CANCER Spider web of cancer proteins reveals new drug possibilities Scientists at Winship Cancer Institute have mapped a vast spider web of interactions between proteins in lung cancer cells in an effort to reach targets considered "undruggable." This approach is revealing new ways to target cancer-causing gene mutations. As an example, researchers showed sensitivitity to an approved drug for a gene commonly mutated in lung cancer cells, now being tested in a clinical trial. Read more... |

But researchers also found that Zika remained longer in semen than in other body fluids, with half of study participants having virus particles after one month and five percent after three months.
