In chemical genetics, a new strategy could speed drug discovery
Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have developed a new technique to speed discovery of drug targets in chemical genetics. As highlighted on the April cover of Chemistry & Biology, Fox Chase researcher Jeffrey R. Peterson, Ph.D., and his colleagues describe a new way to swiftly find the proteins targeted by small molecule inhibitors during... view more... (2006-04-24)
Anti-epileptic Drug Could Be Future Treatment Option For Alcoholism (pp 1666, 1677)
Authors of a US study in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide evidence that the anti-epileptic drug topiramate could be an effective future treatment for alcohol dependence. Bankole A Johnson from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, USA, and colleagues randomly allocated 150 heavy drinkers (defined as 5 alcoholic... view more... (2003-05-14)
Has drug regulation abandoned its public health mission?
Over the past 20 years, the pharmaceutical industry has skilfully managed to achieve an unhealthy influence over drug regulatory agencies, which may be threatening the public health needs of the European Union, according to an article in this week's BMJ. Professor John Abraham argues that European regulatory authorities, which were initially... view more... (2002-11-13)

Drug industry, nonprofits join forces to fight world's neglected diseases
Drug companies and nonprofit organizations are joining forces to develop new drugs and vaccines to target so-called "neglected" diseases that claim millions of lives in the developing world each year. view more (2009-11-12)
Newly found sensing system enables certain bacteria to resist human immune defenses
Researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health, have discovered a survival mechanism in a common type of bacteria that can cause illness. view more (2007-06-08)
Scientists can now differentiate between healthy cells and cancer cells
One of the current handicaps of cancer treatments is the difficulty of aiming these treatments at destroying malignant cells without killing healthy cells in the process. view more (2009-01-06)
Potential treatments from cryptic genes
Big pharma gave up on soil bacteria as a source of antibiotics too soon, according to research published in the June issue of Microbiology. Scientists have been mining microbial genomes for new natural products that may have applications in the treatment of MRSA and cancer and have made some exciting discoveries. view more (2008-06-02)
New imagining technique could lead to better antibiotics and cancer drugs
A recently devised method of imaging the chemical communication and warfare between microorganisms could lead to new antibiotics, antifungal, antiviral and anti-cancer drugs, said a Texas AgriLife Research scientist. view more (2009-11-10)
UI researchers discover star orbiting a 'medium-sized' black hole
University of Iowa researchers have found a star orbiting a "medium-sized" black hole - about 1,000 times more massive than the sun - in the nearby starburst galaxy M82, a development that may help explain how medium-sized black holes form and evolve. view more (2006-01-06)

Cancer Conundrum Cracked
Cancer researchers at the University of Dundee have just turned a common cancer belief on its head saying that a group of proteins previously believed to cause cancer can also be used in the fight against cancer. Dr Neil Perkins and his team in the School of Life Sciences have identified that NF-kappaB * a group of proteins present in every cell... view more... (2004-03-25)
Shoots but no droop in longer-lasting plants
Limp lettuce and wilting roses could be a thing of the past, following the identification of a key plant gene by University scientists. The discovery could also improve food shelf life, and help speed up reforestation programmes. Plant scientists Professor Meyer and Dr Elena Zubko have identified the plant gene which produces a specific type of... view more... (2002-04-25)
New possibilities for drug design
An article in Journal of Physics B, published on 7 July 2003 by the Institute of Physics, reports on a new technique which could in future help scientists working in rational drug design (a way of tailoring a new drug to fit the structure of the protein it targets) to develop drugs more efficiently. The work, which was on a molecule called... view more... (2003-07-04)
Researchers develop new ways to predict number of drug users
A team of researchers have developed a new method of predicting the number of drug users in the population by looking at the number of recorded overdose deaths among drug users. view more (2004-11-11)
