PositiveID Corporation Successfully Completes Phase I Development Of Its Rapid Virus Detection System
PositiveID Corporation (“PositiveID” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:PSID), in conjunction with its development partner RECEPTORS LLC (“Receptors”), announced today that it has successfully completed Phase I development of its rapid virus detection system, a non-invasive, point-of-care test to test patient samples and identify various forms of influenza within minutes…
Explanation For Rapid Maturation Of Neurons At Birth Found By Duke Researchers
At the moment a newborn switches from amniotic fluid to breathing air, another profound shift occurs: nerve cells in the brain convert from hyperexcitability to a calm frame against which outside signals can be detected. “Fetal neurons need hyperexcitability for proper development, because they are moving to the right places (in the brain) and forming the right connections,” said Wolfgang Liedtke, M.D., Ph.D.
Explanation for rapid maturation of neurons at birth
So a baby can detect outside signals, the brain cells use a a “pump” that drains chloride out of newborn neurons, making these highly chaotic, developing cells quiet down. Researchers have figured out the genetic control of the pump in rodents.
NanoViricides Platform Enables Rapid Development Of Robust Nanomedicines Against Influenza And HIV
NanoViricides, Inc. (OTC BB: NNVC.OB) (the “Company”), announced that Anil Diwan, PhD, President of the Company presented a talk at NanoBusiness 2009 – the 8th annual NanoBusiness Conference in Chicago, IL, on Wednesday, September 9th. Dr. Diwan described the salient features of nanoviricides technology. “Viruses can be fooled,” he said, adding, “We use their own smarts to attack them.
Flu Virus Ill-Suited For Rapid Transmission, But Researchers Say New Strain Bears Watching, Could Mutate
A team from MIT and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found a genetic explanation for why the new H1N1 “swine flu” virus has spread from person to person less effectively than other flu viruses. The H1N1 strain, which circled the globe this spring, has a form of surface protein that binds inefficiently to receptors found in the human respiratory tract, the team reports in the July 2 online edition of Science.
Development Of Rapid Approach To Identify Influenza A Virus Mutations And Drug Resistance
Genome Institute of Singapore scientists, led by Christopher Wong, Ph.D., have developed a novel approach to uncover the complete sequence of any influenza A virus, including H1NI, with just a quick nasal swab or nasal pharyngeal wash from patients.
Antiviral Guidelines And Rapid Tests For Diagnosing Influenza Available On National Prescribing Service Website, Australia
Health professionals are urged to follow guidelines issued by the Department of Health and Ageing when prescribing antivirals for the treatment of swine influenza (H1N1). The National Prescribing Service Ltd (NPS) made these guidelines available on its website last week, along with links to information from the US Centers for Disease Control, World Health Organisation and other industry organisations.
