AIDS

Scientists have found a way to prevent HIV from damaging the immune system and say their discovery may offer a new approach to developing a vaccine against AIDS.

After trying and repeatedly failing to piece together the structure of a protein-cutting enzyme from an AIDS-like virus, scientists called in the Foldit players to help get the job done.

On Monday, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a declaration recognizing the economic and social burdens imposed by noncommunicable diseases, which are expected to cost the global economy $47 trillion by 2030.

Study has found that gene therapy can potentially reduce levels of HIV.

AIDS researchers struggling to unlock the structure of a key enzyme received a helping hand from an unlikley source: thousands of amateurs playing an Internet game called Foldit.

Online gamers have helped researchers to establish the structure of an enzyme related to HIV/AIDS, demonstrating the potential of recruiting everyday people to help unlock riddles that are typically the province of Ph.D.s.

In an extraordinary breakthrough, online game players have pieced together the molecular structure of the mysterious retrovirus enzyme that has baffled scientists for more than a decade. This is the first case in which researchers and gamers have teamed up together to solve an age-old scientific problem.

Pharmaceutical poisoning is still a common childhood injury in the United States, as a new study shows that more than 500,000 children are exposed to pharmaceuticals on a yearly basis.

The number of cases diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted diseases has seen a remarkable decline due to the improved medical care in the city.

More children are ingesting prescription drugs found around the house, leading to a spike in the number of kids who end up in the emergency room being treated for poisoning, a new study found.

A new study found a steady increase in the number of children admitted to emergency rooms with poisoning from prescription drugs, a rise that is mostly due to children finding and taking their parents' pills.

Lady Gaga, Bono and Usher will pay tribute to the work of the Bill Clinton Foundation in a one-night concert at the Hollywood Bowl in October, the organization and Yahoo said on Tuesday.

Cats genetically modified to glow in the dark may give vital clues to the treatment of the AIDS virus, U.S. scientists have found.

Cats genetically modified to glow in the dark can give vital clues to the treatment of AIDS, scientists have found.

South African politician Julius Malema was found guilty of hate speech charges on Monday, but the crime will do little to stop the controversial leader's rise. Malema is one of South Africa's most polarizing figures, and he may well be the country's future.

They meow, they glow in the dark and they could help scientists understand how to shield the immune system against the ravages of HIV/AIDS.

Scientists are hoping that cats genetically engineered to glow in the dark can illuminate new ways to develop treatment for AIDS.

Scientists have developed genetically modified cats that emit a green glow and have cells that fight the virus which causes feline AIDS.

U.S. scientists have developed a strain of green-glowing cats with cells that resist infection from a virus that causes feline AIDS, a finding that may help prevent the disease in cats and advance AIDS research in people.

Jordan Towers said he was unpacking a truck during a family move from Truckee, California, to the state capital of Sacramento when he heard the news that a plane had flown into New York's World Trade Center.
