In addition to saving time, the technique -- which is detailed in the November issue of the journal Nano Letters -- could save lives by rapidly detecting a naturally occurring disease outbreak or bioterrorism attack. Thu, 16 Nov 2006 04:00 EST New Treatment Approach Holds Promise For Children Infected By Dangerous Respiratory Virus http://goldbamboo.com/news-a203289.html Working with laboratory mice, researchers have taken an important step toward developing a therapy for respiratory syncytial virus, showing for the first time that RSV damages lung cells by inducing the production of inflammatory reactive oxygen species -- an effect that can be substantially reduced by treating the mice with an antioxidant chemical.
