Tag: drugsWhy does Genentech's anticancer drug work better for some patients than for others? Treatments are being tested for three inherited forms. Hard Road for Medical Treatments Promising studies are often refuted later. Some people feel no empathy. An experimental drug makes them take a hard look in the mirror. A gene-screening method can predict an individual's response to cancer drugs. Targeted Delivery for Nanoparticles Microcontainers could improve cancer treatment by carrying nanoparticles directly to tumors. Researchers have grown stem cells in tiny, protective sacs. Electrical pulses control the release of drugs from a biodegradable thin film. A New Treatment for Alzheimer's? Neurologists urge caution upon reports of a successful therapy. Researchers have made a biochip that could help replace animal testing for new cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Calculating Drugs' Side Effects A new computational technique could predict the toxicity of drug candidates. Researchers are using human embryonic stem cells to determine the toxicity of potential pharmaceuticals. An MIT spinoff is finally ready to begin testing smart implants for drug delivery and sensing. New models of the human liver will help uncover toxicity problems before drugs reach the clinic. Drugs much more powerful than the resveratrol found in red wine will be tested to treat diabetes. |
