Nature Medicine study shows Peregrine's bavituximab can cure lethal virus infections
Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPHM) today reported publication of data in Nature Medicine that supports the broad anti-viral potential of the company's novel anti-phosphatidylserine (anti-PS) antibody platform, showing that its PS-targeting drug bavituximab can cure lethal virus infections in animal disease models. view more (2008-11-24)
Animals can change genes quickly to keep up with viral ingenuity
Viruses are famous for evolving quickly, but the organisms they infect can't be expected to sit idly by. view more (2006-03-21)
Virological evidence cannot prove transmission in HIV criminal cases
Virological evidence cannot prove transmission in HIV criminal cases, warn experts in this week's BMJ. view more (2007-09-07)
Hebrew University study opening new route for combating viruses
A unique technique for analyzing the function of microRNAs developed by a Hebrew University of Jerusalem doctoral student has led to the discovery of a new mechanism by which viruses evade the human immune system. view more (2008-06-25)
MicroRNAs help control HIV life cycle
Scientists at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have discovered that specific microRNAs (non-coding RNAs that interfere with gene expression) reduce HIV replication and infectivity in human T-cells. view more (2009-06-26)
Improved diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis thanks to new techniques
Dutch researcher Wendy van der Meide has developed and evaluated new techniques for a better diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis and an improved monitoring of its treatment. Accurately establishing the number of parasites in a skin lesion before, during and after treatment is vital, so as to prevent serious physical consequences. view more (2008-01-25)
Doctors call for balancing of patient/carer viral transmission protection.
Healthcare staff are at a much higher risk of acquiring viral infections from infected patients than vice versa. These viral infections include HIV and hepatitis. Despite this, patients receive enormous protection, while staff could be left exposed. A paper published this week in the British Journal of Surgery recommends that good medical care of... view more... (2004-03-15)
EU research fights killer viruses' stubborn resistance to drugs
Viruses' growing resistance to drugs means diseases such as hepatitis B and C are increasingly difficult to treat. New pandemics may arise with unforeseeable consequences. The EU is therefore contributing EUR9 million to the "Vigilance against Viral Resistance" (VIRGIL) project, to be launched today in Lyon (France). It will start by... view more... (2004-06-29)
Gene therapy shows promise as weapon against HIV
A new UCLA AIDS Institute study has found that gene therapy can be developed as a safe and active technique to combat HIV. view more (2009-02-23)
What is the function of lymph nodes?
If we imagine our immune system to be a police force for our bodies, then previous work has suggested that the Lymph nodes would be the best candidate structures within the body to act as police stations - the regions in which the immune response is organised. view more (2009-05-26)
Researchers seek to solve mystery of natural HIV control
An international, multi-institutional research consortium is seeking to discover how a few HIV-infected individuals are naturally able to suppress replication of the virus. view more (2006-08-17)
Potential risk identified in transfusions of platelets before bone marrow transplant
Research on blood transfusions points to a potential risk of transfusing donated platelets, especially to patients with bone marrow failure syndromes who are subsequently candidates for bone marrow transplantation. view more (2009-08-11)
Pitt research indicates new virus is culprit, not bystander, in deadly skin cancer
University of Pittsburgh scientists are uncovering more evidence that a virus they recently discovered is the cause of Merkel cell carcinoma, an aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer. view more (2008-09-23)
Scientists unmask key HIV protein, open door for more powerful AIDS drugs
University of Michigan scientists have provided the most detailed picture yet of a key HIV accessory protein that foils the body's normal immune response. view more (2008-09-29)
New protocol streamlines therapy that makes more kidney transplants possible
A new therapy developed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center improves transplant rates and outcomes for patients awaiting living- and deceased-donor kidney transplantation, according to a study published in the July 17 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2008-07-17)
'Defensive' Action By Influenza Viruses Demonstrated By Hebrew University Researcher
Combating viruses is often a frustrating business. Find a way to destroy them --- and before you know it, they've found a way to defend themselves and neutralize the anti-viral treatment. view more (2004-09-05)
Researcher at UGA College of Veterinary Medicine identifies new way of combating viral diseases
Four seemingly unrelated viral diseases may some day be defeated by a single treatment, according to a recent collaborative study involving researchers at the University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine. view more (2005-09-13)
Human Papilloma virus as a predictor of cervical cancer
Two studies published in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the detection of the amount of human papillomavirus (HPV) could help identify women at risk of cervical cancer. Infection with certain types of HPV - which is common among young women - increases the risk of cervical cancer. However, less than 1% of young women positive for... view more... (2000-06-22)
Budding viral hijackers may co-opt cell machinery for the getaway
When retroviruses, like HIV, infect cells, they take over the cell's machinery to manufacture new copies of themselves. Research published this week in the top-tier open access journal, Journal of Biology, shows that to escape from cells, retroviruses may once again hijack cellular components, in this case molecules normally used to engulf... view more...

Researchers discover key mechanism by which lethal viruses Ebola and Marburg cause disease
Researchers in the Greene Infectious Disease Laboratory at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Caribbean Primate Research Center have discovered a key mechanism by which the Filoviruses, Ebola and Marburg, cause disease. view more (2006-10-17)
