UCLA researchers discover how drug binds to neurons to stop drunken symptoms of alcohol
UCLA researchers discovered how an experimental drug, called Ro15-4513, binds to specific receptors on brain neurons, which helps explain how this drug stops the drunken behavioral symptoms of alcohol such as impaired motor coordination, memory loss and drowsiness. view more (2006-05-09)
Vardenafil: A potential drug to protect gastric mucosa
Indomethacin has been proved by epidemiological and experimental studies to be closely associated with peptic ulcer development. Vardenafil is a potent phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor and its effects on the gastric mucosa havenot been reported. view more (2009-11-18)
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)
Epilepsy drug may help Alzheimer's patients
A popular epilepsy drug may also be beneficial in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), according to a new study to be published on October 27 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. The anti-seizure drug valproic acid improved memory and reduced brain lesions in mice with an AD-like disease. view more (2008-10-27)
Random drug testing in schools is unworkable
Random drug testing in schools is unworkable because schools could not satisfy government criteria for introducing new screening programmes, claims a public health expert in this week's BMJ. The Department of Health has 19 criteria for introducing new screening programmes. At least 18 of these are not met for widespread drug urine analysis in... view more... (2004-03-10)
While focusing on heart disease, researchers discover new tactic against fatal muscular dystrophy
Based on a striking similarity between heart disease and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have discovered that a new class of experimental drugs for heart failure may also help treat the fatal muscular disorder. view more (2009-02-09)
A new computational technique predicts side-effects of a major cancer drug
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a novel computer technique to search for the side effects of major pharmaceuticals. view more (2007-11-28)
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)
Environmental enrichment can reduce cocaine use, researchers find
Simple environmental enrichment and increased social stress can both affect the level of individual drug use, according to new monkey research at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. view more (2008-04-07)
Experimental Drug Boosts Survival in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer Patients
New clinical data showed an experimental drug called pertuzumab prolonged the survival time for women with recurrent ovarian cancer, a University of Alabama at Birmingham doctor said recently. view more (2007-09-28)
Researchers develop better membranes for water treatment, drug delivery

e-Science methods reveal new insights into antibiotic resistance
Large-scale computer simulations have pinpointed a tiny change in molecular structure that could account for drug resistance in Streptomices pneumoniae, the organism that causes childhood pneumonia and claims 3.5 million lives a year, mainly in developing countries. view more (2005-08-16)
Scientists up the ante in war against "superbugs"
Scientists have discovered a weakness in tuberculosis-causing "superbugs" which could help doctors fight the emergence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, says Dr Jim Naismith speaking at the BA Festival of Science at the University of Glasgow today [3rd Spetember 2001]. Tuberculosis (TB) affects more than 50 million people worldwide.... view more... (2001-08-30)
Potential atherosclerosis drug exhibits no harmful side-effects in liver
Researchers have developed and tested a synthetic atherosclerosis drug that can reduce the build-up of dangerous blood vessel plaques without producing the side-effect of fatty liver disease (which leads to its own set of problems like diabetes). The encouraging results of this study in mice could lead to a new type of drug to treat or even... view more... (2009-02-13)
A search for protection against chemotherapy cardiotoxicity
Researchers at the University of Grenoble, in France, have discovered that erythropoietin administration prevents acute cardiotoxic effects induced by doxorubicin and trastuzumab exposures. view more (2007-12-21)
New President for The British Psychological Society
The British Psychological Society's new President, Professor Graham Davey, takes over from Vicki Bruce at the Society's Annual Conference in Blackpool on Friday 15 March. Professor Davey has worked at the University of Sussex since 1994 as Professor of Psychology in the School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences. He graduated with a B.A and PhD in... view more...
