July 2010 Newsletter
Dear Bryan,
This
summer has been very busy for us with exciting new projects and lots of
travel. We been to Detroit, Cleveland, New Jersey and New York all in
the past couple of weeks, but for your
convenience we will be attending these conferences:
ACS meeting in Boston from August 22 to 26 and ChemOutsourcing
conference in New Jersey, from September 14 to 16.
If
you are available to meet with us during any of these occasions, you can
contact Mel Bellott and we would be happy to set aside the
time to
discuss your Medicinal Chemistry and Custom Synthesis needs.
Researchers
identify what makes MRSA lethal
Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria commonly
found
on the skin that is relatively harmless unless it gets into the
bloodstream, where it can cause blood poisoning and create abscesses in
organs such as the heart and brain.
MRSA, or Methicillin
Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, can be
particularly dangerous because it is resistant to treatment with most
antibiotics. Read More
Plasma
Protein Appears to Be Associated With Development and Severity of
Alzheimer's Disease
Higher
concentrations of clusterin, a protein in the blood plasma, appears to
be associated with the development, severity and progression of
Alzheimer's disease, according to a report in the June issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one
of the JAMA/Archive journals.
Individuals
with Alzheimer's disease display several findings in their blood ans
cerebrospinal fluid that may reflect neuropathological changes. Read More
Scientists
grow new lungs
using 'skeletons' of old ones
For
someone with a severe, incurable lung disorder such as cystic fibrosis
or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a lung transplant may be the
only chance for survival. Unfortunately, it's often not a very good
chance. Matching donor lungs are rare, and many would -be recipients die
waiting for the transplants that could save their lives.
Specialists
in the emerging field of
tissue engineering have been hard at work on this for years. But they've
been frustrated by the problem of coaxing undifferentiated stem cells
to develop into the specific cell types that populate different
locations in the lung. Read More
