Analysis of breast and colon cancer genes finds many areas of differences between tumors
Researchers from University Hospitals (UH) Ireland Cancer Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine are part of a new national study that has analyzed more than 18,000 genes, including 5,000 previously unmapped genes, from breast and colorectal tumors.   view more (2007-10-12)

Cancer conflict with chemotherapy treatment
Women under the age of forty with breast cancer who are given drugs in addition to lumpectomies or radiotherapy, known as adjuvant chemotherapy, may not be benefiting from these drugs.   view more (2007-10-11)

The 'arms' race: Adult steroid users seek muscles, not medals
The majority of non-medical anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) users are not cheating athletes or risk-taking teenagers.   view more (2007-10-11)

Anti-depressant drugs can double risk of gastrointestinal bleeding
New research shows that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a group of drugs commonly used to treat depression, may double the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.   view more (2007-10-09)

Antidepressants and painkillers - a dangerous combination
Taking antidepressants together with painkillers can substantially increase the risk of bleeding from the stomach, according to new research by the University of East Anglia.   view more (2007-10-09)

Developing a modular, nanoparticle drug delivery system
There are two aspects to creating an effective drug: finding a chemical compound that has the desired biological effect and minimal side-effects and then delivering it to the right place in the body for it to do its job.   view more (2007-10-08)

Studying component parts of living cells with carbon nanotube cellular probes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown great potential for use as cellular probes. As "nanopipes" they can be used to transport liquids to or from cells and inject solutions or drugs directly into individual cells and individual organelles within the cells.   view more (2007-10-05)

Cell skeleton may hold key to overcoming drug resistance in cancer
Researchers have uncovered a new way in which a cell protein protects cancer cells from a wide range of chemotherapeutic drugs, identifying a possible target for improving treatment outcomes for patients.   view more (2007-10-04)

Mayo Clinic study finds FDA warning against antinausea drug droperidol unnecessary
A Mayo Clinic review of patients' responses to a drug used to control nausea and vomiting during anesthesia for general surgery questions a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warning against the drug's use. This study appears in the current issue of the journal Anesthesiology.   view more (2007-10-01)

Possible safer target for anti-clotting drugs found
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have identified a new molecular target in blood clot formation, which seems to reduce clotting without excessive bleeding, the common side-effect of anti-clotting agents.   view more (2007-09-27)

Gene chip data improved therapy in some patients with incurable cancer
Like many oncologists, Eric P. Lester, M.D., was faced with a dilemma: seven patients with advanced, incurable cancer, an arsenal of drugs that may or may not help them, and not enough solid proof about treatment efficacy to guide him.   view more (2007-09-20)

Understanding the Noxious cause of Lou Gehrig's disease
There is no known cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often known as Lou Gehrig disease and motor neuron disease.   view more (2007-09-14)

Potential new way of treating inflammatory diseases identified
Scientists have shown for the first time that platelets, the cells needed for blood clotting, help white blood cells called neutrophils fight inflammation.   view more (2007-09-14)

Progress in understanding the malarial parasite
About 2 million people die of malaria every year, of which more than a million are children in sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite belonging to the genus Plasmodium, and Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most severe form of malaria.   view more (2007-09-14)

Taxol bristle ball: a wrench in the works for cancer
Rice University chemists have discovered a way to load dozens of molecules of the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel onto tiny gold spheres. The result is a tiny ball, many times smaller than a living cell that literally bristles with the drug.   view more (2007-09-13)

Adverse drug events reported to FDA appear to have increased markedly
The number of serious adverse drug events reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) more than doubled between 1998 and 2005, as did deaths associated with adverse drug events.   view more (2007-09-11)

2 drugs equally effective for heart patients undergoing angioplasty, Mayo study finds
In lifesaving procedures to open blocked heart arteries a key question has persisted for years: Is use of the more expensive drug, abciximab, justified over use of the less-expensive eptifibatide"   view more (2007-09-11)

Using evolution, UW team creates a template for many new therapeutic agents
By guiding an enzyme down a new evolutionary pathway, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers has created a new form of an enzyme capable of producing a range of potential new therapeutic agents with anticancer and antibiotic properties.   view more (2007-09-10)

New insight into how antibiotics kill might make them deadlier
Scientists have what could be some very bad news for disease-causing bacteria. All three major classes of antibiotics that kill infectious bacteria do so in part by ramping up the production of harmful free radicals.   view more (2007-09-07)

Boston University biomedical engineers find chink in bacteria's armor
Biomedical researchers at Boston University's College of Engineering may have discovered the path toward developing better drugs capable of defeating so-called "superbugs," bacteria that have developed resistance to common antibiotics.   view more (2007-09-07)

Heeding the WARNing from malaria's past
A global network to monitor drug resistance and guide malaria treatment and prevention policies is being launched.   view more (2007-09-06)

New Study Examines Brain-Gut Relationship in those Suffering with Stomach Pain or Discomfort (Functional Dyspepsia)
A new clinical study will explore the brain-gut interaction in patients with functional dyspepsia and whether certain drugs can effectively relieve symptoms of this disorder.   view more (2007-09-06)

Report on patients' access to cancer drugs 'uses flawed methods to reached flawed conclusions'
A leading epidemiologist has attacked Swedish research that looked at inequalities in patients' access to cancer drugs across Europe and the world.   view more (2007-08-30)

New study may explain Vioxx side effects
