SwRI creating chemical, biological threat mitigation decision support tool for U.S. military

Southwest Research Institute has formed an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, chemists and biologists to develop software to help the United States Department of Defense (DOD) identify and respond to chemical and biological threats.

Through a contract with the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC), SwRI will develop a Risk Evaluation & Medical Decision Efficacy (REMEDY) tool to help make agile medical decisions, about countermeasures and other actions to address a danger or threat.

The Cyclic Amp/Phosphodiesterase4 Axis Regulates Proximal B Cell Receptor Signaling and Offers a New Therapeutic Strategy for B

Aberrant activation of the B cell receptor (BCR) is an emerging hallmark of mature B cell tumors. The BCR initiates a signaling cascade that activates multiple kinases, including SYK, BTK and PI3K?, leading to engagement of the NF-?B, PI3K/AKT, RAS and MAPK pathways, thus promoting proliferation/survival of B cells. Considering this pro-growth outcome, it is not surprising that malignant B cells hijack this signaling module for their benefit.
