Promoting use of pharmaco-economic models by formulary reviewers is a goal of the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) Format for Formulary Submissions, but relatively few decision makers use such models, and many doubt that they provide meaningful input.

    We report analyses of two 3.56-Gy-old mare basalts demonstrating that they were magnetized in a stable and surprisingly intense dynamo magnetic field of at least ∼13 μT. These data extend the known lifetime of the lunar dynamo by ∼160 My and indicate that the field was likely continuously activ...

    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A (2013) PMID 23650384

    We report a method for expression of recombinant full-length human C1q involving stable transfection of HEK 293-F mammalian cells and fusion of an affinity tag to the C-terminal end of the C chain. The resulting recombinant (r) C1q molecule is similar to serum C1q as judged from biochemical and stru...
