Noble also was a co-author of a second study testing the efficacy and safety of the multi-kinase inhibitor nintedanib on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients.
In our research we found that nintedanib could also slow the loss of lung function in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis said Noble.

against muscle atrophy. Muscle atrophy or wasting is caused by aging and a variety of illnesses and injuries including cancer heart failure
and orthopedic injuries to name a few. It makes people weak and fatigued impairs physical activity
and quality of life and predisposes people to falls and fractures. The condition affects more than 50 million Americans annually including 30 million people over age 60 and often forces people into nursing homes or rehabilitation facilities.
More muscle less fatin a new study published online April 9 in the Journal of Biological Chemistry Adams searched for a small molecule compound that might be used to treat muscle atrophy.
when people are affected by muscle atrophy. After identifying tomatidine Adams and his team tested its effects on skeletal muscle.
And most importantly they found that tomatidine prevented and treated muscle atrophy. Interestingly although mice fed tomatidine had larger muscles their overall body weight did not change due to a corresponding loss of fat suggesting that the compound may also have potential for treating obesity.

Diarrheal illness is a leading cause of global mortality and morbidity said Richards-Kortum director of the Rice 360ë:
A rapid affordable accurate point-of-care test could greatly enhance care for the underserved populations who are affected most by parasites that cause diarrheal illness.
In the most recent global burden-of-disease study diarrheal disease accounts for the loss of more disability-adjusted life years than any other infectious disease
