A new way to fight bacterial infections

“Our job”, says Jan Kemper, “is to make cells happy.” Ms Kemper works at MedImmune, a subsidiary of AstraZeneca based in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Her laboratory contains 40 bioreactors—fluid-filled tanks of about three litres’ capacity. Paddles within them whirl around a mixture of nutrient broth and specially engineered hamster cells that are busy making human antibodies.

It is, indeed, cell heaven in one of these reactors. It is also part of a new front in the ancient war between man and microbe, for the antibodies Ms Kemper’s cells produce are designed to attack bacteria, and thus back up conventional antibiotics, some of which are failing in the face of rising bacterial resistance.  Nov.22 http://econ.st/1zDqnvz

The cardinal ingresses of the Sun have a traditional reputation as  important mundane events.  Among these the Capricorn ingress (Capsolar). is the “master chart” of the year Shown here is the sidereal Capricorn Ingress chart drawn for Gaithersburg, Maryland. Notice the powerful Grand Cross involving Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto on the angles. This combination is known for producing scientific and technological breakthroughs. The TNP Admetus [27ta] and the asteroid Aesculapia [24ta]  are  anchored  through hard aspects to the Ascendant and  Uranus-Pluto in the Grand Cross.  

Admetus-Aesculapia : A resistant disease.

Pluto-Uranus: Technological or scientific breakthrough.

Progressing the chart to Nov. 22, the date of the news, aligns the MC [24ta] with Aesculapia [24ta] and Admetus [27ta]. Meanwhile Saturn [21sc] aligns with the IC and Neptune [3pi] with the descendant.

Here Saturn is conjunct Unukalhai, alpha Serpentis. Serpens, the great Serpent held by Ophiuchus/ Aesculapius is a symbol of healing and regeneration, because Serpents shed their skins and grow new ones; the Staff of Aesculapius, a rod entwined by a snake, still to this day symbolizes the medical profession. Meanwhile, Neptune is conjunct stars in ancient constellation of the healing goddess Gula.  

Therefore, the star patterns on Nov.22 appear to correlate well with a possible medical breakthrough in connection with the treatment of  resistant diseases.
