Scientists Unmask Key HIV Protein, Open Door For More Powerful AIDS Drugs

University of Michigan scientists have provided the most detailed picture yet of a key HIV accessory protein that foils the body's normal immune response. Based on the findings, which appear online in the journal PLoS Pathogens, the team is searching for new drugs that may someday allow infected people to be cured and no longer need today's AIDS drugs for a lifetime.

Carbon nanotubes deliver anticancer drugs into tumor cells

(Nanowerk News) Platinum-based anticancer agents have a long history as proven therapeutic agents, but their toxicity and short lifetime in the body and the ability of tumors to develop resistance to these drugs limit the ultimate utility of these agents. In an attempt to overcome these limitations, a multi-institutional research team comprising members from Stanford University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany is using targeted carbon nanotubes as delivery agents for an inactive form of platinum that cancer cells themselves convert into a toxic anticancer agent.

Pigeon in custody for smuggling drugs to Bosnian prisoners

A pigeon on a roof. Bosnian police have impounded a pigeon after discovering prisoners used it to smuggle drugs into one of the country's highest security jails, an official said Thursday.

New panel of mice helps predict how drugs are broken down in humans

Humans express several proteins that breakdown the synthetic chemicals and drugs (collectively known as xenobiotics) that we ingest or are administered. Expression of these proteins is itself regulated by the xenobiotic-sensing proteins PXR and CAR. Developing animal models to determine the relative importance of PXR and CAR for humans to breakdown a specific drug has been difficult because the human and animal proteins sense different xenobiotics.

Cracking enzyme code leads to new cancer drugs

Paris, Sept 01: Researchers have broken the code of an enzyme that plays a key role in the growth of most cancers, opening a path that potentially leads to a new class of anti-cancer drugs, reveals a study.

Scientists unmask key HIV protein, open door for more powerful AIDS drugs

New U-M discoveries on how HIV evades immune system could one day eliminate the need to take antiviral drugs for a lifetime

Gold nanorods provide synergistic boost to chemotherapy

Nanotechnology is starting to invade lots of other fields, and cancer treatment is no exception. Traditional chemotherapeutic drugs have a well-deserved reputation of causing excessive misery, but the benefits of aggressively treating the cancer still vastly outweighs the nausea, hair loss, and damage to the liver, kidneys, and heart (among other things). The effectiveness of chemotherapeutics can be improved by combining them with heating, but the methods for heating the body are often invasive and risky. Researchers have now combined gold nanorods and non-invasive thermal excitation with chemotherapeutic drugs and uncovered a surprising synergistic effect.

PCB official says drug charges against pacer Asif 'pretty conclusive'

Lahore, Aug.9: The Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) three-man committee, which is looking into fast bowler Mohammad Asif's detention in Dubai in June for allegedly possessing drugs, has completed its report, and the view is that evidence available on hand is 'pretty conclusive' that he was and is doing drugs.

Training Bacteria To Deliver Drugs?

Hugh Pickens writes "While it may seem unlikely that single-celled organisms could be trained to salivate like Pavlov's dog at the sound of a bell, researchers say that bacteria can 'learn' to associate one stimulus with another by employing molecular circuits. This raises the possibility that bioengineers could teach bacteria to act as sentinels for the human body, ready to spot and respond to signs of danger. As with Pavlov's dog, the bacteria in the model learn to build stronger associations between the two stimuli the more they occur together. Now called Hebbian learning, it's often expressed as a situation in which 'neurons that fire together wire together.'" (More below.)

Carbon nanotubes get more drugs into cancer cells

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence Focused on Therapy Response (CCNE-TR), based at Stanford University, have found a new way to target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. The solution involves using single-walled carbon nanotubes as delivery vehicles. The new method has enabled the researchers to get a higher proportion of a given dose of medication into the tumor cells than is possible with the “free” drug—that is, the one not bound to nanotubes—thus reducing the amount of medication needed to be injected into a subject to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
