Advances in nebulised drug delivery
AROUND £50 million of National Health Service money a year is spent nebulising drug aerosols to patients with asthma, cystic fibrosis and infections. Drug delivery by this route currently escapes attention from the regulatory authorities because the drug is sold separately from the delivery device and clinical practice is based largely on... view more...

Nanoparticles carry chemotherapy drug deeper into solid tumors
A new drug delivery method using nano-sized molecules to carry the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin to tumors improves the effectiveness of the drug in mice and increases their survival time. view more (2007-06-27)
OptiNose presents data on highly effective migraine treatment
OptiNose announced today that it presented important new data demonstrating the superior performance of its novel nasal drug delivery device with sumatriptan for the treatment of migraines. view more (2008-06-30)
Caesareans have drawbacks for future pregnancies
Women who give birth to their first child by caesarean section are far less likely to have a subsequent vaginal delivery than if they have an instrumental delivery, according to new research. Researchers surveyed 283 women three years after they underwent instrumental vaginal... view more... (2004-01-14)
Optimized inhaler mouthpiece design allows for more effective drug delivery
Researchers have developed an optimized mouthpiece design to aid efficient drug delivery to the lungs by reducing the amount of medication wasted as it passes through the mouthpiece of an aerosol inhaler. view more (2009-10-22)
New Oxford Spin-out to Improve on Drug Delivery
Oxford University's latest spin-out company is the drug delivery and glycoprotein specialist Glycoform Ltd, which uses expertise in identifying novel carbohydrate - cell surface receptor- binding properties to develop unique drug targeting systems. The company is developing a novel technology known as LEAPT (Lectin Enzyme Activated Pro-drug... view more... (2002-12-23)
Stealth particles to target tumors
Stealth nano particles may some day target tumor cells and deliver medication to specific body locations, according to Penn State chemical engineers. view more (2005-09-01)
Self-assembling nano-fiber gel delivers high concentrations of clinically approved drugs
Two teams of scientists from Harvard-MIT Division of Health Science and Technology (HST) at Brigham and Women's Hospital have developed a new self-assembling hydrogel drug delivery system that is biocompatible, efficient at drug release, and easy to tailor. view more (2008-10-22)
Women feel unprepared for operative deliveries
Antenatal classes do not adequately prepare women for operative deliveries (caesarean sections, use of ventouse or forceps), according to study in this week's BMJ. Researchers interviewed 27 women who had undergone operative delivery in the second stage of labour at two UK hospitals between 2000 and 2002. Many women felt unprepared for operative... view more...

Tiny capsules deliver
A tiny particle syringe composed of polymer layers and nanoparticles may provide drug delivery that targets diseased cells without harming the rest of the body, according to a team of chemical engineers. This delivery system could be robust and flexible enough to deliver a variety of substances. view more (2009-01-13)
UCLA researchers outline the structure of the largest non-virus particle ever crystallized
Researchers at UCLA, the California NanoSystems Institute, the David Geffen School of Medicine, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute have modeled the structure of the largest cellular structure ever crystallized, suggesting ways to engineer the particles for drug delivery. view more (2007-11-27)
Researchers develop better membranes for water treatment, drug delivery
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new generation of biomimetic membranes for water treatment and drug delivery. view more (2007-11-30)

NEWS Clone controversy highlights dangers to women's health (page 4) The report that a woman is pregnant with a human clone has been met with horror by bioethicists across the globe, who say that women pregnant with clones could die. 'Cloning is highly dangerous for women and essentially amounts to experimentation with women's reproductive organs'... view more... (2002-04-10)
Conference report highlights new research into drug delivery to treat eye disease
Researchers are investigating microneedles, nanoparticles and polymer carriers as potential new techniques to combat the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in the United States, according to a report from the Third Annual ARVO/Pfizer Ophthalmics Research Institute Conference. view more (2008-11-18)
Antiretroviral Therapy Around Childbirth Reduces Risk Of Mother-To-Child HIV-1 Transmission (pp 1168, 1178)
Antiretroviral therapy given to women before, during, and after childbirth could be beneficial in reducing mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission in the first few weeks after delivery, suggest authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. However, this short-term benefit could be compromised unless new interventions are identified to prevent... view more... (2002-04-04)
Boys cause more problems during labour
Women are more likely to encounter complications during labour and delivery when they are having a boy, according to researchers in this week's BMJ. The study took place in the National Maternity Hospital, Dublin using data from the delivery ward database during 1997 to 2000. All mothers who were pregnant for the first time with a singleton birth... view more... (2003-01-16)
Researchers test old drug with new hopes for pre-eclampsia cure
Researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston are trying to determine whether a drug already available to heart patients can also be used to delay delivery in expectant mothers with severe preeclampsia. view more (2007-09-17)
UCF Nanoparticle Offers Promise for Treating Glaucoma
A unique nanoparticle made in a laboratory at the University of Central Florida is proving promising as a drug delivery device for treating glaucoma, an eye disease that can cause blindness and affects millions of people worldwide. view more (2007-06-19)
Wrinkled membranes create novel drug-delivery system
A University of Illinois scientist studying how membranes wrinkle has discovered a novel system for on-demand drug delivery. view more (2006-02-15)
Aerosolized nanoparticles show promise for delivering antibiotic treatment
Aerosol delivery of antibiotics via nanoparticles may provide a means to improve drug delivery and increase patient compliance, thus reducing the severity of individual illnesses, the spread of epidemics, and possibly even retarding antibiotic resistance. view more (2009-05-20)
