Genital Herpes May Never Go Dormant Nov 20, 2009
But it's too soon to suggest that low levels of viral DNA necessarily mean a person can still infect another. She noted that the researchers tested for viral DNA, which is only a portion of the virus and doesn't in and of itself mean a person is infectious ... "The presence of viral DNA does mean you are infected, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have an infectious particle there," Sawtell said. (MEDLINEplus)
Fight age, go on a diet Nov 20, 2009
Dietary restriction induces a transcription factor (DNA binding protein that turns genes on or off) called CREB-binding protein (CBP), which controls the activity of genes that regulate cellular function. By developing drugs that mimic the protective effects of CBP -- those usually caused by dietary restriction -- scientists may be able to extend lifespan and reduce vulnerability to age-related illnesses, says an MSSM release.
