Who Is Forging Ahead In The MS Treatment Space?

Posted: Published on February 20th, 2015

By Anna Rose Welch, associate editor The NIH estimates roughly $103 million of its budget will be spent on multiple sclerosis research in 2015. That seems like a small amount of money when it comes to the size of its $40 billion budget. But in doing some digging around, Im seeing signs that there are actually quite a few players big and small in the academic, bio, and pharma realms working in the MS treatment space to benefit the 400,000 U.S. and 2.3 million patients globally. The treatment space for MS is currently populated by some big names. These include Biogen Idecs quartet: Avonex, Tsyabri, Tecfidera, and Plegridy. Theres also Tevas Copaxone, Novartis Gilenya, Merck KGaAs Rebif, and Sanofis Aubagio and Lemtrada. But where does the industry stand in terms of finding new, innovative treatment options for the disease? Here are some of the recent efforts Ive stumbled upon as of late: We might end up seeing more from Novartis besides Gilenya in the future as well. According to the companys website, it has plans to enter its BAF312 in MS into trials sometime before 2019. While all these players have potential drug candidates in the works, a couple of … Continue reading →

Defending the First Amendment since 1911 | The independent student newspaper of Texas State University

Posted: Published on February 20th, 2015

Since the inception of stem cell research, controversy has unfortunately dominated much of the debate without properly considering the potential benefit it may bring to humanity. Stem cell research involves the manipulation and transfer of undesignated cells in hopes of regenerating other body cells that have been affected by general degeneration. This includes organ failure, tissue damage and even specific ailments like cancer, diabetes and Parkinsons disease. A stem cell may be used to create additional cells for skin, bone, liver, muscle, fat and even nerves. They are all crucial to the development and maintenance of the human bodys immune system. This research also occasionally utilizes cells from human embryoswhich is where most of the moral debate stems from. Critics of stem cell research typically condemn the practice for ethical reasons. Opponents claim it destroys life and physicians play God in terms of deciding the fate of a lab-grown human embryo. Without truly lending credence to the wonders of advanced medicine, anti-stem cell critics arent realizing that this research could potentially be Gods work. After all, such procedures unequivocally lead to the extension and increased protection of human life. Moral obligations aside, the arguments against stem cell research on the … Continue reading →

Precision medicine to prevent diabetes? Researchers develop personalized way to steer prevention efforts

Posted: Published on February 20th, 2015

How can we keep more people from joining the ranks of the 29 million Americans already diagnosed with diabetes? What if we could tell with precision who has the highest risk of developing the disease, and figure out which preventive steps are most likely to help each of them individually? Researchers have just released a "precision medicine" approach to diabetes prevention that could do just that -- using existing information like blood sugar levels and waist-to-hip ratios, and without needing new genetic tests. Their newly published model examined 17 different health factors, in an effort to predict who stands to gain the most from a diabetes-preventing drug, or from lifestyle changes like weight loss and regular exercise. Seven of those factors turned out to matter most. The model is published in the British Medical Journal by a team from the University of Michigan, VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System and Tufts Medical Center in Boston. They hope to turn it into a tool for doctors to use with patients who have "pre-diabetes," currently defined by abnormal results on a test of blood sugar after fasting. They also hope their approach could be used to develop similar precise prediction models for other … Continue reading →

Enhancing the Caffeine Experience and How Coffee Habits Relate to Our Genetic Code

Posted: Published on February 20th, 2015

Tucson, AZ. (PRWEB) February 19, 2015 Could genetic codedetermine someones coffee habit? Apparently so, according to a new study by researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH). Produced with the support of the Coffee and Caffeine Genetics Consortium and published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry this past fall, the studyone of several recent HSPH investigations of the popular beverageinvolved a meta-analysis of genomic data from more than 120,000 regular coffee drinkers of European and African ancestry. The researchers analyzed their subjects genetic makeup through DNA sequencing, and compared those results to self-reported coffee-drinking figures, in an effort to understand why some people need more of the stimulant than others to feel the same effect. Their data suggest that people instinctively regulate their coffee intake in order to experience the optimal effects of caffeine. Lead author Marilyn Cornelis, a former research associate in the HSPH nutrition department who is now assistant professor in preventive medicine at Northwestern, says their findings provide insight not only on why caffeine affects people differently, but also on how these effects influence coffee-drinking behavior. One individual, for example, may need three cups of coffee to feel invigorated, while another may need only … Continue reading →
