue
Wildlife is an important source of diseases that are a risk to the health of man and his domesticated stock. This was very clearly demonstrated earlier this year when the masked palm civet was implicated as a possible wild animal source for the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) coronavirus. In the November 2003 issue of Microbiology Today... view more... (2003-10-28)
In-shell vaccine for chick disease
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) causes losses of £23.6M a year to the UK poultry industry but scientists are now developing a new way to vaccinate chicks against the disease - one that can be delivered while they are still in their egg. view more (2007-01-05)
'Paper of the Year' winner announced (p 2101)
Results of a search for the most important biomedical research papers of the past year are announced in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The Lancet's 24-member International Advisory Board put forward the nominations-which could be from any source, not just THE LANCET. The winning paper, chosen by the journal's editors, is: Noah A Rosenberg... view more... (2003-12-17)
Viruses hitch a ride in the cell
Viruses can travel around cells they infect by hitching a ride on a microscopic transport system, according to new research. Cells are exposed to foreign DNA and RNA and it is understood that some of this genetic material can be integrated into the host genome. Using modern microscopic techniques, scientists have been able to see how virus DNA is... view more... (2008-06-24)
