the mechanism of transformation by RNA viruses. Benyesh-Melnick and co-workers describe the presence of DNA in purified murine leukemia-sarcoma virus preparations, suggesting that, in addition to unexpectedly complex enzymatic machinery, some tumor viruses may contain more than one type of nucleic acid. Several groups analyze differences in the membranes of transformed and normal cells. Burger,...

Inevitably, there is overlap with st...

Four decades of research on hormonal contraception.

Interactions with hormonal contraception.

All methods of contraception have failure rates. Additional failures may occur when interacting drugs are used, and knowledge of these mechanisms should help minimise such problems.
