...compound takes a novel approach to the familiar flu virus. It targets an enzyme, called neuraminidase, that the virus needs in order to scatter copies of itself throughout the body. This enzyme acts like a pair of molecular scissors that slices through the protective mucous linings of the nose and throat. After the virus infects the cells of the respiratory system and begins replicating, neuraminidase cuts the newly formed copies free to invade other cells. By blocking this enzyme, the new compound, dubbed GS 4104, prevents the infection from spreading. Other drug companies have tried targeting neuraminidase...

What guides an axon on its incredible voyage is a "growth cone," a creepy, crawly sprout that looks something like an amoeba. Scientists have known about growth cones since the turn of the century. What they didn't know until recently was that growth cones come equipped with the molecular equivalent of sonar and radar. Just as instruments in a submarine or airplane scan the environment for signals, so molecules arrayed on the surface of growth cones search their surroundings for the presence of certain proteins. Some of these proteins, it turns out, are attractants that pull the growth cones...
