New X-Ray Crystallography Study Confirms Structure of Empty Cowpea mosaic virus Particles
An X-ray crystallography study confirmed that empty Cowpea mosaic virus particles were structurally similar to the intact virus and showed that they could be used for drug transport and other biomedical applications. More...10 Apr 2016


Newly Developed Drug Demonstrates Potent, Selective Activity Against Trypanosomatid Parasites
Using a plant-based compound, scientists have developed a semi-synthetic drug that, upon testing on infected mammalian cells in culture, showed highly effective activity against two parasites from the trypanosomatid family: Leishmania donovani, a cause of visceral leishmaniasis, and Trypanosoma cruzi, cause of Chagas disease.
