Researchers Develop Novel 3-D Culture System
for Inflammatory Breast Cancer
(08 DECEMBER 2012)
Inflammatory breast cancer is a very rare and aggressive disease.
To understand how this type of cancer spreads, it's crucial to
characterize the interactions between cancer cells and their 3-D
environment. Researchers have developed a novel, 3-D culture
system that mimics the environment surrounding these cancer
cells. This model could be used to test new anticancer drugscapable of inhibiting the spread of IBC tumors.
Pre-Clinical Data Suggests Effective
Against Leukemia(09 DECEMBER 2012)
Angiocidin, a novel tumor-inhibiting protein, has been shown to
reduce acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells in vivo by almost two-
thirds in pre-clinical experiments.
Brain Displays an Intrinsic Mechanism for
Fighting Infection(10 DECEMBER 2012)
White blood cells have long reigned as the heroes of the immunesystem. When an infection strikes, the cells, produced in bone
marrow, race through the blood to fight off the pathogen. But new
research is emerging that individual organs can also play a role in

immune system defense, essentially being their own hero. In a
study examining a rare and deadly brain infection, scientists have
found that the brain cells of healthy people likely produce their
own immune system molecules, demonstrating an "intrinsic
immunity" that is crucial for stopping an infection.
Biologists Engineer Algae to Make Complex
Anti-Cancer 'Designer' Drug? (10 DECEMBER 2012)
Biologists have succeeded in genetically engineering algae to
produce a complex and expensive human therapeutic drug used to
treat cancer. Their achievement opens the door for making these
and other "designer" proteins in larger quantities and much more
cheaply than can now be made from mammalian cells.
Does Changing the Price of Medicine Influence
Consumers' Perceived Health Risk?
(11 DECEMBER 2012)
Consumers assume their risk of getting a serious illness is higher
when medications are cheaper because they believe that prices for
life-saving products are based on need and not profit, according toa new study.

Got Food Allergies? You Can Now Test Your
Meal On the Spot Using a Cell Phone
(12 DECEMBER 2012)
Scientists have developed a lightweight device called the iTube,
which attaches to a common cell phone to detect allergens in food
samples. The iTube attachment uses the cell phone's built-in
camera, along with an accompanying smart-phone application
that runs a test with the same high level of sensitivity a laboratorywould.
'Smart Stethoscope' Advance in Monitoring
Treatment of Kidney Stones (12 DECEMBER 2012)
A new listening device is being used to monitor the effectiveness of
the treatment of kidney stones -- saving patients unnecessary
repeat therapy and x-ray monitoring. The new 'Smart stethoscope'
is placed on a patient's skin as they undergo shock wave treatment
for kidney stones and assesses whether the treatment is working.

Study Paves Way to Design Drugs Aimed at
Multiple Protein Targets at Once
(12 DECEMBER 2012)
Pharmaceutical chemists had suggested that the objective of a
drug hitting multiple targets simultaneously is impossible and
unlikely to succeed. A new study shows how to efficiently and
effectively make designer drugs that can do that.

HEALTH AWARENESS
Health and Human Right
The does not mean the right to be healthy, nor does it mean that poorgovernments must put in place expensive health services for which they have no
resources. But it does require governments and public authorities to put in place
policies and action plans which will lead to available and accessible health care for all
in the shortest possible time. To ensure that this happens is the challenge facing both
the human rights community and public health professionals.
