MIT develops a general function anti-viral treatment
http://www.ll.mit.edu/news/DRACO.html
DRACO selectively induces apoptosis, or cell suicide, in cells containing any viral dsRNA, rapidly killing infected cells without harming uninfected cells. As a result, DRACO should be effective against virtually all viruses, rapidly terminating a viral infection while minimizing the impact on the patient. Still early in testing, but it works in mice. If this carries through to humans it will be a major medical discovery. Jay |

What could possibly go wrong?
Seriously, it's neat and important. Silver bullets scare me, though.
Especially after seeing the trailer for PotA today - http://www.youtube.c...tch?v=LaK6khs8aMw ;-) Cheers, Scott. (Who enjoyed the 1968 version with Heston very much.) |
