Drug-resistant HIV genes identified

sciencedaily.com

New, groundbreaking research by a biomedical engineer significantly advances our understanding of HIV and how to treat it. They studied approximately 15,000 different versions of the virus -- something that has never been done before. This information has allowed them to locate the specific genes of the virus that were resistant to the drugs -- knowledge that could ultimately help researchers develop more effective treatments for HIV.

Better ways to predict kidney disease risk for African Americans: Gene testing could help identify patients who need early treatment

sciencedaily.com — “African Americans with certain gene variants develop non-diabetic kidney disease more often than expected. African Americans with these variants risk developing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and HIV nephropathy in particular and may need dialysis at a young age. Screening for these variants could identify individuals who should receive kidney-protective treatmentsView full resource at sciencedaily.com

sciencedaily.com — “Scientists have taken lessons from Adam Smith and Charles Darwin to devise a new strategy that could one day slow, possibly even prevent, the spread of drug-resistant bacteria. The scientists show that bacterial gene mutations that lead to drug resistance come at a biological cost not borne by nonresistant strains.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Drug resistance mechanisms identified in most common form of melanoma

sciencedaily.com — “Researchers have found that melanoma patients whose cancers are caused by mutation of the BRAF gene become resistant to a promising targeted treatment through another genetic mutation or the overexpression of a cell surface protein, both driving survival of the cancer and accounting for relapse. The study could result in the development of new targeted therapies to fight resistance once the patient stops responding and the cancer begins to grow again.View full resource at sciencedaily.com
