I have a strong affinity for the sciences which led me to create my sites. My compulsion for the past decade has been reviewing literally every peer-reviewed research article. Which can easily be validated by following my posts. To me, science is where the real news is, as it will mold our destiny beyond that of politics or economics. ;-)

‘Missing’ virus detected in dozens of children paralyzed by polio-like illness
A UCSF-led research team has detected the immunological remnants of a common seasonal virus in spinal fluid from dozens of patients diagnosed with acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) — a polio-like illness that causes permanent, sometimes life-threatening paralysis in young children…. Read More ›

陳教授的團隊進行實驗，比較小鼠感染不同細菌菌株和不同細菌劑量後的存活率。
陳教授的團隊進行實驗，比較小鼠感染不同細菌菌株和不同細菌劑量後的存活率。測試菌株分別是從病人身上分離出來的變棲克雷伯菌15WZ-82、典型的ST11耐碳青霉烯類抗生素的肺炎克雷伯菌14WZ-24、高毒性的ST11耐碳青霉烯類肺炎克雷伯菌（即是帶有15WZ-82毒力質粒的）14WZ-24-TC1、作為高毒力對照的HvKP4和HvKP1088，以及作為低毒力對照的FJ8。 從圖a（細菌劑量較高）可見，小鼠感染15WZ-82菌株120小時後死亡率達80%，感染HvKP4的小鼠則96小時後全部死亡，顯示變棲克雷伯菌15WZ-82的毒力雖然低於HvKP4，但遠高於典型的ST11耐碳青霉烯類肺炎克雷伯菌14WZ-24。 從圖b（%… Source: 陳教授的團隊進行實驗，比較小鼠感染不同細菌菌株和不同細菌劑量後的存活率。

Influenza evolution patterns change with time, complicating vaccine design
Skoltech scientists discovered new patterns in the evolution of the influenza virus. This may help predict mutations in the viral genome and ultimately help design better vaccines. Research results were published in a top scientific journal PNAS. Source: Influenza evolution… Read More ›
