Resistant HIV quickly hides in infants' cells
New evidence shows that drug-resistant virus passed from mother-to-child can quickly establish itself in infants' CD4+ T cells where it can hide for years, likely limiting their options for future treatment. view more (2007-05-01)
Antibiotic Resistance Could Increase Rates Of UK Gonorrhoea Infection (p 1867)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET are calling for UK gonorrhoea treatment guidelines to be revised in light of new evidence showing a steep increase in antibiotic resistance. After chlamydia, gonorrhoea is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK. The symptoms include pain when passing... view more... (2003-05-28)
Support for chromosomal theory of cancer found in cancers' development of drug resistance
Thirty-six years into the war on cancer, scientists have not only failed to come up with a cure, but most of the newer drugs suffer from the same problems as those available in the pre-war days: serious toxicity, limited effectiveness and eventual resistance. view more (2007-06-28)
Why are the best malaria drugs not being used in Africa?
Despite changes in policy in many African countries, most cases of malaria are still treated with old drugs that often fail, say researchers in this week's BMJ. view more (2005-09-30)
Combination Drug Therapy Offers Hope For Malaria Treatment (pp 3, 9, 18)
Two articles and a Commentary in this week's issue highlight how combination therapy offers the best hope for tackling drug resistance for the millions of people worldwide affected by malaria. Drug resistance is the main barrier to effective malaria treatment. Artemisinin (extract of sweet wormwood , commonly used in Chinese herbal medicine) and... view more... (2003-12-30)
Developing 'green' tires that boost mileage and cut carbon dioxide emissions
A new generation of "green" automobile tires that can boost fuel efficiency without sacrificing safety and durability is rolling their way through the research pipeline. view more (2009-11-19)
Study uncovers mechanism of drug resistance in form of lung cancer
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers and their colleagues have demonstrated that a genetic error so scarce it can't be detected with some standard screening equipment is often responsible for the loss of effectiveness of front-line drugs against non-small cell lung cancer. view more (2006-09-07)
human genetic Databases and Resistance to Antibiotics - two Lords Reports to Be Published 29th March
The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee will publish two reports on health-related issues on Thursday 29th March. The first report, Human Genetic Databases, published at 0001 hrs, will consider the challenges and opportunities in the fast-moving field of genetics and health. Value will be derived from new knowledge about the sequence... view more... (2001-03-27)
Nightshades: 'overflowing' with Phytophthora resistant genes?
The potato and other related varieties of the Solanum species contain scores or perhaps even hundreds of genes that can give the plant a degree of resistance to 'potato blight', a disease caused by Phytophthora infestans. This is one of the conclusions that came to light in Vivianne Vleeshouwers' thesis, with which she recently earned her doctoral... view more... (2001-02-01)
Scientists closer to understanding how to control high blood sugar
Scientists are closer to understanding which proteins help control blood sugar, or glucose, during and after exercise. This understanding could lead to new drug therapies or more effective exercise to prevent Type 2 diabetes and other health problems associated with having high blood sugar. view more (2009-03-19)
Study finds limited options for backup HIV treatment in some developing countries
Thai researchers have discovered that patients who fail treatment with a commonly used, inexpensive, first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) are also usually resistant to other, similar drugs, leaving progressively fewer options for replacement therapies. view more (2007-01-09)

Drug resistant hospital bugs also learning to beat disinfectant, say scientists
Dangerous multi-drug-resistant bacteria are also developing immunity to hospital disinfectants and antiseptics, according to new research presented today (Wednesday, 08 September 2004) at the Society for General Microbiology's 155th Meeting at Trinity College Dublin. view more (2004-08-23)
Not Just for Depression Anymore
Prozac is regularly prescribed to ease the emotional pain of patients who are being treated for cancer. But can this common anti-depressant help to fight cancer itself? view more (2008-12-19)
Antibiotic Resistance and Gene Transfer
The way antibiotic resistance spreads and possible problems from genes transferring have been identified by researchers from the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, in new evidence about the way genes pass from one bacterium to another. The research is presented today, Monday 7 April 2003, by Dr Karen Scott at the Society for General... view more... (2003-04-02)
UIC scientists discover how some bacteria survive antibiotics
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered how some bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment by turning on resistance mechanisms when exposed to the drugs. The findings, published in the April 24 issue of the journal Molecular Cell, could lead to more effective antibiotics to treat a variety of infections. view more (2008-05-01)
Over Prescribing Causing High Rates Of Antibiotic Resistance in South And East Europe
Resistance to antibiotics is more common in southern and eastern Europe than in northern Europe because the regions have high rates of antibiotic use, suggests a study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. view more (2005-02-09)
New project to analyze why Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and insulin resistance are so closely linked
Understanding the link between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance is the aim of a new project announced today, funded by the charity WellBeing of Women. view more (2007-03-13)
Four out of five head lice resistant to common treatment
Four out of five head lice are resistant to a common treatment used to eradicate them, finds a study of Welsh schoolchildren, published ahead of print in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2006-06-14)
Avian flu becoming more resistant to antiviral drugs, says University of Colorado study
A new University of Colorado at Boulder study shows the resistance of the avian flu virus to a major class of antiviral drugs is increasing through positive evolutionary selection, with researchers documenting the trend in more than 30 percent of the samples tested. view more (2009-01-08)
