Gene linked to eye disease

Published August 28, 2008, 6:14 am, San Diego Union-Tribune

LA JOLLA – An international team led by a UCSD eye researcher has found the first genetic link to dry age-related macular degeneration, the most common form of progressive blindness. A study by the team describes a genetic variant in about 66 percent of the population that appears to protect people from certain kinds of viral damage, a leading suspect in the development of the eye disease

Tech, Harvard work to stop spread of HIV

Published August 27, 2008, 8:51 pm, The Daily Toreador

Researchers may have gotten one step closer to finding a solution to the HIV epidemic. A group of Texas Tech and Harvard researchers have found a way to halt the spread of HIV through a new process called ribonucleic acid interference, or RNAi. "RNA interference is a new gene silencing mechanism," said Premlata Shankar, who conducted the research while she was at Harvard University, but ...
