South African Tribunal Asks For Damages Estimates in GSK AIDS Drug Case

...ousands of South Africans were unable to afford or obtain GSK’s life-saving AIDS drugs, and we believe thousands of those individuals have died of AIDS as a result. We thank the Tribunal for its order allowing our complaint to proceed and we look forward to fully presenting our case against GSK before the T...

Different microarray systems more alike than previously thought

...e labs, my intuition was that different labs might obtain very different answers even when using the same platform," said Irizarry. "But we show that platforms can agree rather well, and that there is a large lab effect that accounts for why others thought comparisons revealed inconsistencies." "This is go...

UNC launches study of liver injury caused by drugs

...e and the most common reason why new drugs fail to obtain approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said Dr. Paul Watkins, DILIN Steering Committee chairman and the study's principal investigator at UNC. "This is the case even though drugs that cause liver injury are usually entirely safe for the ...

New Estimates For The Causes Of Child Deaths Worldwide

...ublications and ongoing studies in 2000 to 2003 to obtain new estimates for mortality by cause in children younger than age 5 years. They found the four communicable disease categories account more than half (54%) of all child deaths. Infection of the blood or pneumonia in newborn babies and pneumonia in ol...

Infants With Rare Genetic Disease Saved by Cord Blood Stem Cells

...atching adult donor can takes months to locate and obtain if available at all, said Kurtzberg. Similar benefits of cord blood were seen in an earlier Duke study of children with Hurler Syndrome, results of which were published in the May 6, 2004, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. In that study,...

Nanoparticles offer new hope for detection and treatment

...cause all tumors must recruit new blood vessels to obtain nutrients as they grow. Nevertheless, melanoma has unique traits that make it especially interesting as a target for nanoparticle therapy. Melanoma has a horizontal phase, when it spreads across the skin surface, and a vertical phase, when it goes d...

Microbial fuel cell: High yield hydrogen source and wastewater cleaner

...ion processes. We can theoretically use our MFC to obtain high yields of hydrogen from any biodegradable, dissolved, organic matter -- human, agricultural or industrial wastewater, for example -- and simultaneously clean the wastewater. "While there is likely insufficient waste biomass to sustain a global ...

...ewer chemical inputs. For example, producers would obtain higher yields of a safer and higher quality grain that is resistant to Fusarium head blight, commonly referred to as scab. Scab problems have occurred on an annual basis during the past decade, and severe epidemics nearly devastated the crop in Virgi...

Insight into natural cholesterol control suggests novel cholesterol-lowering therapy

...rsity of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Cells obtain cholesterol, an important component of cell membranes, by building it internally or by taking it up from the bloodstream. The cholesterol-building process involves more than 25 enzymes, including one called HMG CoA reductase, and many layers of regul...

Iron exporter revealed that may explain common human disorder

...tilize iron. Mammals, including humans, initially obtain iron from their mothers. After birth, the intestine absorbs dietary iron and releases it into the bloodstream where developing red blood cells incorporate the iron into hemoglobin. When red blood cells die, macrophage cells consume them and recycle t...

Ciampaglio acknowledges that people seem to have a fascination with sharks. "The general public seems to like sharks, and maybe this is because they bring out the fears of our chil...

Surprising findings reported about iron overload

A previous UAB study found that primary care physicians provided fewer than 70 percent correct responses about screen...

Expression Project for Oncology (expO) completes first phase of standardized gene expression analyses

Over a three-year period, IGC expects to obtain 2,000 to 3,000 tumor specimens representing a broad spectrum of malignancies and 500-1,000 normal tissues. expO has exceeded its first-year milestone of collecting consented and clinically annotated tumor biospecimens in a highly standardized format...

Asthma gene clusters identified

But because asthma begins in childhood, the genes identified in adults may not reflect genes involved in childhood asthma, she said. This study exclusively focused on ...

Children's taste sensitivity and food choices influenced by taste gene

... responsive to bitter taste. Using cheek swabs to obtain genetic samples, researchers classified 143 children and their mothers into three groups based on their TAS2R38 genotype: Type AA had two bitter-insensitive sites (alleles), type PP had two bitter-sensitive alleles, and type AP had one of each. To p...
