Discovery reveals how cells try to control levels of key HIV protein




One of the many challenges in treating HIV is that the virus can lie dormant in cells, quietly evading immune detection until it suddenly roars to life without warning and begins replicating furiously. Salk Institute researchers discovered a small molecule called JIB-04 that destroys the HIV protein called Tat, responsible for revving up the virus.

Alcohol, Aging, and Curing Cancer

Alcohol, Aging, and Curing Cancer Recent media coverage has been devoted to the ability of alcohol to extend human life span.  A rather insolent statement considering the historical barrage of disparaging findings regarding alcohol and its secondary ill health effects.  However, if we isolate this one finding without examining the broader context of alcohol’s adverse health effects, in the long run, we probably do more harm than good.  Using Albert Einstein’s famous equation, E=MC2 I have formulated the Time Longevity equation.  By replacing the velocity of light coefficient with its equivalent velocity variables (distance/time), I have generated the Time or Longevity equation.  Time equals the square root of distance squared times mass times the inverse of energy.  I have proclaimed this formula, The Rainer Time Longevity Equation. Rainer’s Time Longevity Equation T=√D2x M x 1/E Rainer’s Time Longevity Equation states that an organism’s life span i...
