TARO REJECTED SUN OFFER
Taro Pharmaceuticals rejected Sun Pharma proposals to buy remaining stake in Taro Pharmceuticals. Sun Pharma owns 36% stake in Taro, on last week proposed to increase the offer price by 23% to $9.5 each as first opinion for all shareholders. Sun offered $9 each for non promoter sharholders and $8.25 each for promoter shareholders. The Israeli company's board has stated that it did not view the two options set forth in Sun's proposal as constructive or even 'in the ballpark.' Both Sun's merger proposal which signed in 2007 and its tender offer involved that represted a reduction from $10.25 that Sun paid for Brandes' 8% minority interest in Taro, the board rejected these two options.

Publisher:Greenwood Press
ISBN:0313337608
Pages: 216
Description:
Every day, newspapers and television news programs present stories on the latest controversies over healthcare and medical advances, but they do not have the space to provide detailed background on the issues. Websites and weblogs provide information from activists and partisans intent on presenting their side of a story. But where can students - or even ordinary citizens - go to obtain unbiased, detailed background on the medical issues affecting their daily lives? This volume in the Health and Medical Issues Today series provides readers and researchers a balanced, in-depth introduction to the medical, scientific, legal, and cultural issues surrounding gene therapy and its import in today's world of healthcare. Gene Therapy is organized to provide researchers with easy access to the information they need: BLSection 1 provides overview chapters on the background information needed to intelligently understand the issues and controversies surrounding gene therapy, such as the history of theories of the gene and recent developments in clinical trials BLSection 2 offers capsule examinations of the contemporary issues and debates that provoke the most heated disagreements and misunderstandings, such as whether or not humans should "tinker" with genetic material and who pays for genetic therapies. BLSection 3 includes reference material on stem cells, including primary source documents from important players in the struggle over gene therapy, a timeline of important events, and an annotated bibliography of useful print and electronic resources. This volume in the Health and Medical Issues Today series provides everything a student requires to understand the issues involved in gene therapy and provides a springboard for further research into the issue.

Gene Therapy Protocols Volume 2
Gene Therapy Protocols Volume 2
Pages: 314, 2008-04-24
ISBN: 160327247X, 6 MB
In Gene Therapy Protocols, Volumes 1 & 2, internationally recognized investigators describe cutting-edge laboratory techniques for the study of Production and In Vivo Applications of Gene Transfer Vectors (Volume 1) and Design and Characterization of Gene Transfer Vectors (Volume 2). The field of gene therapy has undergone remarkable advances, promising to impact human healthcare significantly in the twenty-first century. Today’s technologies can deliver genetic material safely and effectively to cells to slow or halt the progression of disease, and to help repair or regenerate damaged or lost tissues. In this second volume of Gene Therapy Protocols: Design and Characterization of Gene Transfer Vectors, readers will find a comprehensive resource of current and emerging methods for the processing and characterization of viral and non-viral gene transfer vectors, as well as promising approaches to design vectors for efficient, targeted and regulated gene delivery and expression. This second volume of the new and completely revised third edition of Gene Therapy Protocols will prove a necessary tool for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and invaluable to basic and clinical researchers in both industry and academia.
