1. Parasite's unusual metabolism __Plasmodium falciparum__ may have evolved a unique, non-cyclic version of the textbook energy-producing process in cells known as the Krebs cycle -- presumably as an adaptation to living inside human blood cells -- a finding that could lead to new Malaria drug targets.

New Molecular Tools Enable Researchers To Correlate Viruses, Diseases
Karen Young Kreeger | Feb 4, 1996 | 7 min read
Viruses, Diseases Author: Karen Young Kreeger Sidebar: Professional Resources for Viral Disease Researchers In the mid- to late 1980s, numerous correlations were discovered between viruses and various types of cancers. For example, Epstein-Barr virus was associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and B-cell lymphoma, hepatitis B virus with liver cancer, and human papillomavirus with cervical cancer. Now, a decade later, basic and clinical scientists are finding out that viruses may also play a r
