• Under Development: Micromagnetic- Microfluidic Blood Filter: The Ingber Lab at Harvard Medical School and Children' s Hospital Boston has developed a magnetic blood filtering system to get rid of microbes from blood in situ. This system works by adding plastic-coated iron-oxide beads that are coated with antibodies for a specific pathogen. The beads will then strongly adhere to the pathogen in the blood

• Mutant Swine Flu virus Crosses Species Barrier: Apparently the virus has been able to form mutations within its capsular wall by including proteins associated with human and avian flu strains. This new mutation makes it challenging for the human bodies immune system to recognize the pathogen and neutralize it.

• INTERVIEW-Sano fi hopes to market dengue vaccine by 2015 | Reuters: If a dengue survivor is later infected with another strain of dengue, the person is highly likely to develop haemorrhagic dengue fever, which can be deadly. Of the estimated 230 million people infected annually, two million, mostly children, develop dengue haemorrhagic fever, which is the top cause of hospitalisatio n in Southeast Asia, she said. Dengue outbreaks have risen in the Asia-Pacific in the past year, killing three times more people than in recent years, an official at the World Health Organisation said in March. Last year, 3,255 people died of the disease in the agency's Southeast Asia countries grouping, which includes South Asia and North Korea as well as Indonesia and Thailand.

• UI chemists' DNA biosynthesis discovery could lead to better antibiotics: Combating several human pathogens, including some biological warfare agents, may one day become a bit easier thanks to research reported by a University of Iowa chemist and his colleagues in the April 16 issue of the journal Nature. Amnon Kohen, associate professor of chemistry in the UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that the study indicated a new mechanism by which certain organisms manufacture the DNA base thymidylate. This new mechanism is so very different from the way humans synthesize this base that drugs targeting this biosynthetic path in the pathogens are unlikely to affect the human path, thus resulting in very reduced side effects or no side effects at all.
