AIDS and Imperialism: Karma and Colonial Crimes | The Nation
Maybe it’s too much to say that imperialism caused AIDS. But at the very least, it’s karma—payback, if you will, for mass slaughter, slavery and vicious exploitation in central Africa more than a century ago. That’s the point of a stunning excerpt of a new book in the Washington Post today.Pharmacology
Monsanto's Minions Attack CA's Right to Know About GMOs
On February 19th, the Sacramento Bee ran an opinion piece by Dan Morain full of lies about the California ballot initiative campaign to label GMOs. We asked our members to set the record straight by reading our rebuttal and posting comments to the article on the Sacramento Bee website (see below).

Was Lou Gehrig's ALS Caused by Tap Water? - Miller-McCune
Rudyard Kipling called it “Hell’s Half Acre,” a geothermal wonderland where people could fall through the Earth’s thin crust or be poached by steamy hot springs and geysers. Most visitors to Yellowstone National Park’s Midway Geyser Basin stroll the wooden boardwalks, but a few hike a short, steep side trail that reveals a bird’s-eye view of the entire valley, including Grand Prismatic Spring, which can be fully appreciated only from above. Mustard-yellow and vibrant-orange mats spread like tentacles from the turquoise pool.
EBCC 8
As part of a biennial series of pioneering meetings, the eighth European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-8) is devoted to presenting, educating on, and debating the most up-to-date developments, topics and ideas within the field of breast cancer.Discovery predicts patient sensitivity to important drug target in deadly brain cancer
A recent discovery by Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) scientists enables the prediction of patient sensitivity to proposed drug therapies for glioblastoma – the most common and most aggressive malignant brain tumour in humans. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science , investigated glioblastoma models characterised by cell signaling activation and gene amplification for their susceptibility to inhibitors of both the human MET oncogene and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EFGR).
In a study conducted by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center and colleagues from 11 other institutions in the Unites States and the United Kingdom, genes that are known to be involved in inflammation were found to be related to risk of ovarian cancer.
Researchers find ovarian cancer risk related to inherited inflammation genes
Researchers indentify a cell-permeable peptide that inhibits hepatitis C
Researchers from UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a cell-permeable peptide that inhibits a hepatitis C virus protein and blocks viral replication, which can lead to liver cancer and cirrhosis. This finding by Dr.
New technology to tackle treatment-resistant cancers
Free-flowing cancer cells have been mapped with unprecedented accuracy in the bloodstream of patients with prostate, breast and pancreatic cancer, using a brand new approach, in an attempt to assess and control the disease as it spreads in real time through the body, and solve the problem of predicting response and resistance to therapies.ASH 2011: BTK inhibitor PCI-32765 induces durable responses in relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma - Prof Susan O’Brien - University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston

Mammals generally have evolved the same basic, boring way for males to fertilize an egg: just send a bunch of tiny individual sperm into the female reproductive organs.How Black Light Works
What would Tron be without black light?A conjugate vaccine is created by covalently attaching a poor (polysaccharide organism) antigen to a carrier protein (preferably from the same microorganism), thereby conferring the immunological attributes of the carrier on the attached antigen. This technique for the creation of an effective immunogen is most often applied to bacterial polysaccharides for the prevention of invasive bacterial disease.
