The Food and Drug Administration said companies could only charge patients for the cost of manufacturing experimental treatments used under compassionate grounds, and it cannot force government or private health insurers to pay for these drugs. "Compassionate use" of experimental drugs allows physicians to prescribe unapproved treatments for patients who have no other satisfactory alternatives in the market.

The critical issue with organ engineering outside of the body is the limited availability of human cells, a suitable matrix with the same composition and architecture of the target tissue and the ability to maintain the viability of the organ without a blood supply. The issue of maintaining the survival of engineered organs is addressable using bioreactors and chemically defined medium, and researchers have explored stem cells and engineered extracellular matrices to address the tissue engineered organs outside the body.

It has been established that not all cancer cells are equally aggressive. Most can be neutralized with radiation and chemotherapy. Researchers have now discovered that some cancer cells can accumulate fat droplets, which appear to make them more aggressive and increase their ability to spread.

A protein designed by researchers at Georgia State University can effectively target a cell surface receptor linked to a number of diseases, showing potential as a therapeutic treatment for an array of illnesses, including cancer, according to the research team.
ProAgio, which is created from a human protein, targets the cell surface receptor integrin αVβ3 at a novel site that has not been targeted by other scientists.

Looking for a method to keep muscle stem cells alive and viable for transplant back into a patient after genetic alteration to correct disease, researchers may have designed a "soup" that does just that. Researchers at Stanford University report in a new study they found combination of molecules, nutrients and artificial muscle fibers prevented muscle stem cells from beginning to divide and lose their ability to differentiate into other types of cells.

A new study finds that implementing the United Nations targets for HIV testing and treatment would be an expensive but ultimately very cost-effective way to increase survival, reduce the number of children orphaned by HIV and contain the global AIDS epidemic. That is the conclusion of researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of Cape Town and the Yale School of Public Health, who estimated the likely impact of the so-called "90-90-90" program.
