Cutting off Mediation. Agamben as Master Thinker

Cutting the head off chemokines

Chemokines are small secreted proteins that attract leukocyte migration. Chemokines play essential roles in the normal immune response against invading pathogens. Unfortunately, in an unregulated state they can also mediate abnormal leukocyte infiltration in ARDS, postinfarction damage, and multiple auto-immune diseases. In addition, chemokines or their receptors have also been subverted for ne...

Cutting off cancer's supply lines.

Targeting the blood vessels that feed tumours is not the silver bullet once hoped for, but refinements to the strategy may suggest further ways to treat the disease. Erika Check Hayden reports. Drugs that aim to choke off a tumour's blood supply, known as angiogenesis inhibitors, have been hailed as opening a new era in cancer therapy. But a flurry of animal studies suggests that such drugs may...
