All that Philthy would describe as "the goods"- everything silly/thought-provoking/awesome he finds worth mentioning whilst dicking around on the interweb. Support my drinking habit by purchasing a couple beer koozies at 40cozy.com. 20% of all proceeds go to our company beer fund.

Nanoparticle Completely Eradicates Hepatitis C Virus Researchers at the University of Florida (UF) have developed a nanoparticle that has shown 100 percent effectiveness in eradicating the hepatitis C virus in laboratory testing. The nanoparticle, dubbed a nanozyme, consists of a backbone made from gold nanoparticles and a surface with two biological components. One biological component is an enzyme that attacks and destroys the mRNA, which provides the recipe for duplicating the protein that causes the disease. The other biological part is the navigator, if you will. It is a DNA oligonucleotide that identifies the disease-related protein and sends the enzyme on course to destroy it.
