Drug Research

Impressive outcomes from a lung cancer drug have been reported in recently published research over the weekend.

Despite whether or not patients experience weight loss, a well-known anti-obesity medication has been proven to reinstate the functionality of immune cells that fight cancer.

After examining Bronze Age hair fragments discovered in the Es Carritx cave on the Spanish island of Menorca, researchers made the finding.

Public health researchers and clinicians said the rates of congenital syphilis began increasing before the pandemic and worsened as public health agencies diverted resources to COVID-19 testing and other pandemic-related health measures.

The Union Health Ministry said media reports claiming admission of 'multiple side-effects of COVID-19 vaccines' by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) officials are ill-informed.

The researchers used information from almost 6,000 people living in Helsinki, utilising prescription drugs for ailments.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, Tel Aviv University and Columbia University are studying a rare genetic brain disease called "GNB1 Encephalopathy" and trying to develop a drug to treat it effectively.

Researchers were concerned that Covid vaccine would reduce the effectiveness of drugs used to treat nasopharyngeal cancer, a type of throat cancer, but a new study shows the opposite.

A drug developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) may reverse the heart damage caused by a protein in the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a study conducted in fruit flies and mice has found.

Researchers have developed biodegradable nanoparticles from renewable resources which can release both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs having different anticancer mechanisms, thus reducing the dependency on petroleum-based polymers.

In a new study, researchers analysed how noradrenergic drugs, used in ADHD patients, can also be used for treating Alzheimer's. These drugs tend to target the noradrenergic system which has locus coeruleus, a small part of the brainstem.

Scientists have discovered ways to fit worms in hydrogel suits that allow them to carry cancer drugs to tumours. Researchers from Osaka University found that coating nematodes in a hydrogel-based sheath can allow scientists to make the worms carry various kinds of cargo, including cancer drugs that can be directly reach to cancerous cells.

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) created a human tissue model to demonstrate the functioning of nanoparticles. Now, the team of researchers has developed nanoparticles that can carry the drug and enter tumours, killing the glioblastoma cells.

A team of Chinese researchers have developed a compact wireless device – a flexible (smart) contact lens – that appears to detect rising eye pressure. When the lens detects that eye pressure has reached a risk level, the wireless system triggers the release of the drug. The drug flows from the underside of the lens across the cornea into the ey...

In a significant move to bring critical research and development capabilities under one roof, pharmaceutical company Pfizer has set up a global drug development centre at the IIT Madras Research Park in Tamil Nadu's Chennai.
