Having the Right Gut Bacteria Improves Mating Chances of Male Fruit Flies
Adjusting the mix of bacteria in the guts of sterilized male fruit flies enables them to compete successfully against native males and improves the "mass male sterilization” method of biological pest control. More...25 Mar 2010
Noncancerous Cells of the Tumor Microenvironment Skew Drug Effectiveness Assays
Cancer researchers have developed a system for screening drug candidate compounds that is based on cancer cells that are "co-cultured” with noncancerous cells in a format that mimics the natural tumor microenvironment. More...24 Mar 2010
Plant Virus Particles Adapted to Carry Anticancer Drugs
Resembling microscopic balloons, empty Cowpea mosaic virus particles can be modified to entrap drugs or other molecules while the outside surface can be coated with peptides that direct the particles to a specific class of target cells. More...24 Mar 2010
Eprotirome Dramatically Reduces Level of Serum Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Augmentation of statin treatment with the drug eprotirome lowers levels of heart disease risk factors such as LDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, and Lp(a) to a significantly greater degree than the statin treatment alone. More...23 Mar 2010
