Engineered Protein Shows Promise as New Hemophilia Treatment

Nitric Oxide-Emitting Nanomaterials Kill Microbes

In Search Of Misfolded Proteins

“The researchers have already used the technique to detect misfolded protein aggregates in cerebrospinal fluid from Alzheimer’s patients (PLoS One, DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0015725). They now plan to test the diagnostic usefulness of the assay in larger groups of patients with Alzheimer’s and other diseases.”

The price of innovation: new [2003] estimates of drug development costs.
