Women who use microbicides in an effort to protect themselves from HIV could end up with fewer treatment options if they contract the virus because of possible drug resistance, according to a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Reuters reports.

Researchers report a remarkable improvement in Alzheimer's transgenic mice following therapy with a new drug. The study, published by Cell Press in the July 10th issue of the journal Neuron, provides the first demonstration that an ionophore, a compound that transports metal ions across cell membranes, can elicit rapid and pronounced improvement in neuropathology and cognitive function in mouse models of Alzheimer's Disease (AD)........

New research published in the open-access journal PLoS medicine compares two different public health approaches to HIV treatment. The study authors find that the highly individualized approach to drug selection used in Switzerland is just as effective as the South African approach that used a limited number of drug combinations for all patients.

According to a study published on bmj.com, the number of 70 year olds that are having sex - and saying it is good sex - is increasing. Further, more older women are indicating specific satisfaction with their sex lives. Much of the research on sexual activity concerns younger people, and our objective knowledge about sexual behaviors among older people is quite limited.

Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) discovered a new way to make use of drugs' unwanted side effects. They developed a computational method that compares how similar the side effects of different drugs are and predicts how likely the drugs act on the same target molecule. The study, published in Science this week, hints at new uses of marketed drugs. (Source: News-Medical News Feed)

Coat color of wild and domestic animals is a critical trait that has significant biological and economic impact. In a study published online in Genome Research, researchers have identified the genetic basis for black coat color, and white, in a breed of domestic sheep. In the wild, mammalian coat color is essential for camouflage and plays a role in social behavior.

Minorities and rural residents in Maryland are underrepresented in cancer clinical trials and blacks' rate of participation is dropping, according to a study published in the July issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, the Baltimore Sun reports.
