Podium Session 3: Pediatrics

Podium for the opposition?

This is quite a paradoxical era. Scientific research is in its most productive phase and it continues to produce many beneficial technologies for mankind. For example, we rapidly progress towards a better understanding of many diseases and come up with multiple new approaches to cure them. At the same time, however, the voices against science and technology have never been more shrill. But unsu...

Session 3 : Infectious diseases

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) entry into target cells appears to be triggered when two heptad repeat regions in the ectodomain of gp41 associate, converting the prefusogenic form of gp41 to a fusogenic form. Peptides from these two heptad repeat regions, designated N51 and C43, form a coiled coil consisting of an ƒÁ-helical trimer of heterodimers which approximates the core of the...

Session 3 : Emerging technologies

The intrinsic properties of antibodies has resulted in them becoming widely exploited as tools in both basic research and the treatment of human disease. This, especially the latter, has been made possible through our increased understanding of antibody structure. The sequences of thousands of antibodies has been determined, and as an early example of the use of bioinformatics, the mechanism by...
