Progress in understanding the malarial parasite
About 2 million people die of malaria every year, of which more than a million are children in sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite belonging to the genus Plasmodium, and Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most severe form of malaria. view more (2007-09-14)
New hope for advances in treating malaria
Researchers at the University of Leeds have developed chemicals which kill the most deadly malaria-causing parasite, Plasmodium falciparum -- including those resistant to existing drugs. view more (2009-04-22)
Bigger is better when it comes to the G spot
DRUGS such as Viagra should work for some women- especially if they have a big G spot. This spot, famed for producing spectacular orgasms, turns out to be awash with the enzymes that these drugs act on. The term G spot, coined by Ernest Grafenberg in 1950, refers to an area a few centimetres up inside the vagina on the side closest to a woman`s... view more... (2002-07-03)
Drug resistance may travel same path as quorum sensing
The cellular "pumps" associated with multi-drug resistance in bacteria may also be involved in exporting signals responsible for cell-cell communication, a process known as quorum sensing. view more (2006-02-07)
Morphine Makes Lasting - and Surprising - Change in the Brain
Morphine, as little as a single dose, blocks the brain's ability to strengthen connections at inhibitory synapses, according to new Brown University research published in Nature. view more (2007-04-26)
Slipping past the blood brain barrier: Research shows potential treatment for brain cancer
A compound that kills cancer can sneak past the blood brain barrier, which protects the brain from foreign substances, to do its work in fighting a particularly invasive brain cancer. view more (2005-08-23)
Chemotherapy can be more toxic to brain cells than to cancer cells and may cause brain damage
Drugs used to treat cancer may damage normal, healthy brain cells more than the cancer cells they are meant to target. view more (2006-11-30)
Cholesterol treatment, including statins, may slow Alzheimer's disease progression
Cholesterol lowering drugs, including statins, may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease, concludes a study in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. view more (2005-11-17)
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)
Revolution in the fight against cancer & viruses
A recent scientific discovery could herald the introduction of fast, effective treatments for cancer and viruses. view more (2006-05-26)
Columbia University researchers discover on-off switch for chronic pain
Chronic pain affects approximately 48 million people in the U.S. and current medications are either largely ineffective or have serious side effects. view more (2006-07-20)
New stem-cell findings can help the body to cure itself
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified an important mechanism that regulates how many new cells are produced by each intestinal stem cell. The study is published in the latest issue of the prestigious scientific journal, Cell. view more (2006-06-16)
Swimming with dolphins can alleviate depression
Swimming with dolphins is an effective treatment for mild to moderate depression, say researchers in this week's BMJ. view more (2005-11-28)
Antidepressants linked to lower child suicide rates
esearchers report an inverse relationship between antidepressant prescriptions and the rates of suicide in children and adolescents - a finding that contradicts the Food and Drug Administration's "black box" warning for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor medications, also known as SSRI drugs. view more (2006-11-02)
Scientists pool information to boost understanding of drug action
As a result of the Human Genome Project, scientists now know the human DNA codes for about 20,000-25,000 genes, each of which could be a target for the development of new medicines. However, most scientists believe that only about 10% of these genes are likely targets for the drugs of the future. view more (2005-12-01)
Our brains make their own marijuana: We're all pot heads deep inside
U.S. and Brazilian scientists have just proven that one of Bob Dylan's most famous lines--"everybody must get stoned"-- is correct. view more (2009-04-21)
GABA halts stem cell production in the brain
Release of the neurotransmitter GABA by adult neuronal precursor cells that develop into neurons limits stem cell proliferation, according to a study at Yale School of Medicine in the September issue of Nature Neuroscience. view more (2005-09-02)
U of M researchers discover compounds to shrink tumors
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed novel anti-cancer drugs to treat solid tumors. These "small molecules" belong to a class of pharmaceutical agents called anti-angiogenics. view more (2006-07-06)
Structure of key cancer drug target identified
Researchers from Monash's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology have determined the structure of the protein JAK2 kinase, a discovery with huge implications for the design and development of new cancer drugs. view more (2005-10-26)
Gold nanoparticles could improve antisense cancer drugs
In the fight against cancer, antisense drugs, which prevent genes from producing harmful proteins such as those that cause cancer, have the promise to be more effective than conventional drugs, but the pace of development of these new drugs has been slow. view more (2006-05-19)
