Washington, Nov 7 : A new study has suggested that unknown and unseen structures, which may be located beyond the current cosmological horizon, are tugging on our universe like cosmic magnets.

According to a report in New Scientist, Alexander Kashlinsky, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, led the study.

Everything in the known universe is said to be racing toward the massive clumps of matter at more than 2 million miles (3.2 million kilometers) an hour—a movement the researchers have dubbed “dark flow”.

“Dark flow” was named in reference to dark energy and dark matter—two other unexplained astrophysical phenomena.

Washington, November 7 (ANI): A new study has revealed that the anti-herpes drug acyclovir can slow down HIV infection, but with the risk that treated cells may promote the emergence of multi-drug resistant HIV variants.

Moira McMahon and colleagues at Johns Hopkins used a sensitive infection assay of white blood cells, and observed that acyclovir could directly inhibit HIV replication.

The researchers said that the drug particularly targeted the reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme, which converts HIV’s RNA into DNA to enable it to replicate.

However, as early as five days after initial infection, a mutant version of HIV (V75I) appeared in the cells, and spread to comprise over 90 per cent of the viral population within 94 days.
