Amyloid protein fingered for Type 2 diabetes - FierceBiotech Research

by John Carroll

But rather than attacking the cells directly, the new research indicates that amyloid protein actually interferes with an immune cell that the body relies on to clear up debris. Researchers noted some years ago that the aberrant protein was present in pancreatic tissue samples taken from diabetics, a disease that typically develops later in life. , Scientists in Dublin, Ireland theorize that amyloid protein can trigger a reaction that ultimately destroys insulin-producing pancreatic cells. "What we have is a second indirect mechanism which can lead to the destruction of beta cells, and this could be helpful when looking at other diseases which may involve amyloid, such as Alzheimer's," Leeds University scientist Eric Hewitt tells...

Does anyone know which biotech research company has the highest projected 10-year earnings?

May 10, 2007 by St. Nagelkopf | Posted in Investing

If so, what do you know about investment options for this company? I think the line between biotechnology and cybernetics will blur in the future --blurry lines notwithstanding, what an exciting future it will be!

I wouldn't trust a 10 year forecast for any biotech company. I don't think you can look any farther out than 3, MAYBE 5 years. The field is changing way too fast to think a 10 year number will have any relevance.
