Major discovery raises prospect of better patient care by improving platelet life span
The research team led by Drs Benjamin Kile and David Huang has discovered that platelet life span is controlled by two key molecules. The discovery raises the prospect of developing a new drug to prolong the life span of platelets stored in blood banks, effectively increasing the availability of this life-saving blood product. view more (2007-03-23)
Concern that research sponsored by drug companies is biased
Research funded by drug companies is more likely to produce results that favour the sponsor’s product than research funded by other sources, claim researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-05-28)
