Why Outsourcing is Key to the Future of Drug Development
COVID-19 showed us the importance of improving the speed to market of new drugs such as vaccines. And with more challenges facing the industry than ever before, fast and reliable drug development has never been more vital.
Deep Molecular Profiling to understand the biology of Alzheimer disease
Alzheimer disease (AD) is a complex, polygenic disease with genetic, cellular, pathologic, and clinical heterogeneity. Advances in high-throughput sequencing and omics technologies have accelerated the drive toward personalized medicine. Human bio-specimens using these high-throughput platforms have emerged
Social-economic factors predict state differences in opioid overdose rates
Media accounts of the opioid overdose epidemic emphasize the role of prescription drugs and, to a lesser extent, declining economic and social conditions. In support of the journalists’ accounts, opioid prescriptions, as measured in grams of morphine
Eavesdropping on cell communications to treat cancer with drug resistance
估计有1930万新癌症病例nd almost 10 million cancer deaths occurred worldwide in 2020. It’s estimated that one in three individuals will be diagnosed with some kind of cancer in their lifetime. When cancer
Perspectives for anti-tuberculosis therapy with additional drug activities to counteract drug resistance
Generally, antibiotic therapies use single antibiotics to combat sensitive bacteria. The standard of antituberculosis therapy includes four antibacterial agents that all have different modes of activities in the initial phase of a tuberculosis infection with mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Cryo-electron microscopy in drug development
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is becoming the method of choice in structure determination of membrane proteins and has great potential for structure-based drug discovery (SBDD). Cryo-EM provides high-resolution structural information of a membrane protein without the need for
Nickel free, built-in nanotubular drug eluting stents
Coronary Artery Disease is a common cause of heart failure. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is caused by the accumulation of lipids and fats within an injured arteries’ walls and restricts the blood flow to the heart muscle
Adverse Drug Reactions: power, harm reduction, regulation and the ADRe profile
Patients should be checked systematically to ensure that they are not being harmed by their medication. Through case studies of prescriptions of antipsychotics to older adults in the UK, we have shown that if healthcare professionals systematically
Novel drug treatment for human infection with H7N9- avian influenza A
The H7N9 subtype of avian influenza is an enzootic and airborne virus which caused an influenza outbreak in China. Infected individuals mostly worked with poultry, suggesting H7N9 virus-infected poultry as the primary source of human infection. Significantly
Tumor regression in a high-mortality mouse pancreatic cancer (xenograft) model with aminosteroid RM-581
Pancreatic cancer is classified as a high-mortality cancer with a five-year relative survival rate of only 9%. Although most cancer type survival rates have improved over the past decades, pancreatic cancer morbidity has been stable, which illustrates
Production techniques for the development of sub-micron size polymeric drug delivery formulations evaluated
Polymeric drug delivery formulations containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) offer the advantages of improved stability, targeted delivery and controlled release of APIs in vivo, which can reduce drug burden while enhancing efficacy. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is amongst
Suicide and drug overdose mortality in Australian young males as a socioeconomic malady
当死亡率趋势在澳大利亚年轻人(20–34 year) males are analysed over 1979–2011, some interesting features emerge. First, a decline in motor vehicle accident mortality by half between 1980 and 1998 did not translate into reduced
Should we think that neem gum polysaccharide and their semi-synthetic derivatives can be utilized as carrier for nanoformulation
One of the major concerns related to the newly synthesized drug is poor water solubility, which seems to be a major concern for the pharmaceutical manufacturer and also a rate limiting step in the bioavailability. In this
How we can curb deaths from heroin use
Evidence from many countries shows an alarmingly high death rate amongst former prisoners with histories of heroin addiction in the two weeks following their prison release. A heroin overdose is the most common cause of death in
