Magnetically Guided Bacteria Transport Drug-Loaded Liposomes to Hypoxic Tumors
A novel transport system for toxic chemotherapeutic drugs is based on a species of bacteria that can be magnetically guided to a tumor where it releases drug-loaded liposomes into the tumor's hypoxic center. More...24 Aug 2016
Phase II Trial Confirms Potential of Venetoclax for Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Results of a Phase II clinical trial indicated that the candidate drug venetoclax was effective for treating patients whose acute myeloid (myelogenous) leukemia (AML) had relapsed or was resistant to chemotherapy. More...24 Aug 2016
Lung Cell Protein Triggers a Dangerous Immune Response
A protein in the cytoplasm of lung cells helps protect against viral infection, but following invasion by the influenza virus, the same protein stimulates the immune system to overact, which can lead to inflammation or pneumonia. More...23 Aug 2016
Antibiotics-Induced Changes to Gut Bacteria Influence Expression of Drug Side Effects
Antibiotic treatment disrupts the normal bacterial population of the gut resulting in changes in how the body deals with the breakdown and transport of drugs and other metabolites, which may increase the impact of deleterious side effects. More...23 Aug 2016
