...work of Collier and another Harvard Medical School researcher, Assistant Professor of Genetics William F. Dietrich, focuses on the ways that anthrax enters and destroys cells. Although their research insights are still years away from having clinical benefits for humans, their work has illuminated the molecular aspects of the disease in a way that may eventually be used to fight...
...contrast to Collier’s work, which may have applications for vaccines, Dietrich’s work on anthrax focused on genes that cause cells to resist the toxin. In a paper published in this week’s Current Biology, Dietrich describes two alleles, or versions of a gene, that help mice fight off anthrax infections...
...humans have similar genes, they could be used to gauge a person’s risk of death after exposure to the anthrax toxin. But the basic research Dietrich is doing is still far from finding ways to treat the disease...
