Researchers engineer bacteria for targeted chemotherapy delivery

chemotherapy

Traditional chemotherapy often poses significant challenges, including severe side effects, damage to healthy tissue and limited efficacy.  Now, researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a revolutionary approach to cancer treatment — one that is a more targeted, effective, and less toxic alternative to traditional […]

A thyroxine derivative enhances brain drug delivery

delivery

A new study from the University of Eastern Finland shows that the delivery of drugs into the brain, and especially into glial cells, can be enhanced with prodrugs that temporarily incorporate thyroxine or a thyroxine-like molecule. The transporter protein OATP1C1, which is found in the brain, can be utilised in the delivery of such prodrugs. […]
