The ability to predict how long someone is likely to live would help doctors tailor treatment plans. A new study looking at biomarkers in the blood concludes that more accurately estimating mortality might soon be possible. As it stands, doctor ...
Harvard University chemists have achieved what a new paper calls a "landmark in drug discovery" with the synthesis of halichondrin. Known to be a potent anti-cancer agent in mouse studies, and found naturally in sea sponges. ...
Researchers from the University of Montreal Hospital Research Centre (CRCHUM) have developed a two-step combination therapy to destroy cancer cells. In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, they show the superior therapeutic e ...
Within the pharmaceutical industry, 45% of clinical trials are completed late, or 70%-80% of studies are delayed or do not meet their timelines. Due to these reasons, one of the main goals for a CRO is to create a mitigating strategy that overcomes t ...
It’s a feat three decades in the making: Harvard University chemists have achieved what a new paper calls a “landmark in drug discovery” with the total synthesis of halichondrin. Known to be a potent anti-cancer agent in mouse studies, and found n ...
The Discovery of a new feature of a large class of pathogenic viruses may allow the development of new antiviral medications for the common cold, polio, and other illnesses, according to a new study publishing June 11 in the open-access journal ...
The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer has increased by nearly 50 percent in the last 30 years. A University of Colorado Cancer Center study presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago aimed t ...
A new colorectal cancer vaccine showed positive results in phase 1 clinical trial to demonstrate that the approach is safe. The patients treated had no signs of serious adverse events and samples of their blood contai ...
Treatment options for patients with CKD are limited and often determined by the etiology of the CKD. RAAS blockade (ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers) has so far been the only therapeutic intervention which has bee ...
But when something comes along that badly injures enough of those cells—such as a liver-damaging overdose of pain medicine—this vital work can come to a screeching halt. With few good treatment options available, more than 2,00 ...
