 Herpes Protein Allows Cellular Invasion
The mechanism by which a herpes virus invades cells has always been a mystery to scientists, but now researchers have revealed that the unusual structure of a key member of the protein complex allows the herpes virus to enter cells.  continue



 Biofocus Collaborating With Bristol On Neuropathic Pain
BioFocus and the University of Bristol announced a new drug discovery collaboration aimed at developing treatments for chronic pain associated with diabetes (diabetic neuropathic pain).  continue



 Nanoscopic Beads to Speed Up Drug Discovery
A revolutionary technology developed at Wake Forest University will slash years off the time it takes to develop drugs – bringing vital new treatments to patients much more quickly.  continue



 Screening Method for Extra Large Libraries Developed
The search for new drug compounds is probably worse than looking for a needle in a haystack because scientists are limited in the size of the haystacks they can rummage through—time and money make it virtually impossible to screen or search through super-large libraries of potential compounds.  continue



 Newly Discovered Antibodies Stop Most HIV Strains
Scientists have discovered two potent human antibodies that can stop more than 90% of known global HIV strains from infecting human cells in the laboratory, possibly leading to improved vaccines to prevent or treat HIV infection.  continue



 New Treatment Slows Breast Tumor Growth By 85%
A novel therapy designed to attack tumors in patients with a genetic mutation in either BRCA1 or BRCA2, slowed tumor growth in 85 percent of advanced breast cancer patients treated in a small study.  continue
