Everyone was fast this spring: the businesses that contributed to the fund, the scientists and physicians who crafted research proposals, and the senior School of Medicine researchers who chose which proposals got money.
The complement system is part of the body’s immune system to fight pathogens and remove cell debris. Its role in two autoimmune diseases and a mental disorder is a surprise.
Dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention uses aspirin and one other drug, among several choices. But which drug is best to use?
This discovery may have clinical importance in management of heart failure.

The research is led by an Oregon cancer research institute, in collaboration with two biotech companies and the National Institutes of Health.
UAB Department of Cell, Developmental and Integrative Biology ranks fourth in nation for NIH funding
The ranking measured 79 anatomy/cell biology departments in U.S. medical schools.
The work centers around ReFRAME, a vast collection of drugs developed for other diseases that are already known to be safe for humans.
The goal is material that approaches a diamond in hardness and can survive extreme pressure, temperature and corrosive environments.
This discovery has implications in cancer, stem cell growth, and blood or neuron progenitor cell speciation.
