An experimental immune-system therapy appears safe for people with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis. And it may ease symptoms in some, a preliminary study suggests.
The findings are based on just six patients, and the Australian researchers stressed that a lot of work still lies ahead.

Scientists at St. Boniface Hospital Albrechtsen Research Centre and the University of Manitoba have developed a drug that combats two of the top 10 "priority pathogens" recently defined by the World Health Organization as antibiotic-resistant bacteria requiring new interventions. The drug, dubbed PEG-2S, has received a provisional patent, and its development is highlighted in a study published in the Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology.

Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center via Lab Manager
Transcription factors, the tiny proteins that switch genes on or off in the nucleus of cells, are considered unreachable molecular targets for drugs attempting to treat medical conditions. Overcoming this challenge, researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center discovered a small molecular compound that successfully blocks a transcription factor and its pro-inflammatory and hypermucous activity in asthma.

Strawberry extract can inhibit the spread of laboratory-grown breast cancer cells, even when they are inoculated in female mice to induce tumors, new research shows. However, the scientists do point out that these results from animal testing can not be extrapolated to humans.

Salk Institute and Chinese researchers said they have created a new kind of stem cell, one that is more versatile than any other grown in the lab.
The new cell type, called an extended pluripotent stem cell, can give rise to every cell in the body, the scientists said. This quality is missing in both leading alternatives — embryonic stem cells that are harvested from an embryo and artificial embryonic stem cells called induced pluripotent stem cells.

Still handwriting on tape to identify your vials? Not cool. Printing your own customized barcode labels containing all of your data that scan into your LIMS with 100% accuracy? Very cool. Those same labels staying put on vials put in cryogenic storage? Even cooler.

Studies reveal that a sizeable proportion of 911 medical emergency calls result in an ambulance ride and emergency room visit for a medical condition that is relatively simple and not truly urgent. Recognizing this fact, some innovative health systems are creating a mobile "emergency room" service that can go to the patient's home, provide appropriate care and save the time and costs of the ambulance transport and emergency room visit.

One of the most widely used antimicrobial products in use since 1964, triclosan, is also one of the top 10 environmental contaminants in rivers — possibly disrupting the endocrine systems of wildlife and causing toxic effects to their reproduction and development. Now, a new study at the University of Nevada, Reno has found a potential way to reduce the presence of the antimicrobial that is also linked to problems with antibiotic resistance.

Inspired by viruses that attack and kill bacteria, researchers at The Rockefeller University have created an entirely new weapon against disease-causing bacteria that shows great promise for treating drug-resistant infections.
In work described in the Proceedings for the National Academy of Sciences April 17, the team engineered molecules that accomplish something viruses do much better than the human immune system; namely, targeting specific carbohydrate molecules that appear on the surfaces of bacterial cells.
