Xlcc Sost dry port: Sino-Trans files appeal against chief court s decision
A team of scientists has developed a new safety index for a common group of chemotherapy drugs, by using a stem cell model to screen such therapies for their potential to damage patients鈥?hearts.The study, published new balance 550 in Science Translational Medicine, was co-authored by Paul Burridge, Ph nike air forces D, assistant professor of Pharmacology.Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), a class of chemotherapy drugs, have become increasingly important in treating many types of cancer. But almost all TKIs are also associ air forces ated with cardiovascular side effects 鈥?ranging from arrhythmias to heart failure 鈥?and there has not yet been an effective tool to predict this cardiotoxicity.In the current study, the scientists demonstrated that human-induced pluripotent stem cells can be used to model how TKIs might affect the hearts of patients receiving chemotherapy.To do so, the scientists took stem cells from both a control group and patients with cancer and reprogrammed them to become cardiomyocytes, or heart muscle cells. On the face of it, the experience was not all that pleasant for Pakistan as the host, India and the main protagonist of the Heart of Asia (HoA) Conference, Afghanistan used the multilateral meet in Amritsar to gang up against Pakistan in order to vent their respective self-serving anti-Islamabad tirade. But for Pakistan the price was not high enough to cancel the fact that by attending the meet it won the much needed goodwill of the rest of the participants. Indeed, Pakistan did well to keep its eyes on the ball 鈥?the real purpose of the multilateral meet, rather than be distracted by its bilateral problems with its two immedi nb 550 ate neighbours. The HoA ini stanley brand tiative was launched in 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey for encouraging economic and security cooperati ugg hausschuhe on between Afghanistan and its neighbours for dealing with the common problems of terrorism, extremism and poverty.
