There is a best time to take your medications, but your doctor may not know when that is. Researchers are still figuring it out, one drug at a time.
While pills are more practical than injections or infusions, digestion in the stomach prevents many drugs from being taken orally. Better drug design could change this.
From tablets and patches to ointments and infusions, the best way to deliver a drug is the one that gets the right amount to the right place.
New approach to preventing seizures proves effective in mice.
Humble hydrogels could one day replace hypodermic needles and repair damaged hearts.
Scientists are using DNA to build exciting new nanotechnologies that could change everything from electronics to energy.
Half of all vaccines are wasted. Microneedles may be one way to tackle the problem.
New research could into nanoparticles could help deliver drugs straight to the site of tumours and make them more effective when they get there.
In the development of new drugs, taking something from nature and modifying it has been a successful tactic employed by medicinal chemists for years. Now, with the help of nanotechnology, researchers are…
The history of science is full of episodes when a seemingly ludicrous theory is ridiculed, but then slowly gathers evidence and support to move from the fringes to the heart of the scientific consensus…
Development of new drugs for treatment of disease is an expensive, time-consuming and labour-intensive effort for both pharmaceutical companies and academics. For the past 15 years, “cost per approval…
While scientists develop new drugs to treat a multitude of conditions, nanotechnology is pushing the boundaries of how we deliver them to patients - targeting delivery to cancer cells and giving a drug…
Awareness during general anaesthesia is very uncommon, but when it occurs it’s distressing for patients and their carers. Our understanding of this phenomenon has grown over the past decade but we’re still…
A new acid-powered micro-rocket could be used to deliver drugs within the human body. The micro-rocket works by converting…
A quantum atom has been tracked inside a living human cell for the first time, potentially opening the door to advanced methods…
