...virus has now been documented in great detail in the new study. The b12 antibody thus provides a key to scientists: its behavior will give them a precise roadmap on which to develop potential vaccines that would replicate b12's actions. One other advantage of b12 and its target protein (which is called HIV gp120): while the HIV virus is known to mutate over and over again, the HIV gp120 protein is stable throughout the existing strains of the virus. Thus, a vaccine developed with b12 as a template could potentially be used against all known variants...
...hard to see why they would do so. Ever since Bush's speech in 2002 labeling North Korea a member of the "axis of evil," Kim has believed "he has a big, fat target painted on his back," says a former U.S. diplomat. "Kim believes that having a few nukes in his pocket is the ultimate guarantee that no one will try to topple his regime militarily. He's probably right about that, and no matter how much fuel oil or diplomatic goodies we send his way, he's not going to negotiate that away...
...coming to Canada and those who are there already. But the country is also picky about who it welcomes in the first place. Immigrants are selected using a system that awards each applicant a series of points on factors like age, qualifications, knowledge of English and past employment. "The target is young, educated migrants," says Randall Hansen, an immigration and citizenship expert at the University of Toronto. "It's based on attracting human capital...
...from patients who walk into the clinic without having to sequence all of their genes,” said Garraway. The study presents a streamlined way of detecting mutations in key oncogenes, or genes that promote cancer growth. By adapting a common scientific method called high-throughput genotyping to target specific sequences in oncogenes susceptible to mutations, Garraway obtained accurate mutation profiles of 17 oncogenes. A profile of an individual’s gene expression pattern can provide doctors with important details, including disease prognosis and how a patient may respond to certain drugs. According to Garraway, few diagnostic tests...
...proctors are. The UC party grants are designed to create some semblance of a normal college social life, something that freshman generally cannot provide without violating College regulations. In addition, it should come as little surprise that freshman parties are attended almost exclusively by, well, freshmen. Furthermore, the targeted party fund increases will only provide yet another opportunity for freshmen to remain isolated from the rest of the campus community. There is already remarkably little interaction between freshmen and older students. It seems unwise to further widen the gap between first-year students and the university as a whole...
