Genetically Engineered Maize Is Resistant To Maize Streak Virus
Scientists have developed a transgenic maize variety resistant to maize streak virus. The transmission of MSV by a leafhopper is exacerbated during drought conditions, resulting in devastated crops over large areas. The technology can potentially be adapted to other crops that are also infected by geminiviruses like MSV.

Re-engineered Human T Cells Effectively Target And Kill Cancerous B Ce
Human white blood cells, engineered to recognize other malignant immune cells, could provide a novel therapy for patients with highly lethal B cell cancers such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, according to researchers. By administering repeated doses of T cells designed to express an artificial receptor which recognizes human B cells, the researchers were able to eradicate cancer in 44 percent of mice bearing human ALL tumors.

Digging For Dinosaurs In Outback Australia
Outback Queensland has become the focus of an international research project that is helping to decipher the evolution of Australian dinosaurs and their relationships to those of other southern continents. There is now an expectation that some of the dinosaur groups known from places such as South America should also have representatives in Australia.

FDA Approves Novel Antiretroviral Drug
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved maraviroc, an antiretroviral drug for use in adult HIV patients. Maraviroc, sold under the trade name Selzentry, is the first in a new class of drugs designed to slow the advancement of HIV and received priority review by the FDA.

New Insights Into Protein Synthesis And Hepatitis C Infections
Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have uncovered key new information towards understanding the crucial first step in protein synthesis, the process by which the genetic code, harbored within DNA and copied into RNA, is translated into the production of proteins. This new information also helps to explain how viruses, such as Hepatitis C, are able to highjack protein synthesis machinery in humans for their own purposes.

Computer Simulation Shows How Fibrils -- Proteins That Cluster In Dise
To get a better look at how proteins gather into clusters called amyloid fibrils -- which are associated with important human diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and the so-called prion diseases like Mad Cow -- researchers at North Carolina State University decided to make movies.
