By STEPHANIE NANO Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) – Researchers are reporting the first treatment to speed recovery from severe brain injuries caused by falls and car crashes: a cheap flu medicine whose side benefits were discovered by accident decades ago. Severely injured patients who were given amantadine got better faster than those who received a dummy medicine. After four weeks, more people in the flu drug group could give reliable yes-and-no answers, follow commands or use a spoon or hairbrush – things that few of them could do at the start.

New treatment using inhaled interferon may improve lung function in pulmonary fibrosis
Public release date: 29-Feb-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Cathia Falvey cfalvey@liebertpub.com 914-740-2100 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News New Rochelle — Inhaled interferon-gamma may be an effective treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic and progressive form of lung disease caused by excessive formation of fibrotic, or scar tissue, in the lungs, according to an article published in Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery (http://www.liebertpub.com/jamp), a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. (http://www.liebertpub.com) The article on inhaled interferon-gamma (http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/jamp.2011.0919) is available free online at the Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery website. Normally, systemic delivery of interferon-gamma can cause substantial side effects; however, delivery of aerosolized interferon-gamma directly into the lungs was shown to be safe and was associated with significantly reduced levels of profibrotic regulatory proteins.

European Researchers and Pharmas Launch Effort to Link Gene Markers to Diabetes, Personalize Drugs
By Turna Ray Researchers from 21 European institutions and four major drug companies have launched a large research effort to identify molecular biomarkers associated with type 2 diabetes, develop an algorithm that can predict patient response to existing drugs, and use the markers to advance new personalized treatments for the disease. With 45 million ($61 million) in funding from the European Union and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, researchers involved in the Diabetes Research for Patient Stratification, or DIRECT, project will apply systems biology and pathway analysis approaches to investigate more than 100,000 samples from type 2 diabetes patients.
