Students devise oral quick-dissolve strips for rotavirus vaccine
A thin strip that dissolves in the mouth like a popular breath-freshener could someday provide life-saving rotavirus vaccine to infants in impoverished areas. The innovative drug-delivery system was developed by Johns Hopkins undergraduate biomedical engineering students. view more (2007-05-15)
Latest IMM-newsletter "IMMage" published
Special issue "reforming technology" „Micro systems for the people" was the motto of the last issue of our newsletter "IMMage". The urgent need for a sustainable, environmentally sound and resource sparing energy supply is certainly one of the questions concerning our society today. Hydrogen and fuel cells yield... view more... (2004-07-13)
Drug treatment likely to be based on biased evidence
Drug treatment is likely to be founded on biased evidence because drug companies tend to publish studies with more favourable results, suggest researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-05-28)
Nanoneedle is small in size, but huge in applications
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a membrane-penetrating nanoneedle for the targeted delivery of one or more molecules into the cytoplasm or the nucleus of living cells. view more (2009-04-29)
Vaporized viral vector shows promise in anti-cancer gene therapy
A new lung cancer therapy employing a vaporized viral vector to deliver a cancer-inhibiting molecule directly to lung tissue shows early promise in mouse trials, according to researchers at the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in Korea. view more (2009-06-09)
Deliveries that scar the soul
Post-traumatic stress is a serious condition of anxiety that can occur after events like wars, rapes, and assaults. But even seemingly positive experiences such as giving birth to a child can trigger post-traumatic stress. In Linköping researcher Johan Söderquist's studies 1-2 percent of new mothers met the criteria for post-traumatic... view more... (2002-12-13)
UC researchers find new ways to regulate genes, reduce heart damage
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati (UC) are looking for ways to reduce or prevent heart damage by starting where the problem often begins: in the genes. view more (2008-06-23)
Research Shows Prescribers Miss Possibly Dangerous Drug Interactions
Research led by The University of Arizona College of Pharmacy has found that medication prescribers correctly identified fewer than half of drug pairs with potentially dangerous drug-drug interactions. view more (2009-07-14)
Protein analysis methods, viral vectors featured in Cold Spring Harbor Protocols
Many proteins do not function by themselves as stand-alone units. Instead, multiple proteins associate to form larger structures called protein complexes. view more (2009-05-05)
U-M researchers use nanoparticles to target brain cancer

Older mothers more likely than younger mothers to deliver by Caesarean
Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have found that older mothers with normal, full-term pregnancies—particularly first-time older mothers—were more likely to undergo Caesarean delivery than were younger women with similarly low-risk pregnancies. view more (2007-03-09)
Long-lasting Nerve Block Could Change Pain Management
Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston have developed a slow-release anesthetic drug-delivery system that could potentially revolutionize treatment of pain during and after surgery, and may also have a large impact on chronic pain management. view more (2009-04-16)
Engineered stem cells show promise for sneaking drugs into the brain
One of the great challenges for treating Parkinson's diseases and other neurodegenerative disorders is getting medicine to the right place in the brain. view more (2005-12-15)
Topical erectile dysfunction therapy shows promise
An innovative drug-delivery system - nanoparticles encapsulating nitric oxide or prescription drugs - shows promise for topical treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), according to a new study by scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. view more (2009-09-21)
