Around the world, all look for opportunities to improve the economy by investing in eco-industry as well as biotechnology. Within biotechnology, drug discovery and therapeutics remain the mainstays of biomedical research. Drug discovery bridges the gap between pre-clinical research and clinical therapeutics to benefit human health. The three main tenets of drug discovery and therapeutics, molecular diagnostics, targeted therapy, and personalized medicine, will be our focuses as well in Drug Discoveries & Therapeutics in the present and near future. To do so, Drug Discoveries & Therapeutics must welcome new topics that align themselves with traditional areas of research in drug development and therapeutics. We must continue to emphasize topics on biomarker-guided therapies in proteomics, metabolomics, genomics, and genetics as well as up-and-coming areas of research such as autophagy, exosomes, and RNA spliceosomes. Research on small molecules, peptides, monoclonal antibodies, nano-particles, will and should be covered by this journal's scope alongside pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug delivery systems. The journal will continue to invite outstanding review articles, original research papers, and frontier discoveries, while simultaneously attracting a greater readership. Our immediate goal is to become a leading authority in the biomedical research field of drug discovery and therapeutics. Allongside editorial colleagues, I will continue to bring high quality, efficient publications to our readership.

ABSTRACT: The approval of receptor tyrosine targeted therapies has opened new prospects in treatment kinase (RTK) targeted agent sorafenib as the first of HCC. Systemic treatment with sorafenib, a multikinase effective drug for the systemic treatment of advanced inhibitor targeting Raf kinase and receptor tyrosine hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a kinases (RTKs) including platelet-derived growth factor milestone in the treatment of this disease. A better receptor (PDGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor understanding of HCC pathogenesis will lead to (VEGF) receptor (VEGFR) and c-kit (receptor specific development of

Wimal Jayantha (Sri Lanka) – Chairman, and Ms Roxana Rotocol (Romania) – Vice-Chairman. The Committee examined the credentials delivered to the Director-General in accordance with Rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure of the World Health Assembly. It noted that the Secretariat had found these credentials to be in conformity with the Rules of Procedure. The credentials of the delegates of the Member States shown at the end of this report were found to be in conformity with the Rules of Procedure as constituting formal credentials; the Committee therefore proposes that the World Health Assembly should recognize their validity. The Committee examined notifications from the Member State listed below, which, while indicating the names of the delegates concerned, could not be considered as constituting formal credentials in accordance with the provisions of the Rules of Procedure.

    Molecular Interactions Between Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Cells And The Bone Marrow Microenvironment Ana Markovic A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Children’s Cancer Institute Australia for Medical Research School of Women’s and Children’s Health THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES 2009 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: MARKOVIC First name: ANA Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Women’s & Children’s Health Faculty: MEDICINE Title: Molecular Interactions Between Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Cells And The Bone Marrow Microenvironment. Abstract 350 words maximum Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common cause of death from disease in children. Whilst cure rates over the last 30 years have drastically improved, children that do go on and relapse have a very poor prognosis. Additionally, the ones that do survive can have significant long term side effects from existing treatments. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of the relationship between leukaemia and its microenvironment is essential for the identification of novel targets for treatment and/or the manipulation of existing treatments. Our previous work has established a panel of childhood ALL xenografts from patient biopsies in NOD/SCID mice. Several samples secrete vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), an integral component of neovascularisation and normal haematopoiesis, and express FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT-3), a receptor tyrosine kinase, which plays an essential role in regulating normal haematopoiesis. This thesis builds on previous work by examining the relationship between VEGF and FLT-3, two widely, yet independently studied molecules in leukaemia, with the aberrant expression of either having adverse outcomes for patients.
