from either grass or tree pollens, insect venoms, cat dander as well as house dust mites [2–13] ( fig. 1 ). Such fusion proteins can then be expressed in Escherichia coli , yeasts (e.g. Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Pichia pastoris ) and plant or mammalian host cell systems prior to purification and refolding. One advantage, obviously, is to produce the multiallergen drug substance as a single mo...

Many people enjoy music daily, but in a very passive way. To more actively enjoy music, some novel musical instruments are necessary. As a candidate for a novel musical instrument, we propose a networked wearable musical instrument. This paper describes the design of the networked musical instrument as well as a prototype system. Furthermore, we demonstrate several possible novel applications o...

Climate models and satellite observations both indicate that the total amount of water in the atmosphere will increase at a rate of 7% per kelvin of surface warming. However, the climate models predict that global precipitation will increase at a much slower rate of 1 to 3% per kelvin. A recent analysis of satellite observations does not support this prediction of a muted response of precipitat...

Parliamentary elections in Egypt this month look set to change the political landscape. Former member of parliament and equity campaigner Hoda Rashad tells Fiona Fleck why the country's public health programmes need to take a social justice approach.

Fungi are major pathogens of plants, other fungi, rotifers, insects, and amphibians, but relatively few cause disease in mammals. Fungi became important human pathogens only in the late 20th century, primarily in hosts with impaired immunity as a consequence of medical interventions or HIV infection. The relatively high resistance of mammals has been attributed to a combination of a complex imm...

Being a recent new mum I can see this argument from both perspectives,1 and I think it’s unfair to blame organisations such as the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) for new mother neurosis. I was fortunate that I could attend my antenatal classes at my local GP practice, however, I did feel that all of the emphasis was placed on the ‘birthplan’ (which rarely happens) and how ‘easy’ breastfeeding ...
