Thank you. It filled in various things that I'd wondered about - not least the origin of the increasing number of drugs with ....mab at the end. Some of the links from the article were also worth following up. It looks like a good site, so I've bookmarked it.

Yes it does seem to be a good website, although I've only just started following it. You can register and get a daily email summarising articles on all sorts of topics. Obviously, as with anything on the internet, you still need to be a bit cautious about the content. But it certainly turns up some interesting stuff :)
