New Finding on Trypanosomal Variant
Researchers have found evidence that supports the theory that modified DNA containing base J (beta-D-glucosyl-hydroxymethyluracil) is critically involved in the activation and silencing of genes for production of trypanosomal variant surface glycoprotein. More...17 Mar 2005
Interferon Treats Colonic Inflammation
Researchers studying inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) have found that alpha and beta interferon suppressed the effects of the syndrome in a mouse model by inhibiting the inflammatory activity of immune system macrophages. More...17 Mar 2005
