Discovery Of Tiny Protein-Activator Responsible For Brain Cell Damage In Huntington Disease
Johns Hopkins brain scientists have figured out why a faulty protein accumulates in cells everywhere in the bodies of people with Huntington"s disease (HD), but only kills cells in the part of the brain that controls movement, causing negligible damage to tissues elsewhere. The answer, reported this week in Science, lies in one tiny protein called "Rhes" that"s found only in the part of the brain that controls movement. The findings, according to the Hopkins scientists, explain the unique pattern of brain damage in HD and its symptoms, as well as offer a strategy for new therapy.

Smokefree Innotec, Inc. Addresses FDA Concerns About Electronic Cigarettes

Smokefree Innotec, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SFIO) issued a statement referring to articles in USA Today and The New York Times of Wednesday, July 22, and Thursday, July 23rd, regarding the FDA taking aim at electronic cigarettes. The national dailies stated that tests show that certain e-cigarettes contain "known carcinogens and toxic chemicals," including diethylene-glycol (an ingredient used in antifreeze, printing ink, brake fluid and glue) and nitrosamine (which is used in rubber products, the tobacco industry, and - less concentrated - in beer and fish-products). Thomas Schroepfer, President of Smokefree Innotec, stated, "The Company"s electronic cigarette was not among those tested and is completely different from those tested as we do not use any kind of transponder substance. We have received confirmations from industry s with knowledge of our product design and manufacturing process that no carcinogens or toxic chemicals capable of polluting our product are used in the manufacturing process and that the design of our product ensures a lower consumption level of nicotine, while still providing satisfaction to the consumer."
