Dr Ilona Schonn, Director of Cell Culture Research at Indivumed GmbH, told the conference that they had developed a preclinical drug test platform that would enable researchers to analyse tumour tissue for individual patient drug responses on the molecular level. http://www.huliq.com/11/86782/cancer-drug-test-promises-effective-clinical-trials#comments Health cancer drugs Cancer Treatment Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:50:47 -0500 harminka 86782 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/85937/cancer-drug-may-be-beneficent-alzheimers-patients A drug now used to treat cancer may also be able to restore memory deficits in patients with Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study conducted by scientists at Columbia University Medical Center, which appeared in the September issue of The Journal of Alzheimer's Disease: Volume 18:1. http://www.huliq.com/11/85937/cancer-drug-may-be-beneficent-alzheimers-patients#comments Health Alzheimer's disease cancer drugs Mon, 07 Sep 2009 01:32:38 -0500 harminka 85937 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/84580/researchers-develop-new-cancer-drug-delivery-system For cancer drug developers, finding an agent that kills tumor cells is only part of the equation. The drug must also spare healthy cells, and – ideally – its effects will be reversible, to cut short any potentially dangerous side effects. http://www.huliq.com/11/84580/researchers-develop-new-cancer-drug-delivery-system#comments Health cancer drugs drug delivery Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:24:13 -0500 harminka 84580 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/83650/new-findings-could-lead-better-cancer-drugs Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shed new light on a process that fixes breaks in the genetic material of the body's cells.
