Successful Malaria Vaccine Also Proves Effective in Infants
Scientific American – Jan 27, 2008
The researchers speculate that it works much like other. Neither on its own is sufficient however according to physician W. Ripley Ballou vice president of global clinical research and development at GSK Biologicals. “There is something really important” he says “in having both arms of the immune system working. A large trial to determine the overall efficacy of the vaccine in children of all ages is expected to begin late next year assuming results from ongoing safety trials continue to be positive. That trial will enroll at least 16000 children from as many as 10 areas in seven African countries Ballou says.

The four-storey complex has been designed by CUH2A a recognised leader in designing facilities for science and technology institutions. Abdulqader Alkhayat Executive Director DuBiotech said: ‘The Nucleotide Complex demonstrates DuBiotech’s serious commitment to developing sustainable buildings that accommodate leading clinical research institutions. In conformity with TECM’s overall strategy the complex is already classified as a LEED certified ‘green’ building reflecting our social and environmental responsibility objectives. ‘In addition to its modern amenities the Nucleotide Complex will house the region’s first pre-clinical vivarium a laboratory for animal testing spread over 10000 sq feet. This is the first time companies engaged in animal testing will have a facility dedicated to this type of research. ‘ The Nucleotide Complex will allow companies to carry out laboratory-based research and analysis without the need to build their own dedicated facilities.
Mitochondrial ‘bottleneck’ cracked
EurekAlert – EurekAlert (press release) – Jan 27, 2008
However mitochondrial diseases differ both in location and severity depending on where and at what levels the mutations are distributed. Defective mitochondria cause most damage in muscles nerves and the brain the parts of the body which consume the most energy. “Inheritance of mitochondrial diseases within families has proved incredibly difficult to predict” says Professor Patrick Chinnery a Wellcome Trust Senior Clinical Research Fellow at Newcastle University. “A mother can pass on a small proportion of mutant mtDNA or a very high proportion and this can make the difference between a child being born without disease and another having a very severe form of the disease. A woman’s eggs are formed at a very early stage in her development. As a precursor cell divides into a number of eggs so the mitochondria from that cell are distributed randomly throughout these eggs. Hence different eggs can contain very different amounts of mutant mtDNA which determine the amount of mutant genetic material that is passed on to the next generation.
