Most streams that flow near cities and towns are laced with drugs that escape from sewage treatment plants or pharmaceutical factories. Although often occurring at concentrations of a few parts per trillion, these compounds can nevertheless hurt aquatic life, turning male fish into female fish with hormones or giving them the munchies with antianxiety medication. Now comes the first study that shows an effect of drugs on the base of the food webthe nutritious microbial slime that covers the streambed. Experts caution, however, that the work is preliminary. Theres a long list of chemicals that go down the drain, pass through sewage treatment plants, and end up in streams: antibiotics, caffeine, and ingredients in soaps and shampoos, to name just a few. Emma Rosi-Marshall, a stream ecosystem ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York, and colleagues in Illinois and Indiana, were curious about the impact of common chemicals on photosynthesis and respiration, which are fundamental to the life of an entire ecosystem. Measuring these processes is like taking the pulse of a stream, Rosi-Marshall says. The team examined biofilms, which are agglomerations of bacteria, algae, fungi, and organic matter that coat rocks on streambeds. Biofilms … Continue reading →

Apr. 1, 2013 In the fight against malaria, cancer drugs are far from being considered a useful tool. But new research at Seattle BioMed reveals that liver cells, which are first infected by Plasmodium parasites after their transmission by mosquito bite, actually behave in similar ways to cancer cells. The work also shows that with the help of cancer drugs, the liver can become a hostile environment for the malaria parasite. This exciting new development is published in this month's issue of the journal Cell Reports. Humans get malaria by bites from mosquitoes that carry Plasmodium parasites, the most deadly of which is P. falciparum. In malaria research, mouse malaria parasites are frequently used because, like human parasites, they have a "liver phase," in which the parasite first multiplies in the liver and then breaks out into the blood stream to cause disease. "We knew the malaria parasite goes to the liver, infects liver cells and replicates within them, but we didn't know how it forces the liver cell into submission on a molecular level," says Alexis Kaushansky, lead author and postdoctoral scientist at Seattle BioMed, describing this key stage to the parasite's infectious abilities as a black box. Kaushansky's … Continue reading →

Last week the Supreme Court began hearing arguments in two cases about gay marriage. While that drew a lot of attention, whatever the justices decide wont have much direct effect on you unless youre gay, or have a strong opinion on the subject. Thats not true of another big case, this one about generic drugs. As NPR reports, the court also has to decide whether or not brand-name drug makers can continue their pay to delay schemes. Over the past decade its become more common for brand-name companies to give their generic competition millions of dollars to stay off the market. As weve written before, the FDA already grants years of exclusivity to new drugs, which get heavily promoted and entrenched before cheaper copies can enter the market. But even after they can debut, big brands extend their monopoly through legal settlements with the generic brands. Brand-name drug maker Solvay tweaked the formula for a prescription testosterone gel (AndroGel) whose patent had expired long ago; they figured they could make it just different enough to get a new patent and block competition. Generic competitors challenged it, and one of them was prepared to launch a product that cost one-sixth of … Continue reading →
