Recent Advances in Computer-Aided Drug Design as Applied to Anti-Influenza Drug Discovery
Zanamivir (Relenza™) and oseltamivir (Tamiflu(®)) are two antiviral drugs currently recommended by the CDC for treating influenza. Both are examples of the successful application of structure-based drug design strategies.

Synthesis of Doxycycline-[(CD3)-C-13]
In this process, doxcycline was oxidized to the N-oxide using m-CPBA. The hydrochloride salt of the tertiary N-oxide was treated with Fe(0)/FeCl3 catalyst yielding the N-demethylated product.

ICOS-Based Chimeric Antigen Receptors Program Bipolar Th17/Th1 Cells
Here we demonstrate that redirection of primary human T cells with a CAR containing the inducible costimulator (ICOS) intracellular domain generates tumor-specific IL-17-producing effector cells that show enhanced persistence.

Sleep/Wake Regulation and Cortical EEG Are Disturbed in the Neuroligin-3 Rat Model of Autism
This study demonstrates the presence of sleep/wake abnormalities in a model of ASD, consistent with the presence of sleep disruptions found in ASD. The observed decreases in NREM and increased…

Accelerated Aging of Selective Brain Structures in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: A Controlled, Longitudinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
Infected individuals are living long enough that there is a potential for interaction with normal senescence effects on various organ systems, including the brain. To examine this interaction, the brains…
