Deadly Leukemia Stem Cells Found And Eliminated By New Targeted Therapy
New research describes a molecular tool that shows great promise as a therapeutic for human acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a notoriously treatment-resistant blood cancer. The study, published by Cell Press in the July 2nd issue of the journal Cell Stem Cell, describes exciting preclinical studies in which a new therapeutic approach selectively attacks human cancer cells grown in the lab and in animal models of leukemia.

Potential Medical Applications For Interactive Data Eyeglasses
For car designers, secret agents in the movies and jet fighter pilots, data eyeglasses - also called head-mounted displays, or HMDs for short - are everyday objects. They transport the wearer into virtual worlds or provide the user with data from the real environment. At present these devices can only display information. "We want to make the eyeglasses bidirectional and interactive so that new areas of application can be opened up," says Dr. Michael Scholles, business unit manager at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS in Dresden. A group of scientists at IPMS is working on a device which incorporates eye tracking - users can influence the content presented by moving their eyes or fixing on certain points in the image. Without having to use any other devices to enter instructions, the wearer can display new content, scroll through the menu or shift picture elements. Scholles believes that the bidirectional data eyeglasses will yield advantages wherever people need to consult additional information but do not have their hands free to operate a keyboard or mouse. The Dresden-based researchers have integrated their system"s eye tracker and image reproduction on a CMOS chip. This makes the HMDs small, light, easy to manufacture and inexpensive.

Universal Detection Technology Applies For CAGE And NSN Codes For Its Biological Detection Equipment

Universal Detection Technology (OTCBB: UNDT), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies to protect people from bioterrorism and other infectious health threats and provider of counter-terrorism consulting and training services, announced that it has applied for CAGE and NSN Stock numbers for its biological detection equipment. The numbers will facilitate the sales of the items to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The DOD, which spends 75 cents of every federal government contracting dollar, has its own government contractor classification system. The Commercial And Government Entity, or CAGE, code is a five-character ID number that identifies government contractors. CAGE codes are an important part of winning federal government contracts. The NATO Stock number (NSN) is a classification code that NATO assigns to its defense inventory. NATO affiliated countries follow common standards and techniques to assign NSNs to items of supply in their defense inventory. The National Codification Bureau (NCB) within each country centrally assigns their national NSNs. The assignment of an NSN fixes the identity of each distinctive item of supply. "The obtaining of the CAGE and NSN codes will allow us to increase our sales to the U.S. DOD as well as the NATO affiliated countries," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UNDT"s Chief Executive Officer. "We are planning a dedicated marketing effort for our biological detection equipment in Europe," he added. Universal Detection Technology
