Obesity - Table of Contents alert Volume 20 Issue 4

TABLE OF CONTENTS Volume 20, Issue 4 (April 2012) In this issue In This Issue Reviews Articles Short Communications Brief Reports Also new AOP Novo Nordisk R&D has launched a research award program to support and established scientists in their exploration of novel hypotheses in the area of diabetes and obesity research. The Awards facilitate translation of new ideas into innovation by bringing new biologics concepts to a pre-clinical Proof of Principle milestone. Such biologics either have to be novel or represent novel effects of a known entity. Biologics therapeutics include large peptide or protein ligands (e.g. hormones), inhibitory or modulating antibodies, immunotherapies, small interfereing RNA (siRNA), and cell based concepts (e.g. stem cells). The program is open to scientists and academic and medical research institutions located in the US and Canada only. www.novonordisk-us.com/innovation Sign up for e-alerts Recommend to your library Web feed Subscribe Advertisement Hypertension Research Trying to stay abreast of hypertension and cardiovascular related research?
