Embryology Study Offers Clues To Birth Defects
Gregg Duester, Ph.D., professor of developmental biology at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham), along with Xianling Zhao, Ph.D., and colleagues, have clarified the role that retinoic acid plays in limb development. The study showed that retinoic acid controls the development (or budding) of forelimbs, but not hindlimbs, and that retinoic acid is not responsible for patterning (or differentiation of the parts) of limbs. This research corrects longstanding misconceptions about limb development and provides new insights into congenital limb defects. The study was published online in the journal Current Biology on May 21. Drugshop to buy zoloft online and other pills.

Insurers Join Public Debate With New Ad Campaign
The insurance industry so far has "stayed at the bargaining table and held its fire in the ad wars," but "now, the industry is speaking up, not with an attack but with a seven-figure, national cable TV ad buy starting Monday in favor of affordable bipartisan health reform that can cover everyone," Politico reports. "But make no mistake: The ads are sending a strong don"t-tread-on-us message, not so much a shot across the bow of reform as a reminder of the industry"s ability to weigh in at any time, with messages pro or con." The 30-second ads from America"s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) "pushes for bipartisan reform that includes affordable, universal coverage that doesn"t deny insurance to those with pre-existing health conditions," but doesn"t attack the idea of a government-run insurance plan - a proposal the industry vehemently opposes." The ad "will be supported by a complementary print campaign that is also set to launch this week."

New House Bill Would Secure Health Care Affordability For America's Families

Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Committee Chairmen Henry Waxman, Charlie Rangel, and George Miller introduced their unified health care reform bill. The following is the statement of Ron Pollack, Executive Director of Families USA, about this development: "The House health care reform bill provides the right prescription for America"s ailing health care system. It offers an effective set of remedies to ensure that virtually all Americans have access to high-quality, affordable health coverage and care. "The bill effectively delivers the changes that families need: - improved affordability, so that no one is priced out of coverage and care; - choice of health plans, including one"s current plan, as well private plans and a robust public plan option; - stability, so that coverage can"t be lost or taken away; and - accountability by insurance companies, so that they don"t continue to deny or charge enormous premiums to people with pre-existing health conditions. "This bill deserves to be enacted promptly, especially because more than 6,000 people are losing health coverage every single day. "Families USA endorses the newly introduced House health care reform bill, and we will work tirelessly to see that it is enacted into law this year." Families USA
