…in Development of Flu Drugs Researchers demonstrate molecular binding mechanism that could change approach to designing influenza treatments There is no hole-in-one drug treatment when it comes to the flu, but that doesn’t stop scientists from trying to sink one. Especially since as many as one in five Americans gets…

…in combination with other drugs. Generally, she told those attending the Congressional briefing, that while adolescent substance-users perform worse on a variety of cognitive-function tests, those who abstain can return to normal cognitive functioning. By contrast, she said, the brain scans of those who persist in alcohol and other substance…

…have identified a new drug discovery approach enabling the destruction of the most highly proliferative tumors. The discovery, published in the November 13 online issue of the journal Nature Medicine, points to an effective, alternative method for killing fast-growing cancer cells without causing some of the negative effects of current…
