How sneaky HIV escapes cells
06-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, uses a pre-existing transport system to leave one infected cell and infect new ones, Hopkins scientists have discovered. Their findings, published in the June issue of PLoS Biology, counter the prevailing belief that HIV and other retroviruses can only leave and enter cells by virus-specific mechanisms.

Research team identifies new Alzheimer's gene
06-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
A study comparing more genetic markers in the DNA of people with and without Alzheimer's disease than ever before enabled researchers to identify a common gene that appears to increase one's risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. The finding by researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute, Banner Alzheimer's Institute, Kronos Science Laboratory and their collaborative partners, suggests that the gene -- called GAB2 -- modifies an individual's risk when associated with other genes, including APOE4.
