An FDA advisory committee agreed that cadaveric allogeneic pancreatic islet cells (donislecel) for treating brittle type 1 diabetes is worth the risks for certain patients.
In a 12-4 vote Thursday with one abstention, members of the Cellular, Tissue, and Gene Therapies Advisory Committee felt that, although this procedure will likely benefit only a select few patients, the benefits of possible insulin independence for them outweigh the risks that come with long-term immunosuppressive treatment.
The therapy s sponsor, CellTrans, explained that existing options are limited for the some 80,000 American adults estimated to have brittle type 1 diabetes a subset of type 1 characterized by a particularly refractory form of complete insulin deficiency where patients often have vast swings in blood glucose levels.

Post Sale Update: This RMX sold for $3,220 after 31 bids on eBay in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Sold between 1989-1998, the RMX250 was Suzuki’s enduro sibling to the RM250 motocrosser. Randy Hawkins had tremendous success with it in competition, winning five National Enduro titles with it before other manufacturers eventually caught up.
This example (VIN: JS1PJ11A1V2100171) was purchased new by the seller’s brother as a Christmas gift for the seller in 2002, having been in a crate for five years. “It has barely been ridden” and the seller fires it up every month. Upgrades include Boyesen reeds and a FMF Gnarly exhaust.

In the midst of a primarily metalworking shop at the CAF Dixie Wing, a wooden work of art is taking shape in the form of a PT-19 wing. The restoration project is being conducted by the Georgia based Wing in support of another Commemorative Air Force unit, the CAF Heart of America Wing. This wooden craftsmanship is the work of a crew headed by CAF volunteer Paul Brunks. He relies on the assistance of crew members Forest Buchanan, Lee Walker and John Basch to fabricate the wing parts and surfaces. Earlier in the project, as many as 10 mechanics were involved.
