FreightCenter.com Continues Corporate Expansion in 2012

FreightCenter.com continues expansion of its corporate offices, estimating 20 new job openings in the Tampa Bay area by spring 2012.

2012-02-27

TRINITY, FL February 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) FreightCenter.com continues expansion of its corporate offices after closing out yet another year marked by climbing revenues and software development. The freight technology company is looking to add 20 new positions by the end of the first quarter.

A sharp rise in the number of managed accounts has yielded the expansion of several divisions during the first quarter of 2012. This growth influences the immediate need for new hires, internal restructuring and eventually additional office space.

"We are on track for another successful year and are proactively enforcing a strategy that will support our 2012 growth predictions," said FreightCenter.com CEO Matthew Brosious.

The company has restructured its freight and logistics divisions to accommodate a growing customer base. A strategy to reinforce its best-in-class customer support, the objective of the reorganization is to provide a fail-safe system of handling less-than-truckload (LTL) and full truckload transportation.

The expansion will also affect the company's development team, marketing department and logistics division. Up to six positions will be added to handle the development and marketing of new and current Web applications, proprietary freight software and emerging freight technologies.

The company plans to add additional office space at its headquarters in Florida. Since its last expansion in 2009, FreightCenter.com has maintained two buildings that share a single campus. No plans have been made to relocate, but negotiations are in progress to renovate existing office space.

Novel bioactive peptides promote wound healing in vivo

2012-02-27

BOSTON (February 23, 2012, 5:00 pm ET) — Researchers have combined bioactive peptides to successfully stimulate wound healing. The in vitro and in vivo study, published today in PLoS ONE, demonstrates that the combination of two peptides stimulates the growth of blood vessels and promotes re-growth of tissue. Further development of these peptides could lead to a new treatment for chronic and acute wounds. The team tested a newly-created peptide, UN3, in pre-clinical models aimed to simulate impaired wound healing as is seen in patients with peripheral vascular diseases ...

New theory shows that neither birth nor death stops a flock

2012-02-27

EUGENE, Ore. -- (Feb. 24, 2011) -- Neither births nor deaths stop the flocking of organisms. They just keep moving, says theoretical physicist John J. Toner of the University of Oregon. The notion, he says, has implications in biology and eventually could point to new cancer therapies. Picture any scenario in which self-propelled organisms -- animals, birds, bacteria, molecules within cells, cancer cells, fish, and even tiny plastic rods on a vibrating table -- move as a swarm or flock in the same direction. Eighteen years ago, Toner co-developed two equations that together ...

Could rosemary scent boost brain performance?

2012-02-27

Hailed since ancient times for its medicinal properties, we still have a lot to learn about the effects of rosemary. Now researchers writing in Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology, published by SAGE, have shown for the first time that blood levels of a rosemary oil component correlate with improved cognitive performance. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is one of many traditional medicinal plants that yield essential oils. But exactly how such plants affect human behaviour is still unclear.

Combined inhibition of VEGF and c-MET can decrease metastasis

2012-02-27

Inhibition of VEGF increased c-MET expression in tumors. Invasion and metastasis were blocked by inhibition of VEGF plus c-MET. Dual VEGF/c-MET inhibitors are in late-stage clinical trials. PHILADELPHIA — Dual inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor and c-MET signaling inhibited tumor invasion and metastasis in a laboratory model of pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer, according to a paper published in Cancer Discovery, the newest journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. "Inhibition of VEGF signaling plus c-MET signaling results in a synergistic ...

Cancer therapy more potent when it hits 2 targets

2012-02-27

Simultaneous targeting of two different molecules in cancer is an effective way to shrink tumors, block invasion, and stop metastasis, scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have found—work that may improve the effectiveness of combination treatments that include drugs like Avastin. The two-target approach, tested in mice with a type of cancer known as neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors, may have broad application for treating a wide variety of cancers, the UCSF team said. The drugs used in the tests belong to classes of pharmaceuticals that are ...
