...patient has a mutation in the human gene known as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Iressa has a much greater chance of slowing the growth of that patient’s tumor, the report said...
...antibody is a human monoclonal antibody, called 80R. By binding to the receptor of the virus (ACE2) in the animal cell, 80R prevents SARS virus from binding to and affecting the living cell...

...vole, form long pair bonds with their mates, as human beings do. Others, such as the montane vole, have only transitory liaisons, as do chimpanzees. The difference, according to Tom Insel and Larry Young at Emory University in Atlanta, lies in the promoter upstream of the oxytocin-and vasopressin-receptor genes. The insertion of an extra chunk of DNA text, usually about 460 letters long, into the promoter makes the animal more likely to bond with its mate. The extra text does not create love, but perhaps it creates the possibility of falling in love after the right experience...
...more before the peptide fusion inhibitor could be used for patients. And that assumes the coronavirus won?t evade the treatment through mutation. Dr. Edison Liu, executive director of Singapore?s Genome Institute, which recently published a study comparing the coronavirus genome in several different regions, says, ?If the receptor interaction is changed so that the virus uses a different receptor or has a different region to which it binds, it?ll evade the peptide...
