Cold sores are icky. And they're insidious. The raw, ugly blisters show up without notice and are unpreventable. Worse yet, once you're infected with the virus that causes them, you're stuck with it for good. But landmark research reported today by microbiologists at Duke University may offer the potential for a cure...
Until now, research has generally concentrated on keeping HSV1 inactive - and preventing cold sores from ever showing up. But the Duke researchers took the opposite tack: figuring out precisely how to switch the virus from latency to its active stage. That's important, says lead author Dr. Bryan Cullen, professor of molecular genetics and microbiology at Duke, "because unless you activate the virus, you can't kill...
...study by researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder, University of Pittsburgh and Duke University, examined Census data from more than 15,000 neighborhoods across the U.S. in 1990 and 2000, and found that low-income non-white households did not disproportionately leave gentrifying areas. In fact, researchers found that at least one group of residents, high school-educated blacks, were actually more likely to remain in gentrifying neighborhoods than in similar neighborhoods that didn't gentrify - even increasing as a fraction of the neighborhood population, and seeing larger-than-expected gains in income...
...circulated early by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The findings, while unexpected, are notable for the depth of data on which they're based. Walsh and his colleagues, Terra McKinnish, an associate professor of economics at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Kirk White, an economist at Duke University's Triangle Census Research Data Center, compared confidential Census figures from 1990 and 2000 from 15,040 neighborhoods, with an average of about 4,000 residents each, in 64 metropolitan areas, such as Phoenix, Boston, Ft. Lauderdale, Columbus, New York, Atlanta and San Diego. The researchers identified gentrifying neighborhoods...
Wright-Swadel came to Cambridge in 1995, after three years at the helm of Dartmouth's office of career services. According to the Duke release, he has also worked in career services at the University of Rhode Island, the State University College of New Paltz in New York, and the University of Maine...
