Newly emerging flu viruses could soon be countered by a treatment that Draper Laboratory is developing that 'traps' viruses before they can infect host cells. Further into the future, patients suffering from any type of virus could be cured with DRACO, a drug also under development at Draper that is designed to rapidly recognize and eliminate cells infected by virtually any virus.

During a recent experiment, a number of gold nanorods were irradiated with xenon atoms. They were a good subject for the experiment because nanowires or rods have a large surface area. The findings were dramatic. The scientists were hoping to generate bubbles. They actually found that they were eroding the nanowires.

A novel injectable therapy partially reverses cancer formation in cultured mammary-gland cells and prevents breast cancer development in mice. The therapy silences a new cancer-causing gene that the scientists identified using a sophisticated systems biology approach. It could one day provide a new way to treat early stages of breast cancer without surgery, chemotherapy or radiation.
