Engineered stem cells show promise for sneaking drugs into the brain
Posted on 2006-01-23 08:32:32 in Drug Delivery Technology | Gene Therapy |
One of the great challenges for treating Parkinson's diseases and other neurodegenerative disorders is getting medicine to the right place in the brain. The brain is a complex organ with many different types of cells and structures, and it is fortified with a protective barrier erected by blood vessels and glial cells -- the brain's structural building blocks -- that effectively blocks the delivery of most drugs from the bloodstream.

Slow-Release Microchip May See Off Pills
Posted on 2003-12-07 10:02:54 in Drug Delivery Technology |
A drug-containing implantable microchip could mean that patients will no longer have to worry about forgetting to take their medication. The microchip, which is just a touch over one centimeter in length, contains hundreds of small grooves that can be filled with drugs. The chip is then coated with different types of polymer that biodegrade at different rates, thus meaning that the chip can be loaded with several different drugs. Continue reading…

Microneedles too small to stimulate nerve endings can painlessly deliver drugs through the skin and could be available within five years, according to a researcher who is developing them.Source: http://www.betterhumans.com/News/news.aspx?articleID=2003-11-17-8 Continue reading…
New Technology Could Remove Need for Injections
Posted on 2003-06-08 14:08:06 in Drug Delivery Technology |
Scientists in Canada and Ireland are working on a new method of drug delivery that could eliminate the need for painful injections. Buccal delivery uses a device similar to an asthma inhaler to deliver drugs to the mouth where they are absorbed by the mucous membranes of the cheeks and tongue. The device will enable doctors to give patients drugs that need to be delivered straight into the bloodstream in order to avoid being metabolised by enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract.

Researchers Use Bacteria to Develop New Vaccines
Posted on 2003-06-02 12:44:40 in Drug Delivery Technology |
Researchers in the UK have turned to bacteria in the race to develop new vaccines against deadly diseases. Dr Simon M Cutting, of the Royal Holloway University of London, and colleagues have already successfully immunized mice against tetanus using an orally administered vaccine made from spores of bacteria attached to a part of the toxin produced by the tetanus bacterium.

Red Blood Cells Used to Deliver Drugs
Posted on 2003-06-02 12:41:09 in Drug Delivery Technology | Gene Therapy |
A team of Italian researchers have used a person's own red blood cells to deliver drugs into the body. Study leader Dr Mauro Magnani and his colleagues use a machine called the "Red Cell Loader" to attach drug molecules to the patient's red blood cells and then carry out a conventional blood transfusion to transplant them back into the body.

VIDEO: Brain Age Workshop
Dr. Eric Braverman, Director of The Place for Achieving Total Health (PATH Medical), Chairs the Brain Age Workshop taking place Dec. 9, 2009. Held in conjunction with the Winter Session of the 17th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine & Regenerative Biomedical Technologies. The Brain Age Workshop features presentations on Brain Mind Assessment via Neuropsychological Analysis, Movement Deficiency Syndrome, Hormones and the Brain, Nootropic Drug Mechanisms, and Traumatic Brain Injury. View this video to learn about Dr. Braverman’s brain-based model of aging and age modulation.
