BioCurex CEO Highlights Recent Presentation of Its RECAF Test at ...

BioCurex is commercializing its technology through licensing arrangements with companies that develop and market diagnostic tests for the large automated clinical laboratory setting, through development and marketing of non-automated clinical... "The potential to monitor recurrence and perhaps the effectiveness of cancer therapy using only one blood test for all types of cancer makes the RECAF test broadly appealing. Moro made two presentations related to the Company's broad spectrum cancer marker, RECAF™, that is increased in the blood of cancer patients. Also, the fact that RECAF can detect cancers such as breast cancer, for which there are no good alternative markers, makes it more attractive. The second presentation discussed the statistical validation of new cancer markers based on the experience gathered while developing RECAF. is a biotechnology company that is developing products based on patented and proprietary technology in the area of cancer diagnostics. The meeting was broadly attended by scientists, physicians and biotechnology companies involved in cancer diagnostics. RECAF is a molecule that is present on cancer cells but not detected in significant levels on healthy cells or benign tumor cells. Moro was asked to co-author a paper setting up guidelines related to the statistical validation of new tumor markers. These results together with other data indicate that the RECAF test can be used to monitor therapy and recurrence in cancer patients. This characteristic makes RECAF a more accurate indicator of cancer than most current tumor markers. BioCurex has signed licensing agreements for its cancer detection blood tests with Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT ) and with Inverness Medical Innovations. The technology identifies a universal cancer marker known as RECAF.

"This was a very important meeting for BioCurex because of the interest elicited by our presentations," said Dr. Moro.

ALS Institute, Neurotune to Evaluate Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Therapeutic ...

The ALS Therapy Development Institute and Neurotune established a collaboration to evaluate one of the latter’s neuromuscular diseases candidates in an ALS disease model. ALS is associated with motor neurons and their axons becoming disconnected from muscle, and Neurotune has identified a class of compounds designed to maintain neuromuscular junction strength and stability.

Switzerland-based Neurotune is developing a pipeline of drugs that act to modulate connections between nerve cells and their target cells, for the treatment of nervous system disorders including sarcopenia (age-related loss of muscle mass and strength) and chronic pain.

The firm’s sarcopenia program hinges on modulating the neurotrypsin-agrin system, an imbalance that is believed to represent a key factor in sarcopenia. Neurotune is developing both sarcopenia diagnostic and therapeutic candidates, and holds relevant neurotrypsin- and agrin-related IP. In March the firm launched NTCAF ELISA, which it claims is the first ELISA-based diagnostic assay for sarcopenia. Developed in collaboration with MicroCoat Biotechnologie through the Eureka-Eurostars program, the biomarker-based assay is designed to identify the 40% or so of patients whose sarcopenia is caused by excessive neurotrypsin activity.

What are the best sites for news on technology and biotechnology?



most of the really good technical journals also have really good websites.
nature.com has nature.com/nbt for nature biotech.

There is also NCBI, the pubmed people.
