...Amanda Watkins ’08, Harvard lost two of the best pitchers in its rotation. But this is where the depth of the pitching staff becomes important. With the addition of three new freshmen to the already experienced corps of Vertovez and juniors Margaux Black and Dana Roberts, the rotation looks as solid as ever. “Shelly just had this presence on the mound that was just total domination, and Amanda was just a great motivator,” Vertovez says. “But we’re going to get to that [championship] level, despite...

...antibodies, identified at the Harvard-affiliated Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, target a mutation-resistant region on the surface protein Hemagglutenin, which provides a crucial link between the many strains of influenza virus...
...does, we might be better prepared than we ever were, thanks to a clever new strategy that scientists are testing for an improved way to treat influenza. Researchers at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, the Burnham Institute for Medical Research and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have collaborated to test an antibody-based therapy for flu. Specifically, they tested antibodies that target core, conserved regions of the virus that do not mutate as readily as other parts. That's a little like attacking the virus's operating system instead of its software. Go after such primal programming...
...recent study in mice, published in the current issue of Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, they did not mutate at all. "If we use this approach judiciously, we should be able to keep this pocket conserved and not develop drug resistance to it," says Dr. Wayne Marasco of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, a co-author of the paper. "The exciting part is that this is really a therapy that can be used for prophylaxis and treatment...
