White blood cell waste disposal system plays critical regulatory role
A new research study identifies a critical inhibitory step that is a key component of the feedback circuit regulating the balance between neutrophil production and destruction. The research, published in the March issue of Immunity, suggests that the process for disposal of dying neutrophils is actively linked to neutrophil production. A clear understanding of the processes that control neutrophi...Researchers rein in regulatory RNAs
A team of scientists led by Dr. Kuniya Abe from the RIKEN BioResource Center in Japan has performed one of the most comprehensive genome-wide experimental analyses of sense-antisense transcripts to date. Their findings are published in the April issue of the journal Genome Research. Sense-antisense transcripts, or SATs, are pairs of RNA molecules generated from opposite DNA strands at the...White Blood Cell 'Waste Disposal' System Plays Critical Regulatory Role

The Institute for OneWorld Health, the first nonprofit pharmaceutical company in the U.S., announced today it has received Orphan Drug Designation from the two leading regulatory agencies in the world, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA), for paromomycin to treat visceral leishmaniasis (VL). VL, also known as kala a...Novel regulatory mechanism identified for key tumor suppressor p53
Collaborating scientists from The Wistar Institute in Philadelphia and The Vienna Biocenter in Austria have identified a novel mechanism involved in normal repression of the p53 protein, perhaps the single most important molecule for the control of cancer in humans. The new molecular pathway described in the study suggests intriguing approaches to diagnosing or intervening in the progress...Human Regulatory T cell (Foxp3 / CD4 / CD25) Flow Cytometry staining Kit from eBioscience
Description:Human Regulatory T cell Staining Kit #2 (w/ APC Foxp3 PCH101, FITC CD4, PE CD25)...BD IMag Human Regulatory T Lymphocyte Separation Set for Isolation of Treg Cells
BD Biosciences is pleased to introduce the BD IMag Human Regulatory T Lymphocyte Separation Set DM (Cat. No. 558142) for the isolation of Treg cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The reagent set isolates Treg cells in two stages. First, negative selection is performed using BD IMag streptavidin particles with a cocktail of biotinylated monoclonal antibodies that rec...Emergence of Internet video is changing the regulatory landscape

GREEN BAY Lisa Scribner isnt worried about attracting good workers to Procter & Gambles manufacturing plant in Green Bay. Convincing the company to invest in the machinery, equipment and technology used by those workers is another matter. Since 1971, Procter & Gamble facilities that produce Charmin and Bounty and Puffs have increased 50 percent, with no machine being put in Green Bay, s...Support Regulatory Change to Boost Wisconsins Biotech Sector
Wisconsins business leaders in biotechnology and genetic testing know well the importance of federal regulations on analyte-specific reagents (ASRs), essentially the active ingredients of many genetic tests. Recent efforts to reform to these regulations could provide exciting opportunities for Wisconsin companies. Under current regulations, manufactures of ASRs, unlike traditional medic...Handbook cum diary on regulatory information
The Drug Inspectors' Association of Andhra Pradesh has brought out a handbook cum diary for the benefit of all chemists, drug manufacturers and the Association members in the state. The Association has managed to put together all necessary information with regard to the regulatory requirement in an easy-to-locate format in the diary. The information is to be extremely useful to the drug trade and...Drug regulatory officials giving the nod for sale of Unapproved drug formulations in India
In a recent court hearing over nimesulide, a controversial non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug prescribed in India to treat // fever and pain the health ministry admitted that drug formulations unapproved by India’s drug regulatory agency and not evaluated for effectiveness are prescribed and sold across the country. Social Jurist, a group of lawyers in New Delhi had filed a public i...Tumor Suppressor p53's Contradictory Regulatory System
A new study appearing in the online open-access journal PLoS Biology examines the role played by the tumor suppressor protein called p53. It has been found that any mutations of p53 play a key role in the development of many human cancers. //This particular study was carried out by Min Hu, Yigong Shi and colleagues. To provide a bit of background, when there a cell injury, p53 triggers...Human Complexity Can Be Attributed To Regulatory Sequence
Joseph M. Miano, Ph.D associate professor within the Cardiovascular Research Institute at the University of Rochester Medical Center said that // small regulatory DNA sequences control the genes and their functions. The researchers scanned the vast human DNA code to reveal 60 genes controlled by one such regulatory sequence. The findings of the study were published in the journal Geno...The Lancet Calls For Review Of Regulatory Process Of Drug Trials
The medical journal Lancet has called for immediate changes in the approval processes and regulation of human trials of biological drugs. This call came after the trial of TGN1412 ended in disaster with six patients admitted in the // hospital in serious condition. The journal says that since the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) authorized the trial, it is...
