Blood donated by four survivors of bird flu seems to harbor a potent protection against the deadly virus. Scientists have long suspected that culling immune-system molecules from survivors could provide a new therapy for the hard-to-treat H5N1 flu strain. Monday, an international team of researchers reported the first evidence, albeit from tests in mice, that it really may work.

The AIDS virus has hideouts deep in the immune system that today's drugs can't reach. Now scientists finally have discovered how HIV builds one of those fortresses Â and they're exploring whether a drug already used to fight a parasite in developing countries just might hold a key to break in.

A study in Japan suggests influenza is becoming resistant to drugs -- such as Relenza and Tamiflu -- designed to treat the virus. Researchers found that of 50 children admitted to a Japan hospital with the
