Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, and University College London (UCL) declared the start of a unique study, combining state-of-the-art brain imaging with key biomarkers, aimed at building a better understanding of the role of inflammation in neurodegenerative disease and potentially a new approach in its early diagnosis and treatment.

The Pilot Longitudinal Study in Alzheimer’s Disease of Central Markers of Microglial Activation (PADMMA) study is a two-year study in 20 patients that will assess, using PET imaging, the prevalence and pattern of activation of a specific type of cell, called microglia, in the central nervous system (CNS) in people with certain symptoms of neurodegenerative disease. It is key demonstration of Tevas commitment towards dementia research made following the UK Government’s Dementia Summit, spearheaded by UK Prime Minister David Cameron.

The role of inflammation is key in the field of neurodegeneration. It is implicated in the neuronal dysfunction that is the result of some of the most devastating neurodegenerative diseases. Microglia play a central role in neuro-inflammation, and defining reliable biomarkers of microglial activation, and their changes over time, will provide us with crucial information for developing treatment trials with neuro-inflammation as a novel therapeutic target.

Cliffs Natural Resources, declared recently that it is temporarily idling iron ore pellet production at its Northshore Mining operation in Minnesota by Dec. 1, 2015. The Company stated that until its domestic customers blast furnace capacity utilization rates improve, existing customer demand will be satisfied from its current pellet inventory.

Lourenco Goncalves, Cliffs Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, The historic high tonnage of foreign steel dumped into the U.S. continues to negatively impact the steel production levels of our domestic customers. As our pellet inventory at both Northshore and United Taconite is adequate to meet current customer demand, we will be able to optimize our working capital and cash flow by temporarily idling production at Northshore. Mr. Goncalves added, Our pellet inventory is presently at a seasonally, historic high level. As a result, we are taking this action to work off our pellet inventory pending receipt of our customers tonnage requirements for 2016 which have not been finalized. The resolution of the trade cases presently filed by the domestic steelmakers against several countries and covering a broad range of steel products should bring a positive impact to the domestic market sometime during the first half of 2016. As soon as the unfairly traded steel problem subsides and domestic steel production recovers to normal levels, we will be able to right away ramp up iron ore pellet production by bringing idled capacity back to operation.

Cliffs anticipates that both Northshore and United Taconite operations will be temporarily idled through the first quarter of 2016. During that time frame, Cliffs will continue to operate Hibbing Taconite in Minnesota, in addition to the Tilden and Empire mines in Michigan, at normal rates. The Company will assess and adjust its production plans as market conditions improve.

Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., a mining and natural resources company, produces iron ore and metallurgical coal. It operates five iron ore mines that produces iron ore pellets in Michigan and Minnesota; Koolyanobbing complex situated in northeast of the town of Southern Cross, which produces lump and fines iron ore; and two metallurgical coal mines located in Alabama and West Virginia.
