Recent Biology

Other clinical trials with CCR2 antagonists are underway [1], but no reports have been forthcoming. Both MLN-1202, a humanized anti-CCR2 antibody, and MK-0812, a small molecule antagonist, were examined in rheumatoid arthritis (vide supra) and are also being examined in multiple sclerosis. Two additional small molecules - CCX-915 and INCB-8696 - have entered phase 1 trials with multiple sclerosis as a projected phase 2 trial. An intention to study INCB-8696 in systemic lupus erythematosus has also been declared. Finally, phase 2 clinical

Coffee Break is a general healthcare site that takes a scientific view of the news and covers recent breakthroughs in biology that may one day assist physicians in developing treatments. Here you will find a collection of short reports on recent biological discoveries. 

Labile compounds for assessment of contemporary or recent biological processes. 

The final section of the book is devoted to microbiological control of mineral slurries. The first paper by Duddridge explores the EC s recent Biological Products Directive and speculates on the challenges that this will create for biocide producers, formulators and mineral slurry processors. The final two papers by Gutherie and Martin both introduce new microbiological control regimes.

Recently, biologicals such as anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody have been used to combat acute rejection. Chronic rejection usually occurs months or even years after transplantation. It is characterized by thickening and fibrosis of the vasculature of the transplanted organ, involving both cellular and humoral immunity. Chronic rejection is treated with the same drugs as those used for acute rejection. 

Free-fall reactors (FFR) are a good choice for rapid or flash pyrolysis. They have been widely harnessed to pyrolyze coal and, more recently, biological mass. A pioneering group at Ankara University was the first to attempt pyrolysis of waste plastics in a FFR. Then-results are very promising indeed compared with other alternatives in the literature. 

Metal nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest due to their properties and applications related to size effects, which can be appropriately studied in the framework of nanophotonics [1]. Metal nanoparticles such as silver, gold and copper can scatter light elastically with remarkable efficiency because of a collective resonance of the conduction electrons in the metal (i.e., the Dipole Plasmon Resonance or Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance). Plasmonics is quickly becoming a dominant science-based technology for the twenty-first century, with enormous potential in the fields of optical computing, novel optical devices, and more recently, biological and medical research [2]. In particular, silver nanoparticles have attracted particular interest due to their applications in fluorescence enhancement [3-5]. 

Over the centuries, there have been a multitude of theories about the etiology of schizophrenia. These have ranged from religious, social, and psychological theories to more recent biological theories. 

In this part of the chapter, we try to systematically present the most recent, biological effects and biomedical applications of the phenothiazine and benzo[a]phenothiazine derivatives. 

In the United States a more recent biological terrorism attack occurred in 2001 when letters laced with infectious anthrax were delivered to news media offices and the US Congress. The letters killed five people . While many believed this attack to be in relation to Iraq s development of biological weapons, the anthrax strand used seemed to indicated a domestic source.
