New anti-influenza drugs

Every year a new vaccine must be developed for influenza due to the constant rate of mutation of H and N surface proteins in the influenza virus. However, Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase both target Sialic Acid, a sugar receptor on normal host cells. Since this is the main way that the virus infects humans, siliac acid does not mutate at rates anywhere near those of influenza. 

Recently, at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, scientists have engineered antibody fragments with enhanced sialic acid which will attract the binding of H and N proteins and prevent them from binding to host cells. 

Though this project is only in its beginning stages, its potential impact on future influenza antivirals is enormous and could help us produce a much more effective vaccine.

The next 2 doctors did laser surgery to remove them. 1 year after the surgery, they grew back close to where the 1st ones were' so I was finally told it was hpv.

  4. Just got diagnosed with HSV1, and reading this actually made me feel like crawling and crying like a baby. The outbreak I have right now is genital and in my throat and mouth, I talked to the doctor who did the blood test on me and said over time that it would eventually get much better. She said that what I’m having is a massive outbreak and is unusual, but that it may be due to the fact that I stressed myself out over it so much. She also told me even though I have it in the genital area that It doesn't mean that I needed “private to private” contact to acquire it. But this did make me feel a whole lot better about the whole situation. For anyone else to have HSV1 after all this stress and pains am passing and the doctor saying all such of crap i was not convince by his Theory so i decided to go on the internet and saw this comments by Rose who testify about how she get cured by root and herbs by Chief Dr Wealthy, when i first bump into it i didn't believe the comments at first so i decided to confront her on Facebook and really know what and how did it work because my doctor told me there is no cure for herpes, so i really contacted Chief Dr Wealthy, he responded in A minute the only thing he ever ask for was just the items of which he will use to prepare for the herbs, after all this he send the herbs through courier Services, within 2 week i was cure just like that without no struggle or stress, if you are out there in need of cure contact him with his email address: wealthylovespell@gmail.com or you Whatsapp him.+2348105150446
