Viruses engineered to attack themselves. Back to Gallery. Leor Weinberger calls it hijacking the hijacker. In his lab at the Gladstone Institutes, he's developed a technique for harnessing stray bits of HIV-a virus that infects and ultimately kills immune cells-and using them to attack the virus itself.ifferent viruses infect different types of cells. HIV, for example, infects immune cells, while cold and flu viruses infect cells in the respiratory tract. But one thing viruses have in common is their ability to insert their own genetic material into the DNA of the host cell, altering its function.
Sir Archy was originally named Robert Burns by Capt. Randolph, who bred the horse in partnership with Col. John Tayloe III. Capt. Randolph suffered a series of financial losses that forced the sale of his Ben Lomond estate in 1805.
The Arch of Constantine (Italian: Arco di Costantino) is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312. Dedicated in 315, it is the largest Roman triumphal arch. The arch spans the Via triumphalis, the way taken by the emperors when they entered the city in triumph. Though dedicated to Constantine, much of the decorative material incorporated earlier work from the time of the emperors Trajan (98â117), Hadrian (117â138) and Marcus Aurelius (161â180), and is thus a collage.
