Immunology: Highlights From A Hot Biological Field
Scott Veggeberg | Mar 21, 1993 | 6 min read
Some of the most influential papers in 1992, according to data provided by the Philadelphia-based Institute for Scientific Information, were in immunology. This is not surprising, given the field's applications in stemming AIDS, cancer, and other pressing diseases. The most cited paper published within the last two years is from the Max Planck Institute for Biology in Tbingen, Germany (K. Falk, et al., Nature, 351:290, 1991). This paper, which by the end of February 1993 had been referred to i
Psychoactive Drugs and Infectious Diseases
A. J. S. Rayl | Apr 16, 2000 | 10+ min read
For nearly a century, it's been known that drugs of abuse alter the immune system. Since the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s, however, an explosion of data has given rise to a rapidly evolving area of research. Investigators around the world have shown that such psychoactive drugs as heroin, morphine, cocaine, and marijuana affect both the neurophysiologic and immunologic systems. In recent years, researchers have produced strong experimental evidence that these drugs of a
Battle Against Drug Addiction Must Be Waged From Better Financed Laboratories
Stanley Korenman | Jan 19, 1990 | 4 min read
The "war on drugs" will not be won in the jungles of Colombia or along the borders of the United States. Drug abuse will come under control when we, as scientists, find ways to relieve addicts of their compulsive need for a fix. Addictions are chronic diseases originating in adolescence and young adulthood. Although the decision to experiment with drugs may have been voluntary, what occurs thereafter is a physiological disorder, not a "failure of will." Susceptibility to addiction is an inhere
