Unusually stable glasses may benefit drugs, coatings
Just spray and chill. That sums up a new approach to making remarkably stable glassy materials from organic (carbon-containing) molecules that could lead to novel coatings and to improvements in drug delivery. view more (2006-12-11)
New gel pill could mean an end to injections
Scientists in India have developed a new gel that is taken orally and is capable of delivering drugs to manage diseases often requiring an injection. The research, published in the journal Polymer International, suggests the gel could offer a painless way of treating diabetes, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, bowel cancer, constipation and... view more...

Action needed to avoid HIV drug resistance in Africa
We should stop and think about the risks of resistance, and ways of minimising them, before increasing access to antiretroviral therapy in Africa, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. view more (2004-01-29)
New nanotoxicology study delivers promising results
Findings by a team of researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee bode well for using single-walled carbon nanohorns, a particular form of engineered carbon-based nanoparticles, for drug delivery and other commercial applications. view more (2007-08-20)
Novel 3-D cell culture model shows selective tumor uptake of nanoparticles
A nanoparticle drug delivery system designed for brain tumor therapy has shown promising tumor cell selectivity in a novel cell culture model devised by University of Nottingham scientists. view more (2007-08-23)
OptiNose presents new data on highly effective treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis
OptiNose today announced important new results from a Phase II trial of its novel nasal drug delivery device with fluticasone for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. view more (2009-04-20)
Delayed-release stimulant used to treat ADHD may be less subject to abuse
A team led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers has found that a delayed-release stimulant used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be less likely to be abused than other stimulant drugs. view more (2006-03-01)
Pregnant women risk early delivery from using psychiatric medication
The odds triple for premature child delivery pregnant women with a history of depression who used psychiatric medication, according to a new study. view more (2009-10-30)
New study suggests Rx estrogen delivery through the skin may show safety benefits as opposed to oral delivery
Transdermal delivery of estrogen therapy available by prescription "seems not to alter" the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), or blood clotting, in postmenopausal patients when compared to oral delivery, a new study suggests. view more (2009-03-27)
UCLA researchers develop new nanomaterials to deliver anti-cancer drugs to cells
Researchers at UCLA have successfully manipulated nanomaterials to create a new drug-delivery system that promises to solve the challenge of the poor water solubility of today's most promising anticancer drugs and thereby increase their effectiveness. view more (2007-06-08)
Treatment Of Mild Vaginal Infection During Pregnancy Could Reduce Miscarriage And Premature Birth (p 983)
Authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET conclude that the treatment of mild vaginal infection during pregnancy could reduce the risk of late miscarriage and premature birth. Mild bacterial infection in the vagina -which is often asymptomatic-is associated with an increased risk of late miscarriage and spontaneous preterm delivery... view more... (2003-03-20)
Cancer drug delivery research at Case Western Reserve University cuts time from days to hours
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed a technique that has the potential to deliver cancer-fighting drugs to diseased areas within hours, as opposed to the two days it currently takes for existing delivery systems. view more (2008-07-23)
Erectile dysfunction drugs allowed more chemotherapy to reach brain tumors in laboratory study
In a study using laboratory animals, researchers found that medications commonly prescribed for erectile dysfunction opened a mechanism called the blood-brain tumor barrier and increased delivery of cancer-fighting drugs to malignant brain tumors. view more (2008-07-29)
International scientists tackle obstacles to treating brain disorders
A research team led by scientists at the University of Minnesota Medical School and Oregon Health & Science University have outlined the challenges and made suggestions on how to advance research and improve treatments for brain disorders. view more (2007-12-21)
By Invitation only? Invited and uninvited applause in political speeches
Most applause during political speeches is initiated by the speaker, but it may also occur uninvited, initiated by the audience. This has significant implications for the evaluation of political speakers, in terms of both their popularity and skill as orators. These are the findings of research by Dr. Peter Bull and Pam Wells of the Department of... view more... (2000-08-25)
NYU researchers developing molecular delivery vehicles for genetic therapies
Researchers at New York University are working to develop molecular delivery vehicles that can be used to transport nucleic acids into diverse cell types, which may lead to eventual applications in genetic therapies. view more (2006-11-14)
Microneedles enhance drug administration through skin
In what is believed to be the first peer-reviewed study of its kind involving human subjects, researchers at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy and the Georgia Institute of Technology have demonstrated that patches coated on one side with microscopic needles can facilitate transdermal delivery of clinically-relevant doses of a drug... view more...

Study suggests brain haemorrhage in babies older than one month unlikely to be a result of traumatic delivery (p 846)
UK research in this week's issue of THE LANCET shows how asymptomatic subdural haematomas (bleeding in the brain) among newborn babies are more common than previously thought, are associated with the mode of delivery during childbirth, and are undetectable after a baby is a month old. The latter finding could have implications for the diagnosis of... view more... (2004-03-10)
Caesarean delivery of twins may prevent deaths
Second twins born at term are at higher risk of death due to complications during labour and delivery than first twins, but planned caesarean section may prevent such deaths, concludes a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-10-30)
The future of personalized cancer treatment: An entirely new direction for RNAi delivery
In technology that promises to one day allow drug delivery to be tailored to an individual patient and a particular cancer tumor, researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, have developed an efficient system for delivering siRNA into primary cells. view more (2009-05-18)
