Combination therapy may be better than radiotherapy alone to treat aggressive brain cancer

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 09:53 AM PST

Radiotherapy effectively damages brain tumors but the cancer cells can repair themselves in order to live on. Now, researchers have tested a strategy that combines radiotherapy with a drug that shuts down the ability of tumor to mend themselves.

Structure of a hantavirus protein as a promising model for drug design

Posted: 26 Feb 2016 09:53 AM PST

There is no treatment for infection with the dangerous hantavirus. Scientists have now identified the three-dimensional structure of a hantavirus protein that is essential for replication of the virus. They have published their findings, providing a blueprint for the design of antiviral drugs.
