Cullen and his team were able to replicate the intricate process using lab mice. They started by identifying the tiniest components of the HSV-1 strain. In its latent stage, HSV-1 produces a single molecular product, called latency-associated transcript RNA, or LAT RNA. Unlike most messenger RNA, LAT RNA doesn't produce proteins, so scientists have never been able to determine LAT RNA's exact function. But by inserting the LAT RNA into mice, Cullen found that it breaks down into even smaller strands called microRNA. Researchers then discovered that it was the microRNA that blocked production...
...reborn as an ice cream flavor, what flavor would you be? -Ellizah Adam in Jakarta, IndonesiaI'd be pistachio. Definitely pistachio. I don't know why that's such a quick answer but honestly pistachio jumped at me. Maybe because I was asked to have an ice cream lat week in a movie I'm making here in New York and I said, 'could I have pistachio' and the prop guy said no. My face dropped.

...generous with their loans, tempting Latvian consumers to load up on debt, and driving up the prices of everything from cars to property.

...hero. Wherever he walked across the idle yard, workers would break into spontaneous applause. A few would run up for his autograph. Each evening when he climbed the flower-covered main gate to deliver news of the strike, the crowd would cheer and break into the Polish song Sto Lat (May He Live a Hundred Years). Manila March 10, 1986 The men wore loose-fitting barong tagalogs; many of the women, designer dresses. The formality was appropriate for a presidential inauguration - even one called at short notice. Clad in a simple yellow dress, Corazon (Cory) Aquino, 53, could hardly have...
...most young couples in the early years of their marriage, the Queen of Britain and her husband are engaged in a friendly struggle for domination in their own affairs, but Philip is no Prince Albert (who once complained, "I am only the husband, never the master in my house"). lAt parties, when she wants to leave and he doesn't, Elizabeth sometimes checkmates Philip by sending an equerry with the curt message: "The Queen is leaving." But on other occasions, as when he insisted against her wishes on wearing a plain naval uniform- instead of the trappings...
