| Description |
Aug. 21, 2003 - A human gene named ATR normally protects people by preventing the replication of cells damaged by radiation or toxic chcmicals. Now, Utah and New York researchers have discovered how a gene in the AIDS virus hijacks the human gene and turns it into a weapon that prevents reproduction of immune-system white blood cells, leaving AIDS patients vulnerable to deadly infections and cancer. |
