Gallico says that the autografts can be used as a "living laboratory" while they are being grown. Previously, researchers had used cultures to study cell physiology, and this research is continuing...
...study, headed by James M. Cunningham, assistant professor of medicine at the Medical School, reported that the viral receptor, a host protein which viruses use to enter the cell, has a molecular structure and cellular function vastly different than those previously described...
Investigators studied the mechanism by which a mouse leukemia virus, MuLV, enters cells. They found that the receptor for this virus is a channel that allows positively charged amino acids to enter the cell. In further study, he and colleagues found that the gene encoding the sequence for this receptor was one whose structure allows specific molecules to pass through...
