This effect is particularly pronounced in the heart where estimates suggest that about 20 percent of Continued...

Seeking Alpha Article Features International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO), Touts Stem Cell Technology’s Bright Future

Posted on 6/29/2012 @ 5:15 PM in #Stocks by QualityStocks 0 comments

In an article published earlier today featuring key players in the stem cell industry, International Stem Cell Corp. was labeled as being possibly “the most promising” as the company has developed a breakthrough technology that provides pluripotent stem cells without using viable human embryos and without the issues associated with induced pluripotent stem cells or adult stem cells. Based upon unfertilized human eggs, ISCO’s technology also allows superior immune-matching capabilities.The idea behind stem cells has in fact been around for a very long time. Ever since the invention of the microscope and the development of cell theory, scientists have known that somehow the complex collection of specialized cells that make up the human body have their origin in a single fertilized egg. It was clear that, somewhere during the earliest stages of the developmental process, cells were being systematically transformed into specialized heart cells or nerve cells or liver cells or blood cells. The term “stem cell” was Continued...

FluoroPharma Medical, Inc. (FPMI) Targets #1 Most Wanted

Posted on 6/29/2012 @ 1:48 PM in #Stocks by QualityStocks 0 comments

In 1950, the FBI formally announced their Ten Most Wanted list to the world, in an attempt to promote the identification and capture of the most notorious fugitives. If there were a ten most wanted health list, coronary artery disease (CAD), still the world’s #1 killer, would be at the top. Several million people die every year from CAD. In the U.S., it is responsible for approximately one third of all deaths. It’s little wonder that the health industry is gunning for CAD in a big way. However, in spite of huge investments in drugs to fight the disease, it is becoming clear that drugs cannot cure coronary artery disease. Although progress has been made in reducing LDL (sometimes called the “bad” cholesterol, a risk factor for CAD), the fact remains that up to 35% of heart attack patients do not have high blood cholesterol levels, even though most of them have atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). In addition, attempts to use drugs to raise the level of HDL (“good” cholesterol) have proven unsuccessful. Continued...

Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc. (MMMW) Begins Construction of New Patent-Based Wind System

Posted on 6/28/2012 @ 5:15 PM in #Stocks by QualityStocks 0 comments

Mass Megawatts Wind Power today said it has commenced construction of a demonstration, low-cost wind system that utilizes the company’s patented wind augmentation technology, the Multi-Axis Turbo (MAT). To further demonstrate its technology’s potential, the company also announced that it will install a wind unit without the new low cost augmenter next to the augmented system to prove the MAT’s ability to lower the cost of producing wind-generated electricity. Mass Megawatts’ wind augmentation system was designed to increase by 70 percent the wind velocity directed at the turbine, which the company says subsequently triples the increase in the electrical power generated by the turbine. MAT ranges between 50 and 80 feet in overall height; by proving its efficacy in shorter heights, the company can eliminate the notion that turbine structures need to exceed that height to realize adequate wind velocity. Reducing the size of wind turbines reduces material and installation costs; can result in expediting zoning Continued...

BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (BDSI) Demonstrates Positive Results in Recent Study

Posted on 6/28/2012 @ 2:43 PM in #Stocks by QualityStocks 0 comments

BioDelivery Sciences International recently completed an FDA recommended trial as part of the New Drug Application (NDA) to examine the effects of multiple BEMA Buprenorphine/Naloxone (BNX) films administered concurrently. Results of the pharmacokinetic study were positive, indicating that the NDA is on track for submission in early 2013. BDSI expects to have key data from the study in the third quarter of 2012, and the final clinical requirement for an open label study will be initiated at this time.The intention of the study was to examine dose proportionality ahead of the forthcoming pharmacokinetic study. The results confirmed that the buprenorphine pharmacokinetics were nearly identical following multiple BNX films applied at one time compared to an equivalent dose administered as a single film. Additionally, a linear relationship was found in buprenorphine pharmacokinetics across the dose range of BNX administered, meaning that as doses of BNX increased, there was a corresponding increase in the amount Continued...
