Mapping heart disease: Researchers uncover genes that may dramatically affect heart health

1 Apr 2010

Studying Drosophila (fruit flies), an international team investigated 7,061 genes and built a detailed map that shows how a portion of these genes contribute to heart function and disease. Importantly, the researchers identified many genes that had not previously been associated with heart disease.

Researchers explain repeated infection by some viruses

In: Biotechnology News

1 Apr 2010

New research explains how a virus that has already infected up to 80 percent of the American population can repeatedly re-infect individuals despite the presence of a strong and long-lasting immune response. The results of this study primarily illustrate the significant barriers to creating a vaccine that will prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection.
