...find the structural mechanism for the HIV virus??s drug resistance, we can see how those mutations will react with the drug molecules and better design drug therapy,” said Jing Zhang, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard and the lead author of the paper...
...influenza virus??equipped with only eight genes of its own—hijacks the genetic material of its host cell, infecting and utilizing the human genes to execute the virus?? own operations, according to Stephen J. Elledge, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and head of the lab in which the study took place. With this understanding, Elledge and his team systematically deactivated every gene in the human genome—testing some 20,000 different genes—using new RNA interference technology, hoping to determine the genes in the host cells that...
...light of the study, Gharib said that it is possible that the CDC could downgrade the H1N1 virus??s threat level to seasonal flu status or to relax procedural guidelines...
...global financial meltdown weren’t enough, this spring introduced scary words like “novel virus?? and “pandemic,” bumping the financial crisis off the headlines. The attention-grabbing RNA virus took the world by surprise and, thanks to air travel, spread rapidly from its origin in Mexico to every continent. The virus?? spread was a perfect storm of mutation (a combination of swine, human, and avian elements), little to no human immunity, and no available vaccine against it. To make matters worse, everyone was touting its similarity...
...address touched on the recent outbreak of H1N1 virus??a matter that her office must grapple with—noting that the disease was spreading from North America to the rest of the world and that HKS students’ expertise and insight are needed to combat this and other problems...
