Double trouble: Hopelessness key component of mood disorder

Double depression occurs when an individual who suffers from dysthymia, a persistent case of mild depression marked by low energy, falls into a major depressive state. It is not a new concept, but psychologists know little about the characteristics that distinguish double depression from dysthymia or major depression alone, according to Joiner.

2. Scientists unveil piece of HIV protein that may be key to AIDS vaccine development
   02-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In a finding that could have profound implications for AIDS vaccine design, researchers led by a team at the NIAID have generated an atomic-level picture of a key portion of an HIV surface protein as it looks when bound to an infection-fighting antibody. Unlike much of the constantly mutating virus, this protein component is stable and -- more importantly, say the researchers -- appears vulnerable to attack from this specific antibody, known as b12, that can broadly neutralize HIV.
