Instead, the body deploys many dozens of antibodies - the researchers cloned 502 antibodies from the six patients - and together they attack many different virus targets. Individually, each antibody may have little effect, but as a group - or even in lab-created packages of 20 to 50 antibodies - they seem to confer some protection against disease progression. "It's the first time that anybody's really looked at what the antibody response is," says senior investigator Michel Nussenzweig, head of the Rockefeller University's Laboratory of Molecular Immunology.

"So think differently...
...soccer ball with an internal device that stores energy every time the ball is kicked. The stored energy would be used as a power source, with the target market being underprivileged communities throughout Africa. The four met while enrolled in Engineering Sciences 147: “Idea Translation Lab,” in which they were assigned to work together on a project based on a common global health interest. Rather than an initial interest in entrepreneurship, the idea behind the sOccket itself inspired the venture. “If the idea wasn’t this idea, I probably...
