SLU Researchers Uncover Direct Evidence on How HIV Invades Healthy Cells
Using sophisticated detection methods, researchers at the Saint Louis University Institute for Molecular Virology (IMV) have demonstrated the molecular mechanism by which the HIV virus infects, or integrates, healthy cells. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments for HIV.   view more (2005-12-22)

Targeted drug delivery achieved with nanoparticle-aptamer bioconjugates
Ground-breaking results from researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA, disclosed at the 13th European Cancer Conference (ECCO) have shown for the first time that targeted drug delivery is possible using nanoparticle-apatamer conjugates.   view more (2005-11-02)

Earth's original ancestor was LUCA, not Adam nor Eve
Here's another argument against intelligent design. An evolutionary geneticist from the Université de Montréal, together with researchers from the French cities of Lyon and Montpellier, have published a ground-breaking study that characterizes the common ancestor of all life on earth,... view more (2008-12-18)

St. Jude influenza survey uncovers key differences between bird flu and human flu
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have found key features that distinguish influenza viruses found in birds from those that infect humans.   view more (2007-08-21)

OBESITY DRUG COULD SUSTAIN WEIGHT LOSS (p 2119)
Results of a clinical trial published in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the drug sibutramine is effective in sustaining weight loss in obese patients. However, questions remain about the drug's long-term safety. Sibutramine is a tertiary amine, originally developed as a potential... view more (2000-12-21)

Leukemic cells find safe haven in bone marrow
The cancer drug asparaginase fails to help cure some children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) because molecules released by certain cells in the bone marrow counteract the effect of that drug, according to investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.   view more (2007-03-23)
