When the cold viruses bind to the molecule, known as the ICAM-1 receptor, they infect the cell...
...controversial study has emerged to challenge this conventional treatment. Published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, it concludes that immediate angiography and angioplasty, both costly and somewhat risky techniques, are unnecessary in most heart-attack cases.
