POPSMYJ | File This Under Cancer Research My mantle cell lymphoma diagnosis and subsequent treatment since March 2006, makes me a sponge for everything about cancer research and treatment, here's a recent Googled link. ... "Dr. Bissell and a few others have struggled for acceptance of what seemed a radical idea: Gene mutations are part of the process of cancer, but mutations alone are not enough. Cancer involves an interaction between rogue cells and surrounding tissue." ___ ARCHIVED by @ltaCITIES | 224 | A2G | Today, Tomorrow, Forever | According to Google | http://altacities.com | amplified by ALTALOMAN ___ http://google.twi.bz/co

POPSVirus mutation spreads as swine flu deaths leap
The case was the first drug-resistant strain found in France among the 1,200 strains experts have analysed here, the InVS said, adding that "the effectiveness of vaccines currently available is not being questioned." The two patients were not related and had been hospitalised in two different cities in France, it said. The WHO said Friday the death toll had reached at least 7,826 worldwide since the A(H1N1) flu virus was first uncovered in April. The number of deaths reported to the UN health agency showed the biggest rise in the Americas, where 5,360 deaths have now been recorded compared to 4,806 a week ago. But Europe also posted a substantial increase percentage-wise with at least 650 fatalities now reported, representing a surge of 300 deaths or 85 percent from data posted a week ago. The WHO said Thursday it was investigating reports of mutations in the virus, after half a dozen countries recorded such cases. "The question is whether these mutations again sugges

POPSJones,Jarrett=Reflections of the Boss. Van Jones is not the main point. HE IS A SYMPTOM!! Valerie Jarrett proclaims admiringly how they'd watched him closely as he rose. These are the people Obama holds dear, perceiving as "normal". Their goal has been to change OUR perceptions to seeing these people and mutations of policy as normal. The challenge is, & will be, to actually have a "normal" - solid, hopeful, center-right, productive, moral, & ethical - America to return to AFTER THE RADICALS ARE EXPOSED. Is it dying with the boomers' parents, followed by the boomers? As that memory fades, is this radical change really inevitable?

POPSAntibodies found that prevent HIV from causing severe AIDS More: The antibodies were able to block the activity of about three-quarters of the 162 separate strains of HIV they tested it against. Immunologist Dennis Burton of Scripps and his colleagues then showed that the antibodies bind to regions of two proteins on the surface of the virus, called gp120 and gp41, that help the virus invade cells. These regions had never before been considered as targets for vaccines. Researchers still have a long way to go to produce a vaccine, however. The antibodies themselves could potentially be used as a treatment for infected patients who develop severe disease. But the long-term hope is to find molecules, either synthetic or natural, that can stimulate the body to produce the broadly neutralizing antibodies. Such molecules could potentially be the basis for a successful vaccine.

POPSComputational Process Zeroes in on Top Genetic Cancer Suspects The new process focuses on missense mutations, meaning protein sequences that each possess a single tiny variation from the normal pattern. A small percentage of these genetic errors can reduce the activity of proteins that usually suppress tumors or hyperactivate proteins that make it easier for tumors to grow, thereby allowing cancer to develop and spread. But finding these genetic offenders can be difficult.

POPSDeath rays from space
"Every square centimeter on the top of the Earth's atmosphere is hit by several cosmic rays per second," Fields says. "This is forever going on." At present, the average human receives the equivalent of about 10 chest X-rays per year from cosmic rays. We shouldn't be alarmed by this, since it is just part of the natural background radiation under which humans and our ancestors have been exposed to for eons. Indeed, cosmic-ray-induced mutations may sometimes be beneficial. "It is clear that in some way cosmic rays shaped evolution of organisms on Earth," says Franco Ferrari from the University of Szczecin in Poland. Although 30 light-years is small on a galactic scale, Fields thinks it likely that Earth has been caught in a supernova "kill radius" as many as a dozen times over our 4.5-billion-year history. However, a nearby supernova is not the only way to increase the cosmic ray intensity. As our Sun orbits around the galactic center, it regularly passes through one of th

POPSStephen Hawking: "Humans Have Entered a New Stage of Evolution" The best part of the article: ""By contrast," Hawking says, "there are about 50,000 new books published in the English language each year, containing of the order of a hundred billion bits of information. Of course, the great majority of this information is garbage, and no use to any form of life. But, even so, the rate at which useful information can be added is millions, if not billions, higher than with DNA." :)
