Crystal Meth 04/07

February 17, 2010 - 7:07 pm 5 Comments


Central Valley, California, is home to some of the most impoverished rural towns in America, where crystal meth addiction is prolific. In Fresno, Louis finds a community ravaged by this cheap and highly addictive drug. As he infiltrates the town, he experiences the reality of meth abuse, as addicts who are high (or ‘tweaking’, as it is known) invite him into their homes to see them take hit after hit of their favourite drug. Louis becomes surrounded by the madness of daily addiction and the meth-addled confusion which is breaking this community apart. He sees its impact through the eyes of the local police, and meets Diane and Karl, a couple who have sustained their marriage despite a 25-year meth addiction and losing custody of their five children. He witnesses arrests of sons doing meth with their mothers, and family after family broken apart from generations of meth abuse. At the Westcare residential centre, Louis sees the work being done to combat the destruction caused by the drug. Run by ex-addicts, it offers a six-month rehab programme. He witnesses the extraordinary challenges they face dealing with meth-addicted families – babies born already hooked, with mothers caring for them while attempting to kick their own habit too. Addiction is laid bare as Louis seeks out the stories and the people behind the drug.

Mode of action of trabedersen (AP12009) in Cancer Treatment

February 17, 2010 - 7:07 am 1 Comment


Malignant brain tumors (high-grade glioma), pancreatic cancer and malignant melanoma are among the most aggressive tumors known. Antisense Pharma is vigorously testing its product trabedersen (AP 12009) in different clinical studies with the aim to meet the unmet medical need for effective and innovative approaches to treat these cancers. Trabedersen downregulates the generation of one of the most important tumor-promoting factors – TGF-beta2 (TGF-β2) – at the molecular level. With its proangiogenic and promigratory effects, TGF-β2 plays a pivotal role in explosive tumor progression and the aggressive spread of tumor cells throughout the body (metastazation). In addition, tumor-derived TGF-β2 overexpression builds up a protective shield around the tumor. This shield results in an inactivation of immune cells and allows the tumor to escape the bodys immune surveillance. The tumor cells can spread unhindered throughout the body. The antisense drug trabedersen blocks the translation of the TGF-β2 mrna and thus downregulates its synthesis, destroying the protective shield around the tumor. Further tumor growth is consequently inhibited and the bodys own immune system is reactivated, enabling the immune cells to combat the cancer cells.
