While this is wily, it's legal. But news organizations may not tolerate others cherry-picking their content and repurposing it for profit for much longer. "Someone is going to sue the Huffington Post," says Joshua Benton, director of the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard University. "It's not just about the volume of the content that it appropriates, it's about the value." There are other aggregators, but HuffPo is the most tempting. "It's a big player, and the site that has got closest to the line" between fair and unfair use of copy, Benton notes...
...mount an attack against a single target on HIV. 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. "If we know what...
...candidates in early phase trials, including compounds of two previously tested candidates, just in case they turn out to be effective together where each failed individually. Since Merck's setback in 2007, however, some scientists have questioned current vaccine-development tactics. And some researchers, including those in Nussenzweig's lab, are now trying to produce HIV immunity through antibodies; but despite good results in primates, they have had no luck so far in humans with a single-antibody vaccine...
...quickly, so the immune system doesn't always recognize the virus as something it's encountered before. This is a stumbling block for vaccinemakers, but it's also the reason so few people are able to control an HIV infection naturally, like the six people studied in Nussenzweig's lab. Now, understanding this process could be key to the next vaccines. "It's just that the antibodies are too late," Nussenzweig says, referring to the typical immune response. "The antibody is always chasing the virus around. You get an antibody. It has an effect. Then the virus mutates away from...
...through every inch, they have employed a variety of detection methods, and compared satellite imagery from 2004 to present-day imagery to determine disturbance in the topography. "We won't stop until we have exhausted all reasonable means," said Paul Feist, commander of the Albuquerque Police Department's Crime Lab. Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz said a piece of evidence is uncovered every day. "It may be as small as one vertebra to an ulna or radial bone," he said...
