...brands is Walker's specialty. With a compelling blend of cultural anthropology and business journalism, he makes us fess up about our dependence on brand-name products and explains our nearly irresistible urge to use what we buy to broadcast our identities.

According to an Organization spokesperson, Japan has reported "no foreseen delays" to meeting its cleanup deadline. But Japan's record does not leave critics confident: The current 2012 deadline is an extension granted after Japan missed its initial deadline of 2007. Key disposal facilities have...
According to Reinherz, after mapping MPER, the team tested their findings using a particular BNA called 4E10. They found that 4E10 was able to pull portions of MPER out of the viral membrane and attach itself to the virus. The antibody then prevents the viral membrane from fusing with the membranes of human cells, effectively blocking HIV infection...
