...conflicts around the world, only numbers should matter. "Where can we save more lives?" should be the only question. Not too many people are being saved from starvation, exposure, and the spray of machine guns while U.N. forces loll around in their home countries and strategically important but militarily dormant areas...
This news comes from the University of California at San Francisco, where researchers studied AIDS patients with lymphoma, a cancer in which lymph cells grow wildly. The scientists found that HIV had invaded the cells and, in some instances, activated cancer-causing genes that are normally dormant...
Like detectives who determine how a fire broke out by studying the way in which the house burned down, the researchers surmised that HIV had somehow switched on the dormant oncogene, causing the cell to divide repeatedly. "It surprised us at first," McGrath recalls. "We thought it was coincidence, but then it happened three more times and we knew we were on to something." The new cancer cells released yet more virus, which activated oncogenes in other cells, starting a deadly chain reaction...
What triggers postpolio syndrome? One possibility is that the polio virus becomes active again after decades of lying dormant in victims' cells. This notion gained support in 1991, when British scientists reported that 58% of the postpolio patients they tested had high concentrations of polio-type antibodies not only in their blood, which is to be expected, but also in their spinal fluid, which suggests a current infection. That does not explain, however, why the disease resurfaces so long after the original infection, and attempts to replicate the British findings have been unsuccessful. Since it's possible that the dormant...
