Biomarker Helps Identify ‘Window Of Opportunity’ For Cancer Chemotherapy Timing
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is essential for tumor growth. A new study reported in The American Journal of Pathology describes a vascular stabilization biomarker that can visualize blood vessel activity, thus optimizing the timing of anticancer therapies including anti-angiogenics. Combination therapy using angiogenesis inhibitors and anticancer drugs can improve drug delivery into tumor tissues and…

Tiny Super Magnets Could Be the Future of Drug Delivery
Researchers discover how to control the movement of microscopic crystals. Microscopic crystals could soon be zipping drugs around your body, taking them to diseased organs. In the past, this was thought to be impossible — the crystals, which have special magnetic properties, were so small that scientists could not control their movement. But now a…

Prescription Medication Tragedies Could Be Prevented by Simple Pictures
Simple images designed to convey information about prescription drugs could help save lives and reduce the economic burden of non-adherence to treatment. New research published in Applied Ergonomics shows that including pictograms on written medication instructions helps seniors take their drugs correctly. Patients with multiple prescriptions can easily get confused and take the wrong medication,…
New Small Molecule Compounds Could Treat Ebola Virus Infection
Virus spread can be blocked by attacking Ebola’s Achilles’ heel. Scientists have found Ebola’s Achilles’ heel: a new kind of chemical compound can block the protein Ebola uses to break out of cells and infect new cells. The compounds, revealed in a new paper in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, could potentially be used to treat…
