...even a small percentage of sexually active men agreed to try a new method of birth control, that would amount to a colossal number of potential consumers. That's why Thompson doesn't believe the drug industry's hesitance to develop male hormonal birth control is merely about money. "The biggest hurdle that I've encountered in trying to share this information is a sort of knee-jerk reaction that men aren't interested in these kinds of contraceptives and that women won't trust them to take them," she says. "Neither of those assertions are supported by the data...
...disease is a complex pathologic process, and that is daunting," says Dr. Ronald Petersen, chair of the Alzheimer's Association's medical and scientific advisory council and director of the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. "But now we are beginning to segregate out different therapeutic targets and develop drugs that have an impact on each target, so in combination they may handle the disease better than any single approach...
...more discoveries are made, researchers hope they'll develop a better understanding of who is most at risk of Alzheimer's disease, how each patient's case is unique, and how best to treat specific patients with the drug and lifestyle changes that will be most effective for them. Taken together, these approaches could one day make the long goodbye of Alzheimer's a thing of the past...
There are other, more immediate payoffs of the new study. For one thing, it gives researchers a better understanding of how ALS progresses. Because the new nerve cells have the same genetic makeup as the patients' own diseased cells, Henderson says, they may very well develop signs of the disease in culture, allowing researchers to watch ALS unfold before they eyes. "Our lack of understanding of the disease process is preventing us from developing more efficient cures," says Henderson. "Because the disease is happening in the spinal cord, we don't have access to living samples of neurons undergoing...
This method takes regular human cells—in this case skin cells—and uses viruses to reprogram them into cells that can develop into any kind of human tissue, in theory providing all the benefits of embryonic stem cells...
