Thymomodulin Bibliography

The following bibliography includes all the medical-journal
articles we can find about thymomodulin -- not only regarding
HIV, but research for any use.

This bibliography is in two parts. Part I includes 41
articles indexed under "thymomodulin" by the U.S. National
Library of Medicine, in the MEDLINE or AIDSLINE databases.
These are the articles that U.S. researchers will find when
they do a standard computer search.

Part II includes 41 different articles, which U.S.
researchers will not usually find when doing a computer
search, either because they are not indexed under
"thymomodulin," or because they are not indexed at all, in
the U.S. databases. Hundreds -- probably thousands -- of
European medical journals are not indexed in the U.S.
computers; when articles are published in those journals, the
U.S. medical and scientific community usually does not know
of their existence. Much early, leading-edge research about
potential treatments for AIDS, cancer, and other conditions
remains largely unknown in the U.S. (U.S. researchers could
find these in EMBASE [Excerpta Medica database], but that is
not the usual procedure.) We prepared this two-part
bibliography so that U.S. researchers would know how much
work has been done with thymomodulin.

The articles in each section are arranged in order by
publication year, with the most recent year first. We
included the institution at which the work was done, when
that was available, to show how many research groups which
have worked with this substance.
